Multicellular organisms with hard exoskeletons segmented bodies and four pairs of jointed legs in the adult stage are

The fever and chills associated with malaria are due to the release of uninucleate daughter cells of Plasmodium called (merozoites/ schizonts/ coencytes).

The vegetative stage of a protozoan is called a (cyst/ merozoite/ trophozoite).

The (fungi/ algae/ lichens) are so sensitive to pollutants they are used as indicators of environmental conditions.

Protozoa that move and feed by the use of fine threadlike pseudopodia are called (rhizaria/ amoebozoa/ apicomplexa).

The (dinoflagellates/ radiolarian) are protozoa that produce cell walls composed of silica.

The asexual reproductive spores produced at the tips of hyphae and are not enclosed in a sac are (conidiospores/ ascospores/ sporangiospores)

Fungi and insects both use the nitrogenous polysaccharide (cellulose/ chitin/ silica) as a protective molecule in their outer surfaces.

Water molds differ from true fungi in having (diploid/ haploid) bodies.
