What is the nature of haemozoin? |
Haemozoin is a precursor of haemoglobin. Haemozoin act as a toxin released from Wuchereria infected cells Haemozoin is a toxin released from Plasmodium infected cells. Haemozoin is a toxin released from Trichophyton infected cells. |
Haemozoin is a toxin released from Plasmodium infected cells. |
Explanation: The correct answer is (c) haemozoin is a toxin released from Plasmodium infected cells. It is a brown, insoluble pigment that is formed when the malaria parasite breaks down hemoglobin. It is released from the infected red blood cells and is involved in the pathogenesis of malaria. Haemozoin is not a precursor of haemoglobin nor is it released from Streptococcus or Haemophilus infected cells. The other answer choices are incorrect. Haemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. It is not a toxin.Wuchereria,Trichophyton and other can release toxins, but haemozoin is not a toxin released from these bacteria.
