Development involves an embryonic stage

What happens during conjugation in most ciliates?

It invades the intestinal lining and secretes enzymes that cause loss of fluid; it can also cause abscesses on the liver and other organs.

Which is an example of a Ciliophoran protozoa?

Paramecium

The ciliate group of protists would include

Paramecium caudatum.

Which of the following is/are correct descriptions of unicellular eukaryote characteristics?

No germ layers are ever formed.

Which one of the following statements regarding metazoan origins is true?

Placozoans may be similar to the single ancestral state. Features like their small nuclear genome and their large mitochondrial genome are features that may be derived from a common ancestor shared with some animal outgroups.

How does the mosquito transmit malaria from an ill person to a healthy person?

Plasmodium gametocytes are taken up from one person's blood, fuse to form a zygote that becomes a motile ookinete, that crosses the stomach wall, forms an oocyst that undergoes sporogony and the sporozoites then migrate to the saliva ducts to be injected into the human host.

Which is a member of the apicomplexan group of protists?

Plasmodium vivax

To what extent are the cells of a colonial Volvox specialized?

Somatic cells function in nutrition and locomotion while a few "germ" cells carry out reproduction.

Which of the following is NOT found in at least some sponges?

Spicules of fibrous protein

Which of the following statements about sponges is NOT correct?

Sponge cells can transform from one cell type to another, a trait not seen in other kinds of animals

Flagellated canals of syconoid sponges form by evagination of the body wall and these sponges often develop through a simple vase-like stage. Which of the following is a logical hypothesis based on this evidence?

Syconoid sponges were derived from asconoid ancestors.

Which one of the following statements regarding the origin of metazoans has the most support?

The choanoflagellates share features with the sponges, like having collars of microvilli surrounding a flagellum and being colonial. These shared features suggest a link to at least one metazoan lineage.

What are the functions of the macronucleus and one or more small micronuclei in Paramecium?

The micronucleus undergoes meiosis to produce haploid micronuclei that are exchanged in conjugation; the macronucleus is responsible for the "day-to-day" functions of the cell.

Some organisms undergo meiosis to produce gametes that fuse to form a zygote internally without leaving the organism. What is the effect of this process on genetic diversity of the offspring?

The offspring would vary from the parent because it would produce different recombinations of each chromosome pair.

Which statement about adult sponges is false?

Their bodies are aggregations of one cell type.

A Paramecium "knows" when it has encountered a noxious substance and backs off to veer away. As a one-celled organism, how does it "know" to do this?

This is a rather simple stimulus that changes the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane and depolarization of the membrane results in cilia reversing their direction of beating.

Which is NOT a trait of sponges?

Water enters through the osculum

What is found at the base of every flagellum or cilium?

a kinetosome

The most likely mechanism for removing excess water by contractile vacuoles is

a proton pump that also pulls water into the vacuole.

The macronucleus of a ciliate elongates, constricts and divides without going through the mitotic stages in a process called

amitosis

The early development of a globular colony (with flagella inward) that then turns inside-out (with flagella outward) is

called inversion, and it is very rare among animals, only occurring in colonial flagellates and sponges.

Cells responsible for water flow and capture of some particles are the

choanocytes.

Which protozoan is used to test hypotheses of how multicellular organisms arose from their closest unicellular relatives?

choanoflagellates

The structural protein found in all sponges is

collagen

Ectoplasm

contrasts with endoplasm; both ectoplasm and endoplasm are cytoplasmic components.

pinacocytes.

Most ciliophoran protozoa

If a sponge is fragmented and cells are dissociated from one another, the cells will
