Which of the following diseases is caused by plasmodium parasite?

here are the solutions to the questions:

1. Adult toads are carnivorous, meaning they feed on other animals like insects and worms.

   • C. carnivore

2. The chemical formula for common salt, sodium chloride, is NaCl.

   • A. NaCl

3. A census is a count of the population, not a factor that influences its growth. Birth rate, death rate, and migration directly affect population size.

   • C. Census

4. Insects are uniquely characterized by having three pairs (six) of jointed legs. Other features like compound eyes, wings, and antennae can be found in other arthropods.

   • B. Three pairs of jointed legs

5. Mirrors work by reflecting light, changing the direction of light rays.

   • C. reflection

6. Fertilizers, when washed into water bodies, can cause excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants, leading to water pollution.

   • B. Fertilizer

7. The atomic number of an atom is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus.

   • A. protons

8. Sand has larger particles and larger pore spaces compared to clay, loam, or silt, allowing water to pass through it most quickly.

   • B. Sand

9. An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and a non-metal.

   • C. alloy

10. Abiotic factors are non-living components of an ecosystem. Humidity is a physical environmental factor.

    • C. Humidity

11. A wind vane is an instrument used to show the direction from which the wind is blowing. An anemometer measures wind speed.

    • B. Wind vane

12. Malaria is a serious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.

    • B. Malaria

13. Chlorine is commonly added to water supplies to disinfect the water by killing harmful bacteria and other microorganisms, making it safe for domestic consumption.

    • B. chlorine

14. Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms are produced from their parents, leading to an increase in the number of living things.

    • B. reproduction

15. Green plants are producers; they create their own food through photosynthesis and do not break down dead organic matter. Bacteria, fungi, and flies (as scavengers or larvae) are involved in decomposition.

    • A. green plant

16. Water is often called the "universal solvent" because of its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances.

    • C. water

17. Iodine solution is used as an indicator to test for the presence of starch; it turns blue-black in the presence of starch.

    • D. iodine

18. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass.
