Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s).Malaria is a disease caused by parasitic protists in the genus Plasmodium. The parasite is transmitted to humans by female Anopheles mosquitoes. The Plasmodium parasite feeds on human red blood cells, eventually destroying them. Humans infected with malaria can exhibit many symptoms. Depending on the severity of the infection, these can range from fever, chills, sweating, and headaches to anemia and kidney failure. Ultimately, malaria can result in death. However, if time and money permit, once a person is infected, they can be treated with different antimalarial drugs. Two commonly used drugs are artemisinin and quinine. In addition, one way to prevent the spread of malaria is to apply pesticides to treat areas with Anopheles mosquitoes. The National Malaria Eradication Program began work in 1947 with the goal of eliminating malaria from the southern United States. In 1947, 15,000 cases of malaria were reported nationwide. By 1950, only 2,000 cases were reported, and by 1951, malaria was considered eradicated from the United States. Today, the disease is most common in Africa and South America, two continents that are highly impoverished. About one million people die from malaria every year, many of them children. In Africa, it is estimated that one in every five childhood deaths is due to malaria.Plasmodium illustrate feeding characteristics of a(n) ________.

Several studies involving molecular analyses of Comb jellies, also known as sea gooseberries, cast doubt on the theory that sponges are the oldest animal phylum. Reported results of the studies suggested that Comb jellies, more complex animals having muscles and a nervous system, may actually be the true, first phylum of animals that diverged from a metazoan common ancestor. However, in 2015, a team of scientists re-analyzed the genetic data in the Comb jellies research with more specialized methods, and they determined that sponges were indeed the oldest animal phylum. If Comb jellies were actually found to be the oldest animal phylum, how would this information impact our current understanding of the evolution of organisms?
