Question

Match the columns and choose the right option

	I		II
(a)	Amoeba	(i)	Has flagella for locomotion
(b)	Paramoecium	(ii)	Moves with help of cilia
(c)	Trypanosoma	(iii)	Puts out pseudopodia for locomotion

• A. a-iii, b-i, c-ii
• B. a-iii, b-ii, c-i
• C. a-ii, b-i, c-iii
• D. a-ii, b-iii, c-i
• E. a-i, b-ii, c-iii

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

a-iii, b-ii, c-i

• Amoebae move using pseudopodia (which translates to "false feet "). These short-lived outward projections of the cytoplasm help amoebae to grip a surface and propel themselves forward.
• The cilia are projections of the cell surface and are covered with membranes that are continuous with the rest of the cell surface membrane. Cilia have important functions in the life of Paramecium, such as locomotion.
• Trypanosoma brucei is a parasitic protozoan that causes African sleeping sickness. It contains a flagellum required for locomotion and viability. Hence, a-iii, b-ii, c-i is the correct match.
