Where do sporozoans live?
parasitic, nonmotile protozoans, many of which reproduce by the production of spores. Sporozoans are protozoa, or protozoans, that have no organelles for transportation. A plasmodium is a protozoan. Most sporozoans are parasites.
Are all protozoans prokaryotic and autorophic?
Protozoans are eukaryote and not all are autotrophic.
Why can protozoans get by without a respiratory system?
They are in direct contact in their environment so they can diffuse nutrients right through their cell membrane very easily causing them not to need a respiratory system.
The simplest organisms are?
protozoans are the simplest organisms
What structure in protozoans respond to osmosis?
ciliates
How are protozoans differentiated by means of their locomotory organelles?
The pseudopodia enable amoeboid locomotion, the cilia allow for ciliary locomotion. The flagella allow for flagellar locomotion and the myonemes allow for metabolic contractile locomotion.
How do protozoans pump out water?
I'm not sure about other Protozoans but Paramecium, a freshwater ciliate, pumps out excess water with it's Contractile Vacuoles.
What eats an amoeba?
Amoeba are protozoans. They eat algae and other protozoans. Protozoans are eaten by zooplankton in the marine environment.
What eats Amoebas?
Amoeba are protozoans. They eat algae and other protozoans. Protozoans are eaten by zooplankton in the marine environment.
How protozoa maintain their osmotic balance?
Protozoans such as an amoeba lack a supporting cell wall and instead have a contractile vacuole that pumps out excess water that enters the cell by osmosis. This vacuole is not needed in organisms with more than one cell.
Does protozoa have organelles?
Protozoa are a large group of eukaryotic, single celledorganisms.
Where do sporozoans live?
parasitic, nonmotile protozoans, many of which reproduce by the production of spores. Sporozoans are protozoa, or protozoans, that have no organelles for transportation. A plasmodium is a protozoan. Most sporozoans are parasites.
Amoeboid movement is a method of locomotion used by which protozoans?
I - Amoeboid Locomotion - by means of pseudopodia II - Ciliary Locomotion - by means of cilia III - Flagellar Locomotion - by means of flagella IV - Metabolic or Contractile Locomotion- by means of myonemes
Are protozoans are unicellular or multicellular?
protozoans are unicellular organisms
Do protozoans have skeleton?
No Protozoans do not have skeleton. They are unicellular organisms.
What is study of protozoans known as?
The study of protozoans is part of microbiology.
How are protozoans classified In The 5 Kingdoms?
Protozoans are in the Kingdom Protista.
