Options
A.These are all unicellular protists
B.They have flagella
C.They produce spores
D.These are all protists
Solution
Tryanosoma,Noctiluca,Monocystis and Giardia are all unicellular protists. Tryanosoma gambiense is the single celled, parasitic zooflagellate causing trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness. Giardia of the ′Grand old man of the intestine′ is a parasitic flagellate occurring in the intestine of man and other animals and causes giardiasis or dinrrhoea (ie, very loose and freuent stool containing large quantity of fat).
Noctiluca is a marine a marine, colourless dinoflagellate. It is a voracious predator and has a long, motile tentacle, near the base of which, its single short flagellum emerges.
Monocystis is a microsopic, unicellular endoparasitic protozoan round in the coelom and seminal vesicles of earthworm. As it is an endoparasite, it does not possess any special structure for locomotion.
