group of organisms, and all of its descendants.

QUESTION 2 [16]
2.1 Define the concepts “encystment” and “excystment” and explain why the phenomena
have advantages for protozoa.
QUESTION 2 (16)
2.1 Encystment is a process of cyst formation. Dormant forms marked by resistant
external cover and a complete shutdown of metabolic machinery. This process of
escape from a cyst, a stage in the life cycle of parasites occurring after the cystic form
has been ingested by the host organism. Cyst formation is important to parasitic forms
that that must survive a harsh environment between hosts. Such harsh conditions
include food deficiency, desiccation, increased environmental osmotic pressure,
decrease oxygen concentration, and a change in pH or temperature. Encystment in the
protozoan is enclosed in or as if in a cyst, thick membrane, or shell. Excystment is the
escape from cysts, a return of favourable conditions initiates excystment for those
protozoa in which the cysts are resistant stage.
2.2 Give a detailed description of the different kinds of pseudopodia encountered in
protozoa.
