Question: The protist that causes malaria evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor (a common ancestor shared with dinoflagellates, which are still photosynthetic). The malaria protist no longer uses its remnant chloroplast for photosynthesis, but instead uses it to synthesize fatty acids and other metabolites that are necessary for these parasites to enter host cells. Explain why targeting this organelle in malaria might yield an anti-malarial medicine that would have minimal effects on humans.explain why anti-protist medicines have traditionally had much more significant side-effects on humans than antibiotics that target bacteria.
