Answer:

Trypanosoma brucei

Explanation:

T. brucei is a unicellular eukaryotic parasite that causes sleeping sickness. This organism has an elongated body, central nucleus, only an elongated mitochondria housing the kinetoplast, where the mitochondrial DNA is located; It has a scourge that gives it motility. Its undulating cell membrane, as a result of flagellar movements, is covered with glycoproteins that elicit little immune reaction, allowing this parasite to go unnoticed.

This organism infects the host by evading the host's immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation.

sergejj [24]
D. Plants have adapted to deal with the sun in many different ways, and this is one. The stomata are regulated by guard cells, which are activated by different things depending on the species of plant, and guard cells are supposed to keep the stomata from staying open all the time and losing too much water to evaporation. So, the solution is to have the stomata on the bottom of the leaf to prevent direct sunlight contact (and therefore more evaporation), and guard cells to protect the stomata.
