How does a peranema get there food?
Peranema surround there food like euglena
How does a peranema move?
it uses its flagellum
How do flagelles eat?
They eat food that is already partially digested and their Peranema ingests it.
What is true of flagellates?
Flagellates are single-celled protists. There are two main groups. The Peranema belong to the group that ingests it's food (microscopic particles). The other group (Dinoflagellates) are similar to bacteria, and include algae. They don't eat whole food, but take in food that is already partly digested, and are important photosynthesisers in lakes and oceans. The flagella (whip-like apendages) are used for locomotion.
Describe locomotion of paranema?
Peranema Patterson and Larsen, 1991 Paranema is a colorless phagotrophic euglenid, which does not readily swim, but glides along the grounds. It appears to have only a single, very broad emergent flagellum. (1) Paranema (also called Pseudoparanema) is a phagotroph and can manipulate other protists and detritus into the cell by means of two ingestion rods(3) The phase contrast photograph is supported with sketching to show more details in the cell ans will be provided on demand to dsdabhade@rediffmail.com.The locomotion in this organism is gliding as it is in Amoeba proteous on the contrary it bears flagella which is also used during glinding movements. There are various stages of contraction and extension of the body.1.During normal locomotion, the basal part remains fairly stiff, with only the anterior portion showing much activity. the flagella is thrown in the direction where the in which the animal has to move.2. the vacuoles inside the protoplasm follow the way in which the flagella is thrown.3. thus, the cell shows movements of the vacuoles as the bowl passes in the alimentary canal through peristalsis. You can imagine?4. the complete cell body then is withdrawn and pulled towards the flagella.The distance covered through this single movement is equals to the total length of the Paranema when extended.
How do flagellates eat and what do they eat?
Flagellates get their food in different ways. Some create waves that can help bring food to the cell while other flagellates possess a cytosome or mouth where food can be ingested. Others are able to make their own food.
