When environmental conditions do not favor protozoan growth, a method of survival includes encystment to create a durable cell with a protective cell wall. the production of trophozoites from cysts. rapid multiplication and killing of the host. the shedding of the plasmalemma. an increase in overall metabolic activity.

Growth at cellular level, is pirncipally a consequence of increase in the amount of (a). protoplasm (b). DNA (c). cell wall (d). cell organelles.
Example 7: An otherwise typical bacterial cell increases from one cell to 256 cells in 10 hours. What is the generation time of this organism?

When two species of paramecium, $P$ caudatum and $P$ . aurelia, are grown in separate culture dishes, each population grows rapidly and then levels off at the carrying capacity for its environment. When they are combined in one culture dish, P. aurelia survives, but $P$ . caudatum does not. This is most likely because (A) $P$ . caudatum suffers a mutation that prevents its survival (B) $P$ . caudatum was attacked by a pathogenic virus or bacteria (C) $P$ . aurelia must have evolved into a superior organism (D) The two populations are competing with each other, and $P$ . aurelia can outcompete $P$ . caudatum (E) $P .$ aurelia is a predator, and $P$ . caudatum is its prey
