what is the difference between trophozoite and sporozoite?
Answers
Explanation:
The trophozoite develops into a schizont which is a mother cell which asexually produces daughter cells known as merozoites. ... Sporozoites are formed by sporogony, a type of sexual or asexual reproduction by multiple fission of a spore or zygote, characteristic of many sporozoans.
Differences between trophozoite and sporozoite is as follows:
• Trophozoites are an activated feeding stage in the life cycle of Malaria causing Plasmodium falciparum.
• Sporozoites are infected host cells that are developed in the salivary glands of the mosquitoes.
• Trophozoites are evolved into merozoites that are divided into daughter cells called merozoites.
• Sporozoites are comprised of sporogony. Sporogony is a type of sexual or asexual reproduction.
