In Plasmodium, for example, the sporozoites are cells that produce in the mosquito's salivary glands, leave the mosquito during a blood meal, and drive liver cells (hepatocytes), where they generate. Cells infected with sporozoites ultimately burst, delivering merozoites into the bloodstream. Merozoites are non-motile.A merozoite is a daughter cell of a protozoan parasite. Merozoites are the consequence of asexual propagation. Sporozoites are designed by sporogony, a type of sexual or asexual reproduction by multiple fission of a spore or zygote, representative of many sporozoans.

External ear structure that helps to localize the direction from which sound arises

Step2247 [10]

The external ear structure is called the Pinna.

The Pinna helps to channel sound waves into the ear.

Many animals have the ability to move their pinna towards the direction of sound.

I have attached an image of a dog's ear to show you the external structure called the Pinna.

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

A Cotton shirt takes more time to dry as compared to a synthetic shirt. Why?<br><br>

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Due to absorption of more water.

Explanation:

A Cotton shirt takes more time to dry as compared to a synthetic shirt due to absorption of more water by the cotton fiber as compare to other fiber. Cotton absorbs much more water than other synthetic fibers, and attached to the molecules of cotton for longer period of time which means cotton fibers take more time to dry as compared to synthetic fiber which absorb little amount of water and loosely attached to the molecules of fiber.

How does water move underground?

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Groundwater is transported through aquifers because of two main reasons: gravity and pressure. In unconfined aquifers, which we concentrate on because they are more likely to be contaminated, water always flows from high points to low points because of gravity.
