Are all protozoans prokaryotic and autorophic?

No, not all protozoans are prokaryotic and autotrophic. Protozoans are eukaryotic organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic protozoans can photosynthesize like plants, while heterotrophic protozoans rely on organic matter for nutrition.


What is a large cavity or sac that is found in plant cells or protozoans and that contains air or partially digestested food called?

That structure is called a vacuole, which serves various functions such as storage, waste disposal, and maintaining cell structure in plant cells and some protozoans. In plant cells, the central vacuole can also aid in maintaining turgor pressure.


What are 2 examples of osmosis?

Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.


Can osmosis occur in boiled cells?

No, osmosis cannot occur in boiled cells because boiling denatures the cell membrane and destroys its structure, preventing the movement of water molecules across the membrane. Osmosis requires an intact cell membrane to regulate the movement of water in and out of the cell.


What does osmosis have to do with cell walls?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane, like a cell wall. Cell walls in plant cells are semi-permeable, allowing water to move in and out of the cell through osmosis to help maintain the cell's turgor pressure and overall structure.

How are protozoans classified In The 5 Kingdoms?

Protozoans are classified in the Kingdom Protista within the five-kingdom system. This kingdom includes mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms. Protozoans are diverse in terms of their morphology, behavior, and habitat, and they are primarily defined by their single-celled structure and lack of specialized tissues.
