Are protozoans alive?
Yes,they are living organisms belong to Animal-like protists.Protozoa include Amoebae,Paramecium etc
What is an example of eukaryotic microorganism?
The protists amoebae and paramecium are both eukaryote microorganisms. Especially in the sense that you need a light microscope to see them.
What are some unicellular organisms?
Paramecium bursaria Toxoplasma gondii Crenarchaeota Korarchaeota Testate amoebae Escherichia coli Jonquetella Thermus aquaticus Leptomyxida
Why would you expect a freshwater amoeba to be more likely to ha contractile vacuoles than marine amoeba would?
Marine amoebae live in a saltwater environment. If the vacuoles take in too much salt, it'll suck all the liquidy stuff out of the amoeba itself. Freshwater amoebae are in a freshwater environment so they don't have to worry about that.
What organelles are found in an amoeba?
Pseudopod, Vacuole, nucleus, membrane, Ectoplasm, Endoplasm, Cytoplasm
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.
Where does ameba and paramecium live?
These are fresh water protists. Lakes, streams and ponds would harbor paramecium and amoebae.
What is a contractile vaculoe?
An organelle of single celled organisms tasked with excreting the water that has osmotically entered the cell. Amoebae are an example of organisms that have contractile vacuoles.
What is the survival of the amoebae and parameicum?
it is a animal like protists

How does an amoebae take in food?
its false feet (pseudopods) encircles the food and the membrane in contact dissolves to form a food vacuole. then the food is ejested through the contractile vacuole.
What type of organisms have cells with very large vacuoles?
A contractile vacuole is a type of vacuole involved in osmoregulation. It pumps excess water out of a cell and is found prominently in freshwater protists. In a Paramecium, a common freshwater protist, the vacuole is surrounded by several canals, which absorb water by osmosis from the cytoplasm. After the canals fill with water, the water is pumped into the vacuole. When the vacuole is full, it expels the water through a pore in the cytoplasm which can be opened and closed. This pore has, in some forms of paramecium, disappeared entirely when in use, leading to the idea of a "second cell" in paramecium. Other protists, such as Amoeba, have contractile vacuoles that move to the surface of the cell when full and undergo exocytosis. The contractile vacuole basically stores the extra water, in cells (mostly ciliates) in itself, so if there's a change in environment, a drought for example, the contractile vacuole can release more water into the cell. But if there's a flood, this vacuole will suck a lot of excess water out.
Are amoebae bacteria?
No, Amoebae is not bacteria.
Why would you expect a freshwater amoeba to be more likely to ha contractile vacuoles than marine amoeba would?
Marine amoebae live in a saltwater environment. If the vacuoles take in too much salt, it'll suck all the liquidy stuff out of the amoeba itself. Freshwater amoebae are in a freshwater environment so they don't have to worry about that.
Why amoeba and paramecium don't have proper organ system?
Because paramecia and amoebae are single-celled animals, and in order to have organs you need to be multicellular (organs are made of cells). They have to make do with organelles, like the nucleus and mitochondria.
