All life has a means of maintaining homeostasis, or a balance in which life is best. Single-celled organisms have adaptations that can control the intake of water through osmosis.

is a single celled organism found in fresh water?
One of the one-celled organism is parasites.
Where can you find protozoa?
Protists are single celled organisms. They include water borne contamination. Protists are, eukariotic, single celled organisms. Paramecium, amoeba are protists
What are protozoans?
Protozoans are unicellular, single celled micro organisms. Usually by themselves, but they sometimes form colonies. These organism get their food from their surroundings, and tend to live in a marine environment or fresh water. The official definition of the word protozoans is "a single-celled microscopic animal of a group of phyla of the kingdom Protista, such as an ameba, flagellate, ciliate, or sporozoan."
What are amoeba characteristics?
amoeba are a single celled life form, a single celled organism and measured to be around 0.25 mm!
What is aomeba?
An amoeba is a generally microscopic type of protozoa, a single-celled organism. There are a variety of types, and their feeding habits vary. For instance, there are parasitic amoeba such as the "brain-eating amoeba" (Naegleria fowleri), as well as those that eat algae, plant cells and other protozoa.According to the Enchanted Learning website, they live in a variety of environments: fresh water, especially puddles and ponds; salt water, wet soil and in animals.

What is it when fresh water moves into a single celled organism?
endocytosis
What happens if a single celled organism is transferred from a tank of fresh water to a tank of salt water?
It will swell and burst
What would happen if a single celled organism was transferred from a fresh tank of water to a tank of salt water?
it would shrink
What would happen if a fresh water organism was put in salt water?
It would expand and then explode. sorry Explode :P
What unicellular organism has plant and animal characters?
Euglena A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of only one cell. Euglena are single-celled organisms which have the features of both a plant and an animal. Euglena is a very unusual organism, as it photosynthesizes yet it can also move about. Species of Euglena are found in fresh and salt waters. Euglena contains 59 nutrients, and it provides nearly all the nutrients needed to sustain human life.
What is freshwater organisms?
A freshwater organism is any celled living creature that can only survive in fresh(non-salted) water.
What is one one celled organism?
A diatom. It is a plant that lives in fresh water and salt water.
What kind of producers live in the ocean?
seaweed,phytoplankton, diatoms,Crill, algea, Seagrass , dinoflagellates (a single-celled organism with two flagella, occurring in large numbers in marine plankton and also found in fresh water), coccolithophores (a single-celled marine flagellate that secretes a calcareous shell, forming an important constituent of the phytoplankton. )
What is a giardia cell?
its a single celled retro virus that's found in fresh water where the bacteria can thrive
What type organism of protozoa?
Protozoa are single celled organisms. They come in many different shapes and sizes ranging from an Amoeba which can change its shape to Paramecium with its fixed shape and complex structure. They live in a wide variety of moist habitats including fresh water, marine environments and the soil.
Can both single-celled and multicellular organisms reproduce asexually?
Sure they can. I'm sure you can think of lots of examples for asexual reproduction in single celled organisms (like an amoeboid, for instance.) The first example of a multicellular organism that comes to mind is the hydra, a small fresh water animal that reproduces through binary fission. There are lots of "types" of asexual reproduction, such as binary fission, budding, fragmentation, and through spores that multi-cellular creatures can go through.
