Plasmodium is a monocellular parasite causing malaria to humans. The parasite's life cycle always includes two hosts, an insect host and a vertebrate host. The parasite's cells are injected into the vertebrate's (human in our case) bloodstream by the insect host (mosquito). There are several stages in its life cycle but the sexual reproduction occurs only in the insect. In the insect, gametocytes (haploid gametes) merge and form a zygote which in turn becomes an oocyst. Oocysts divide multiple times and that way a great number of sporozoites is produced. These sporozoites travel to the salivary gland of the mosquito and are injected into the bloodstream of the second host, the human. In humans, sporozoites infect liver cells and red blood cells.

According to this information, the four statements about Plasmodium which are true are:
 -Plasmodium cells are transferred to human cells through mosquito saliva.
-The complete life cycle of Plasmodium requires two hosts.
-Plasmodium cells infect two specific types of cells in humans.
- Inside an infected mosquito haploid gametes fuse, forming a haploid zygote that develops into an oocyst.

Why are there no gram-positive Archaea species, but there are gram-positive bacteria species?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:  A. Archaea lack peptidoglycan.

Species of bacteria are named gram-positive because of their positive respond towards gram staining technique. These bacteria retain the crystal violet dye and are colored pink or purple because of the presence of thick layer of peptidoglycan in their cell walls, whereas the gram-negative bacteria has thin layer of peptidoglycan hence, cannot retain the stain of the dye. Archaea species do not possess peptidoglycan in their cell wall, therefore will give negative response to gram staining technique, hence, there are no gram-positive Archaea species.
