Question

About “Mosquito”, Which Of The Following Statement Is Incorrect?

Option 1It can be considered as an omnivore.

The Adult female feeds on blood to supply protein for eggs.

The larva of mosquito, feeds on microorganisms.

None of the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

Malaria is caused by plasmodia—ancient, single-celled protozoans transmitted to humans by the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Plasmodia parasites have complex life cycles involving vertebrate and insect hosts (Figure 6-1). In addition to the four plasmodial species that infect humans, roughly 120 additional species infect various animals from reptiles to birds to higher apes. None of these animal parasites (except, very rarely, certain monkey strains) can be transmitted to humans, however. This degree of host specificity suggests a long association between humans and the four malaria species that infect them.

Answer 2

None of the above

• All mosquitoes breed in water. Mosquitoes go through different types of food throughout their life cycle.
• The larvae feed on microorganisms. Adult females feed on blood to provide their eggs with protein, while adults feed on plant nectar.
• Therefore, it is best to think of them as omnivores.
• Malaria is caused by Plasmodium , an ancient single-celled protozoan that is transmitted to humans through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito .
• Plasmodium has a complex life cycle involving both vertebrates and insect hosts .
• In addition to the four Plasmodium species that infect humans , about 120 other species infect animals , from reptiles to birds to great apes .
• However , none of these animal parasites (with the rare exception of some species of monkeys ) can be transmitted to humans .
• This level of host specificity suggests a long association for humans and the four types of malaria that affect humans .
