Answer:
Type of metabolism in the plasmodium parasite that causes Malaria: Hemoglobin metabolism
- Hemoglobin metabolism in Plasmodium falciparum (malaria parasite) occurs in the digestive vacuole. Heme is utilized in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is therefore an essential molecule for the growth of parasite and sexual replication during the intraerythrocytic stage.
- The parasites also possess heme de novo biosynthetic pathway. The food vacuole of the parasite contains protease enzymes that are involved in the degradation of hemoglobin.
- Hemoglobin biosynthesis pathway is an important and potential target for the development of effective antimalarial drugs.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. 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...
