    What is the phylum that Euglena is in? 

    Explanation
    Euglena belongs to the phylum Euglenozoa. This phylum includes a diverse group of single-celled organisms that have characteristics of both plants and animals. Euglenozoa organisms, like Euglena, have a unique feature called a flagellum that they use for movement. They also have a specialized organelle called an eyespot that allows them to detect light. Euglenozoa organisms are typically found in freshwater environments and can undergo photosynthesis when sunlight is available, but can also switch to heterotrophic mode when necessary.

    The causative agent of sleeping sickness?

    • Giardia

    • Trypanosoma

    • Difflugia

    • Ameoba

    Correct Answer
    A. Trypanosoma
    Explanation
    Trypanosoma is the correct answer for the causative agent of sleeping sickness. Sleeping sickness, also known as African trypanosomiasis, is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected tsetse flies. The parasite affects the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headaches, and sleep disturbances, which can progress to more severe neurological symptoms if left untreated. Giardia, Difflugia, and Amoeba are not associated with sleeping sickness.

    Some Amoeba are the causative agent of ______________?

    Correct Answer
    Dysentery
    dysentery
    Explanation
    Amoeba can be the causative agent of dysentery. Dysentery is a gastrointestinal infection characterized by inflammation of the intestines, leading to severe diarrhea with blood and mucus in the stool. Certain species of amoeba, such as Entamoeba histolytica, can infect the intestines and cause amoebic dysentery. These amoebas are typically transmitted through contaminated food or water and can cause significant illness if left untreated. Therefore, it is important to identify and treat amoebic dysentery promptly to prevent complications and further spread of the infection.
