Answer:

The correct pair is A: "apicomplexans—parasites of animals"

Explanation:

  • Euglenophyta is a group of unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. They are small, free-living forms, or parasites that present different feeding mechanisms and behaviors, such as heterotrophy, autotrophy, or mixotrophy.
  • Dinoflagellates are unicellular, flagellated, free-living protists that might form colonies. Most of them are autotrophic organisms but some of them are heterotrophic, or mixotrophic. In these last cases, dinoflagellates can feed on other dinoflagellates, protozoans, or diatoms. They can also be parasites.
  • Entamoebas are endoparasitic organisms with no mitochondria as an adaptation of living in environments with low oxygen concentration.
  • Apicomplexa is a unicellular, protist group. They have medical and economic importance as they are<u> animals</u> and human parasites. They have an apical complex that helps them to fixate to the host cell and release a substance that provokes an invagination in the host membrane. This invagination allows the parasite to get into the host cell.

suter [353]

Answer:

C: autocrine

Explanation:

There are three types of hormones according to where their target cells are.

  • Endocrine: Their target cells are distributed far and they travel via blood to reach the target cells.
  • Paracrine: Their target cells are often their neighbors so they often diffuse to reach them
  • Autocrine: Their secretion acts on themselves. Hence they are their own targets.
