A merozoite is a cellular product of schizogony in protozoans that can either reinfect host cells to become trophozoites again or develop into male and female gametes during sexual reproduction.

Merozoite

A schizont is a cellular structure in protozoans that houses and stores the merozoites produced during schizogony.

Schizont

Schizogony is an asexual reproduction method in protozoans where a cell's nucleus undergoes multiple divisions before the cell divides into numerous smaller cells called merozoites, which are stored within structures known as schizonts.

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

Binary fission is the most common mechanism for cell division among prokaryotes. It involves the cleavage of one parent cell with duplicated components, into two daughter cells. 

Binary Fission 

Budding occurs when one end of the species forms an extension that eventually will swell and break off to form the daughter cell. It is most commonly observed in yeast.
