Answer the question in essay form (not outline form), using complete sentences. You may use diagrams to supplement your answers, but a diagram alone without appropriate discussion is inadequate. 1. What kind of organisms are found in the kingdom Protista? What characteristics do they share? 2. Explain how parasitic zooflagellates infect their hosts. Give two examples. 3. Describe the life cycle of Plasmodium. What features typical of sporozoans does this life cycle exhibit. 4. Describe the four phyla of protozoa. 5. Would a motile or nonmotile protozoan be more likely to be free-living? Explain your answer. 6. Distinguish between the terms Protist and Protozoan. 7. What is conjugation? How is this process advantageous for ciliates, such as Paramecium? 8. Describe the process of ameboid movement and how it helps with the amoeba’s nutrition. 9. What are pseudopodia? What functions do they serve in sarcodines? 10. Describe Three means of locomotion among protozoa. 11. What is a cyst? Under what conditions might certain protozoa form cysts? 12.
