Question

which pair of alternatives is highlighted by the life cycle of the cellular slime molds, such as Dictyostelium?

A) prokaryotic or eukaryotic

B) unicellular or multicellular

C) diploid or haploid

D) autotroph or heterotorph

17) Similar to most amoebozoans, the forams and the radiolarians also have pseudopods, as do some of the white blood cells of animals(monocytes). If one were to build a taxon that included all organism that have cells with pseudopods, what would be true of such a taxon?

A) It would be polyphyletic.

B) It would be paraphyletic.

C) it would be monophyletic.

D) it would include all eukarotes.

18) you are designing an artificial drug-delivery “cell” that can penetrate animal cells. Which of these protist structures should provide the most likely avenue for research along these lines?

A) pseudopods

B) apical complex

C) excavated feeding grooves

D) nucleomorphs

E) mitosomes

Explanation / Answer

1) B

17) A

18)A Pseudopods are temporary cytoplasmic projections of the cell membrane in certain unicellular protists such as amoeba. Pseudopods, also called pseudopodia (singular: pseudopodium), literally means false foot. That is because they are associated with locomotion. Cell membrane is similar to animal cells so it’s best suited for experiments
