protective shell in marine foraminiferans
phylum Sarcodina
Yes, foraminiferans and radiolarians belong to the subphylum sarcodines. Both have skeletons that fossilize easily and have fossil records that date back to the Cambrian.
Nummulites is certainly one of the larger foraminiferans, and species can reach over 6cm wide.
Plants, animals, fungi and algae are eukaryotes. The lobose amoebozoans and the reticulose foraminiferans are also in this group. The lobose amoebozoans can be as large as a meter but many or microscopic. The foraminiferans are mostly microscopic. The prokaryotes are unicellular and only could be identified by their growth on agar plates or in broths. It would be very difficult to make a positive identification on just that.
Amoebas and forams are protozoans with pseudopodia. i learned this last year when i was in 8th grade
There is a regular and occasionally, sexual generation in foraminiferans. However, there are also certain species that reproduce asexually. Reproduction usually terminates the parent because its cytoplasm will be devoted to the young's formation.
Any of a large group of one-celled organisms (called protists) that live in water or as parasites. Many protozoans move about by means of appendages known as cilia or flagella. Protozoans include the amoebas, flagellates, foraminiferans, and ciliates.
The gradual model of speciation holds that species originate by slight morphological changes over long time spans. For example, sedimentary rock layers ofen hold veritical sequences of fossilized shelles of foraminiferans. The sequnce reflects graduatal morphological change. (From my Biology 101 book: 'Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life').
Foraminiferans (or forams) are single-celled protists with a calcium carbonate (CaCO3) shell around their plasma membrane. ***Straight out of my biology text book
