What causes pellicle formation on a broth?

It is caused by the bacteria dying, because it ran out of oxygen. The bacteria that formed a pellicle would be considered a oligate aerobe or strict aerobe, because it can only survive in the presence of oxygen.


If an organism grows in the OF-glucose medium that is exposed to air is the organism osidative or fermentaive?

If the organism grows in the OF-glucose medium exposed to air, it is likely undergoing oxidative metabolism. This is because air contains oxygen, which the organism can use through oxidative phosphorylation to generate energy. If the organism were fermentative, it would generate energy through fermentation pathways even in the presence of oxygen.


What is more complex organism or organ system?

An organ system is more complex than an organism. An organism is a single living being made up of various organ systems working together to maintain life. Organ systems consist of multiple organs and tissues that have specialized functions and work together to support the overall function of the organism.


An organism with dna could be alive because it has which sign of life?

An organism with DNA could be alive because it exhibits the fundamental sign of life: the ability to replicate and pass on genetic information to subsequent generations. This process allows for the adaptation and evolution of the organism over time.


Why are kids bones more flexible?

Children are more flexible in general because compared to developed adults they are still growing and attaining calcium as well as other vitamins that help harden bones and make them inflexible.

What is the General Body Shape for the euglena?

The general body shape of a euglena is elongated and spindle-like, with a flexible outer membrane called a pellicle that allows the organism to change its shape. Euglenas are unicellular organisms that can be either elongated or slightly flattened, depending on the species and environmental conditions.


Are Euglenas are multicellular organisms?

Yes because they are protoctists.


What is the shape of the euglenoids?

they keep their shape because of pellicle


Why cant the paramecium change shape like the ameba?

Paramecium have a rigid outer covering called a pellicle that limits their ability to change shape. Amebas, on the other hand, have a more flexible cell membrane that allows them to change shape easily in order to move and feed.

Is a euglena a consumer?

Euglenas are herbivores. Euglenas rely on algae as their food source. Many Euglenas appear green when you look at it with a microscope. That is because Euglenas have clear skin, and the insides of an Euglena is green, because they eat green algae.


What is the structure of a euglena?

The Euglena do not have a cell wall. What they have instead is a pellicle. The pellicle is what allows the shape to change.


Why cant the paramecium changes shape like the ameba?

because it has a thick outer membrane called the pellicle


What holds the paramecium together and why is it important?

The paramecium is held together by a rigid outer covering called the pellicle, which is composed of protein and other substances. This structure provides shape, protection, and support while allowing flexibility for movement. The pellicle is important because it helps maintain the integrity of the cell in various environments and facilitates the organism's ability to move and interact with its surroundings. Additionally, it plays a role in osmoregulation, preventing the cell from bursting in hypotonic conditions.


Why can't paramecium change shape like the ameba?

They can't change shape because of the thick outer membrane called the pellicle.


Why do some organisms form a pellicle on liquid media?

The evolutionary advantage that would be there to the formation of a pellicle in a liquid medium by a bacterium is they could form colonies and have a greater chance of survival. Two ways to determine motility of a bacteria is using a agar deep or the hanging drop technique.


Is paper flexible or elastic?

Paper is flexible because you can bend it. That is how I know instead of going on the internet.
