Answer:

  1. After it is released from the snail
  2. Excavata
  3. Sporangium

Step-by-step explanation:

Schistosoma life cycle:

1. Human excretes schistosomes eggs through feces and/or urine. These eggs eventually reach the water.

2. Once in the water, schistosomes eggs hatch and release immature larvae named miracides.

3. Miracides swim and penetrate a freshwater snail, which is an intermediary host.

4–5. Once inside the snail, miracides turn into sporocites and then into cercariae. Cercariae characterize by having a bifurcated tail. Snails release the cercariae in water, and they swim until they get in touch with a mammal. Once they reach the mammal, they penetrate the skin and get into the body. This is the stage in which the parasite becomes infectious to humans. Just a few cercariae are enough to infect a person.

6. When cercariae penetrate their host body, they lose their tails and turn into schistosomules. These new forms travel to the liver, where they end their maturation process.

7. Males and females mate in the liver and migrate to veins of the intestine or bladder. Once there, the females lay the eggs, which are then excreted by the host. And the cycle begins again.

Excavata are asymmetrical protists. The group receives its name because of the appearance of the feeding groove. Excavata is composed of many protists. One of them is Parabasalid.

Parabasalids are parasitic protists, and one of them is Trichomonas vaginalis, which is transmitted sexually.

Sporangium. This is the reproductive structure of the mushroom and the one that is usually eaten. Spores develop inside the sporangium. Its surface is covered by a protector cuticle. It can be eaten when it is closed or when it is already open. However, when open is tastier.
