Answer;

-Pellicle

Explanation;

-Protist cells may contain a single nucleus or many nuclei; they range in size from microscopic to thousands of meters in area. Protists may have animal-like cell membranes, plant-like cell walls, or may be covered by a pellicle.

-On a paramecium's exterior is found the pellicle. The pellicle is stiff to maintain the paramecium's shape and provide stability but it is also flexible to allow movement. It also acts as an attachment site for external organelles such as cilia.

Answer:

Pellicle.  

Explanation:

Malaria is the most significant parasitic disease of human. The disease is caused by protozoan of the genus Plasmodium. The most serious malignant malaria is caused by <em>Plasmodium falciparum.</em> It is transmitted by the female Anopheles  mosquito. Plasmodium is a protist that cause malaria. Different types of species of the plasmodium are: P.vivax, P.malaria, P.ovale and P.falciparum which causes the most serious malignant called malaria.  

Protist have animal-cell like membrane and is plasmodium is the example of protist. Its contain single nuclei or many nuclei. On a paracium exterior found a pellicle. Pellicle is a layered structure which surrounds the cells in many types of protozoa and also surrounds the cytoplasm. It is the non-extracellular like the cell wall of plants.

Lena [83]

Answer:

The most probable result of the increasing concentrations of fertilizers in the prime rivers emptying into oceans is eutrophication followed by hypoxia. This will eventually result in less uptake of carbon dioxide and less release of oxygen.  

The fertilizers are among the common pollutants, which degrade the quality of water. The fertilizers comprise chemicals, which are good for plants use, however, the excess amounts used in plants get run off and pollute the water bodies.  

The fertilizers mainly comprise nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. When it rains, these nutrients get carried to the water bodies and results in algal bloom known as eutrophication. This algal bloom utilizes the oxygen in the water, leaving behind no or fewer levels of oxygen that hampers life of aquatic species.
