often called the “master gland” because it produces the hormones that stimulate the function of other endocrine
glands. It’s located at the base of the brain on the hypothalamus and is divided into two lobes—<u>anterior lobe and

Answer:
The gametophyte is green and nutritionally independent in mosses, liverworts, and fern.
Explanation:
The gametophyte is the sexual stage of growth in plants and algae.
During this stage, there is production of reproductive organs which produce sex cells.
During this stage, the gametophyte is independent since it relies fully on itself for food production.
The presence of chlorophyll enables this independence.
The gametophyte produces its own food through photosynthesis.

<h3>A virus or a bacteria causes malaria?</h3>
- A virus or bacteria cannot cause malaria.
- Plasmodium, a parasite that often spreads through infected mosquitoes, is what causes malaria.
- A mosquito consumes Plasmodia that are present in blood when it feeds on an infected human.
<h3>How do protozoa cause malaria?</h3>
- The female anopheles mosquito bite is the primary method of transmission of malaria, a protozoan infection of the red blood cells.
- The Plasmodium genus of protozoa is what causes malaria.
- Four different types of malaria parasites can infect people: Plasmodium malariae, vivax, ovale, and falciparum

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, most of that three percent is inaccessible. Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps. The use for the water in the world is for household drinking water. The ocean stores about 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is stored in glaciers and ice, below the ground, in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 332 million cubic miles of water, about 97 percent is stored in the ocean.
Hope this helps!
