Describe one way that a protist can make you sick. In your answer, name and describe at least two specific prokaryotic structures involved in pathogensis
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: One way that a protist can make you sick is malaria. This is caused by Protozoa plamodium. It is transmitted to people through bites of female mosquitoes. These mosquitoes are infected anopheles. Once the body has encountered injection, the liver cells are targeted. Asexual reproduction now begins. The hepatic schizont ends up rupturing and releases merozoites. The pre-erythrocytes phase occurs and asexual reproduction allows for thousands of merozoites to be released into infected hepatocytes.The merosoites invade red blood cells. Haemoglobin starts to be consumed and eventually the parasite causes proteolysis. The red blood cells end up rupturing and infects fresh blood cells. The parasite divides into male or female gametocytes. These are picked u by mosquitos. In the mosquitos stomach, diploid zygotes are formed which then becomes a worm. This worm develops sporozoites into a cavity of the mosquito and allows for a cycle to begin once again
