"The cell membrane is a thin layer that surrounds and holds a cell together. This movement of water creates the problem. To understand how, consider a single-celled protist that lives in freshwater. The water inside the protist is mixed with many different chemicals. The water outside the protist contains few chemicals but few water molecules."

Why is living in freshwater a problem for single called protists?
Living in freshwater poses a challenge for single-celled protists due to the constant influx of water through osmosis, which can lead to cell swelling and potential bursting. To counteract this, many protists have developed contractile vacuoles that expel excess water, maintaining osmotic balance. Additionally, the availability of nutrients and competition with other microorganisms can further complicate their survival in such environments. Thus, while freshwater provides resources, it also requires adaptations to manage osmotic pressure effectively.

Is a protists living or nonliving?
Oh honey, a protist is definitely living. It's a single-celled organism that's out there doing its thing, living its best life. So, yeah, it's alive and kicking... well, maybe not kicking since it doesn't have legs, but you get the point.
Is stentor a fungus?
No, Stentor is not a fungus. Stentor is actually a genus of free-living, trumpet-shaped ciliates, which are single-celled protists. They are found in freshwater environments and are known for their large size and unique feeding behavior.
Is amboe non living thing?
No, AMOEBAS are living things filed under the kingdom of protists.
Is a paramecium a single cell or more then one?
A paramecium is a single-celled organism. It belongs to the group of unicellular organisms known as protozoans.
What are single celled living things in pond water called?
Single-celled living things in pond water are called protists. These microorganisms are diverse and can include algae, amoebas, and ciliates. They play important roles in the pond ecosystem as primary producers and consumers.
Are protists free living or parasitic?
Protists are free living.
