Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is in nature largely photoautotrophic (obtaining all its energy from photosynthesis). However, it can grow heterotrophically when supplied with a suitable carbon source (acetate is commonly used). This is quite an artificial situation, but allows it to be grown in laboratories in the dark, and to grow mutants which are unable to perform photosynthesis.
Chlamydomonas is a genus of green algae, which are in the Plant kingdom. Land plants evolved from green algae, but major genetic differences still exist between land plants and green algae. As such, you could classify Chlamydomonas as a plant cell. However, Chlamydomonas species do things that most plants do not, such as swim.
They are unicellular
Animal-like Protist
yes they are unicellular
It is photosynthetic due to chlorophyll .
Yes, it is.
Yes, it a single celled organism.
a single celled organism is called unicellular an example is yeast
No. No single-celled organism is anywhere near that size. It is a plant and hence it is an Eukaryote.
what is a single celled organism that can carry on all its life
In what ways, if any, does a single-celled organism differ from its parents?
No; a single-celled organism is a unicellularoraganism I believe.
The mechanism by which one small, single-celled organism could ingest a smaller single-celled organism is phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process of ingesting particles of a cell.
No, not quite. A bacterium is a single-celled organism, for sure, but not all single-celled organisms are bacteria.
A single-celled organism without an organized nucleus is a prokaryote.
A single-celled organism is said to be unicellular.
Yes, it a single celled organism.
Unicellular best describes a one celled organism.
a single celled organism is called unicellular an example is yeast
it is single celled
Bacteria is a single celled organism that lacks a nucleus, if that helps at all.
The world's largest single-celled organism is the green algae Caulerpa.
The word is bacteria. It is a single celled organism.
