What else can I help you with?
Are amoebae bacteria?
No, Amoebae is not bacteria.
What is a sentence with the word amoebae?
Some amoebae can cause serious illness if they get into the human body.
How can you use the word amoebae in a sentence?
I can positively identify sixteen types of amoebae on this specimen plate.
Can amoebae cause Pneumonia?
Yes
What is a major problem of amoebae living in fresh water?
A major problem for amoebae living in fresh water is the risk of osmotic pressure imbalance. Freshwater environments have lower solute concentrations than the amoebae's internal fluids, leading to water influx into their cells. This can cause the amoebae to swell and potentially burst if they cannot effectively expel the excess water. To counteract this, amoebae often rely on contractile vacuoles to regulate osmotic pressure and maintain cellular integrity.
Is Amoebae a virus or bacteria?
neither. its a protist
Are amobea autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Amoebae are heterotrophic.
Why is a contractile vacuole essential to the survival of the amoebae and the paramecium?
A contractile vacuole helps amoebae and paramecium regulate the water content within their cells by periodically expelling excess water to prevent them from bursting due to osmotic pressure. Without a contractile vacuole, these organisms would be vulnerable to cellular damage from fluctuations in hydration levels and could potentially die from osmotic stress.
Do certain ameba divides every 10 minues What fraction of all the ambas produced in a half-hour are present after 10 minutes?
0
What is the name of a animal like protist?
Amoebae and Paramecia
Why would you expect an animal that lives in freshwater to have a well-developed excretory system?
They are most prominent in freshwater amoebae as marine amoebae are closer to isotonicity with seawater than freshwater.
Why do amoebae and paramecia require contractile vacuoles?
Amoebae and paramecia require contractile vacuoles for osmoregulation. This is a process which gives these organisms that live in fresh water ability to regulate water balance.
