MIC 121 Protozoa Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

Which of the following statements accurately describes the cellular organization of protozoa?
Options
A Protozoa are multicellular organisms with well-developed tissues and organs for specialized functions.
B Protozoa lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, similar to bacteria.
C Protozoa are single-celled organisms that carry out all life processes within a single cell, with cytoplasm differentiated for specific functions.
Correct Answer
D Protozoa primarily reproduce through budding and exhibit a simple, undifferentiated cytoplasm.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The document states, 'Protozoa are single-celled organisms that carry out all life processes within a single cell...' and 'There is no division of the body into tissues or organs; instead, different regions of the cytoplasm or specific organelles are differentiated to perform particular functions.' This directly supports option C and refutes A and B. Budding is a form of reproduction but not the defining characteristic of their cellular organization.

Hint

Think about the level of cellular complexity and differentiation within a single protozoan cell.
