FRIDAY,10 OCT

Friday,10 october . We having test 1 at 8.30 a.m at biotech2.2 . Questions quite challenging but I try to do a best . We continue lecture but not really a formal lecture because we need to working in a group to make a best technique for study . We have chosen mind map technique and do on protozoa . other group showed very interesting technique like Choy’s group they sang on protozoa song to ease understanding on protozoa . Very impressive facts about protozoa that i get to know from today's are

- Protozoa are notable for their ability to move independently.

- Protozoa are located in most moist habitats, Free-living species inhabit freshwater and marine environments, and terrestrial species inhabit decaying organic matter. Some species are parasites of plants and animals.

- Protozoa vary substantially in size and shape. Smaller species may be the size of fungal cell . larger species may be visible to the unaided eye.

- Protozoa are heterotrophic microorganisms, and most species obtain large food particles by phagocytosis. The food particle is ingested into a food vacuole. Lysosomal enzymes then digest the nutrients in the particle, and the products of digestion are distributed throughout the cell.

-major group in protozoa is Archaezoa, Rhizopoda, Cilliophora, and Apicomplexa

Example of archaezoa

                                                            Trypanosoma

Example of rhizopoda

   

                                                              amoebae

Example of ciliophora

                                                             paramecium

Example of apicomplexa

                                                                plasmodium

this is very interesting protozoa song
