Answer: Protozoa contaminate the water supply.

Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria.

Protozoa have an important role in the food chain.

Protozoa are parasitic or free living single celled eukaryotic organisms. They are mostly found in water bodies.

Protozoa contaminate the water supply: Some of the protozoan species which are released from the human feces usually contaminate thee water, and causes waterborne infections in humans. Examples are Cryptosporium and Giardia. The infection occurs through drinking water or swallowing water from swimming pool.

Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria: The Plasmodium is the genus belonging to the protozoan parasites. This malarial parasite is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes to humans. The parasite multiply in the red blood cells causes symptoms like fever, anemia, flue, illness and may also cause coma and death.

Protozoa have an important role in the food chain: The protozoa species plays many roles in the food chain, they act as consumers, predators or prey, herbivores and decomposers. Their main function is to control the population of other species in the same habitat. They engulf small single celled bacteria, hence prevents excessive bacterial colonization act as predator. They also feed upon the algal species therefore, act as herbivores. They act as decomposers, as they feed upon the organic matter present in the bottom of the aquatic water body. They are the source of food for large worm and insect species.

A large area undergoes the same amount of metamorphism. All rock reach the same metamorphism grade. However, after the metamorph
Mrrafil [7]

The only explanation in this situation is that the parent rocks of the marble and slate were different. This indicates that the region once held both shale and limestone before metamorphism.

In reference to rocks, it denotes those that have undergone metamorphism—rocks that may have started as sedimentary, igneous, or another type of metamorphic rock but has since undergone "recrystallization" and taken on an entirely new form—under new temperature and pressure conditions.

For instance, when limestone is heated and compressed, it changes into marble, a more coarsely crystalline and occasionally banded rock.

When shale, a clay-rich, soft rock, is compressed, slate, a tougher rock, is created.

The alterations are frequently even more remarkable, resulting in the formation of new minerals, including garnet, mica, and tourmaline (as seen in schist).
