The difference is that plasmodium is the acellularversion of a slime mold, represented by a large ameoba-like structure. This is aquatic and moves slowly. When challenged it forms a verticle fruiting body resistant to drought. On the other hand pseudoplasmodium is the cellular version of a slime mold, represented by individual cells. When challenged these cells signal each other via cyclic AMP and clump together, forming one large mass. Together this mass is called a pseudoplasmodium ("pseudo" meaning false).
Pseudoplasmodium is also known as a slug. A slug is about 2 to 4 mm long and composed of up to one hundred thousand cells.
Acellular slime molds in phylum Myxomycota form a slug-like mass known as a plasmodium. This structure is formed by the aggregation of individual amoeboid cells and serves as the feeding stage of the organism. It moves across the substratum in search of food.
many cells acting as one organism
There are five types of malaria. The types are plasmodium vivax, plasmodium malariae, plasmodium ovale, plasmodium falciparum, and plasmodium knowlesi.
You have four species of Plasmodium which causes malaria in humans. They are Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum, P. ovale and P. malariae.
Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae.
In humans, malaria is caused by female Anopheles mosquito. The five types are Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malarie Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium falciparum, and Plasmodium knowles.
Plasmodium are motile.
malaria is caused by plasmodium.
The protzoal parasite that causes Malaria are Plasmodium Vivax Plasmodium Falciparum Plasmodium Malariae Plasmodium Ovale It is an intracellular parasite that inhabits the Red Blood Cells and the liver. P. Falciparum cause Cerebral Malaria.
Pseudoplasmodium is a collection of amoebae that have combined due to a loss of food source. This aggregated of amoebae forms a slug structure with a defined body that is motile and responds to light and temperature. Under specific conditions, this grex can 'sprout' out stalks that create spore like structures to form a protective cellular wall. These spores can turn into individual amoebae when a food supply is replenished.
