What is an organism that lives in or on a host cell?
A parasite is an organism that lives in or on a host cell. Parasites rely on the host for nutrients and can cause harm to the host they live in. Examples include Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria, and tapeworms.
What does the word host cell mean?
A host cell is a cell that is infected or invaded by a virus, bacteria, or parasite that uses the host's cellular machinery to replicate or survive. In the context of parasitology, it refers to the cell that a parasite lives in or feeds on.
How long must a malaria parasite grow in its host before infection can be spread to human being?
It takes about 8-30 days for the malaria parasite to complete its growth in the mosquito before it is capable of infecting a human host. This period allows the parasite to develop in the mosquito's salivary glands, where it can be transmitted to humans when the mosquito bites.
What is acellular obligatory parasite?
An acellular obligatory parasite is a type of parasite that lacks cellular structure and relies on a host cell's machinery for survival and reproduction. Examples include viruses, viroids, and prions. These parasites cannot replicate or carry out metabolic functions independent of a host cell.
What is One pleiotropic affect of sickle cell syndrome?
One pleiotropic effect of sickle cell syndrome is increased resistance to malaria. The genetic mutation that causes sickle cell disease also confers some protection against malaria infection, as the malaria parasite has difficulty surviving in the altered red blood cells of individuals with sickle cell trait.

Where does the mosquito carry the malaria parasite?
it carries it to the host
What group does malaria parasite belong?
Malaria parasite is a protozoan.
Is the parasite that causes malaria a type of euglenoid?
No, the parasite that causes malaria is not a type of euglenoid. The parasite that causes malaria is a type of protozoan.

Does a parasite give humans chickenpox or malaria?
Chickenpox is caused by a virus, and malaria is caused by a parasite.
What is malaria in biology?
Malaria is a protist that is a deadly parasite.
What is an example of a dependent protist?
An example of a dependent protist is an apicomplexan parasite like Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria. This protist depends on a host organism for survival and reproduction, and cannot live independently outside of a host cell.
Which test is used to detect malaria?
Antigen test for malaria parasite and peripheral smear for malarial parasite.
Malaria is caused by a?
Parasite
What is a harmful organism that lives on a host cell?
Parasite (not sure though)
