Premium Eukaryote Cell Evolution
A Survey of Eukaryotic Cells and Microorganisms HISTORY OF EUKARYOTES: 1. Evidence indicates that the first Eukaryotic cells first appeared on the earth approximately 2 billion years ago. Fossilized cells appear in shale sediments from China‚ Russia and Australia the date from 850-950 million years ago. 2. Biologists have discovered evidence to suggest that the eukaryotic cell evolved from prokaryotic organisms by a process of intracellular symbiosis. 3. Some of the organelles that

Protists Protists are a very large‚ diverse group of organisms‚ including the plant-like protists (algae)‚ fungi-like protists‚ and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic‚ and most are unicellular. Traditional taxonomy of protists (Kingdom Protista) did not accurately represent evolutionary relationships‚ so the classification of this group is unsettled. Modern taxonomy has rearranged the group formerly known as Kingdom Protista‚ separating the different types of organisms

Malaria In epidemiology‚ a vector is any agent (person‚ animal or microorganism) that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism. Malaria‚ and also know as Plasmodium Falciparum is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by protists (a type of microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. It begins with a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito‚ which introduces the protists through saliva into the circulatory system. In the blood

What is Malaria? (Knowing more on how to deal with Malaria) A. History of Malaria Although the parasite responsible for P. falciparum malaria has been in existence for 50‚000–100‚000 years‚ the population size of the parasite did not increase until about 10‚000 years ago‚ concurrently with advances in agriculture and the development of human settlements. Close relatives of the human malaria parasites remain common in chimpanzees. Some evidence suggests that the P. falciparum malaria may have originated
