Final answer:

The sections of a septate gregarine would include the compartments separated by septa. In fungi, septa are endwalls that divide hyphae, with perforations for molecule flow. In bacteria, septation is part of the cell division process leading to daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sections of a septate gregarine refer to the partitioned areas within the body of a gregarine, which is a type of protozoan parasite. Although the original question specifies 'gregarine,' the provided references seem to be more related to fungal and bacterial cell division.

Both fungal hyphae and bacterial cells can be septate, meaning they have a septum or a division between cells. In fungi, septate hyphae are hyphae that are divided into separate cells by endwalls called septa.

These septa often have tiny holes, which allow for the rapid flow of nutrients and small molecules from cell to cell, known as perforated septa. Conversely, coenocytic hyphae, such as those found in bread molds, do not have septa and are multinucleate. In bacteria, the septum functions in cell division, with the completion of the septum leading to the pinching of the cell into two daughter cells, as seen in gram-positive bacteria.
