Flagellated Protozoans and Disease — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptFlagellated protozoans: The members of this group are either free-living or parasitic. They have flagella. The parasitic forms cause diseases such as sleeping sickness. Example: Trypanosoma.
Match the group with ecological role or feature: Group A. Cyanobacteria B. Slime Moulds C. Yeast D. Trypanosoma Function/Feature 1. Saprophytic nutrient recycling 2. Fermentation and unicellular fungus 3. Nitrogen fixation in heterocysts 4. Flagellated protozoan causing disease
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: B — A–3, B–1, C–2, D–4
Each group has unique structural and ecological characteristics. Cyanobacteria fix nitrogen by heterocyst. Slime moulds facilitate saprophytic nutrient recycling. Yeast is a unicellular fungus and helps in fermentation. Trypanosoma is a flagellated protozoan causing sleeping sickness.
