If both red algae and green algae are photosynthetic, what would make the green algae more related to plants than the red algae?
Briefly list the steps involved in the Plasmodium life cycle.
Plasmodium zygotes in mosquito gut transform into sporozoites --> Sporozoites travel from mosquito salivary gland into human bloodstream through mosquito bite --> Sporozoites travel to liver cells and reproduce asexually to form merozoites --> Merozoites invade red blood cells. When red blood cells die, they release merozoites and trigger severe chills and fever --> Merozoites can develop into immature male and female gametes --> Mosquito ingests the blood of infected human where gametes fuse to form Plasmodium zygotes in Mosquito gut.
