Question | Answer |
---|---|
thin, pointed pseudopodia that contain a central longitudinal (axial) filament of microtubules | axopodia |
a mode of asexual reproduction in which the animal splits into 2 approximately equal offspring | binary fission |
a hairlike, virbratile organelle process found on many animal cells. may be used in moving particles along the cell surface or in ciliate protozans for locomotion | cilia |
temporary union of 2 ciliate protoza while they are exchanging chromatin material and undergoing nuclear phenomenom resulting in binary fission. also formation of cytoplamic bridges between bacteria for transfer of plasmids | conjugation |
the cell mouth in many protoza | cytosome |
clear, thin, outer layer of cytoplasm | ectoplasm |
inner, granular cytoplasm | endoplasm |
whiplike organelle used for locomotion | flagella |
blunt, lobelike pseudopodia | lobopodia |
a small trophozoite at the stage just after cytokinesis had been completed in multiple fission of a protozoan plasmodiam life cycle , infective stage for humans | merozoites |
the larger of the 2 gamete types in a heterogametric organism, considered to be the female gamete | macrogamete |
the smaller of the 2 gamete types in a heterogametric organism, considered to be the male gamete | microgamete |
the larger of the 2 kinds of nucleii in a ciliate protozoa: controls all cell functions except reproduction | macronucleus |
a small nucleus found in ciliate protozoa: controls the reproductive functions of these organisms | micronucleus |
thin, translucent, secreted envolope covering many protozoa | pellicle |
branched filaments that merge to form a net-like structure | reticulopodia |
multiple asexual fission merozoites produced; 1st of 3 stages in plasmodiam life cycle | schizogony |
a stage in the life history of many sporazoan protozoa; released from oocysts; results of sexual reproduction | sporozoite |
the motile zygote of malarial parasites | ookinete |
adult stage in the life cycles of a protozoans in which it is actively absorbing nourishment; in red blood cells | trophozoites |
