Freshwater protozoans excrete ammonia and mineral salts by means of?
diffusion through the cell membrane.
How do sarcodines move?
sarcodines - a protoza that move by means of pseudopods or "false feet"
What is an amoeboid?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaForaminiferan(Ammonia tepida)Amoeboids are single-celled life-forms characterized by an irregular shape.[1]"Amoeboid" and "amœba" are often used interchangeably even by biologists,[2] and especially refer to a creature moving by using pseudopodia. Most references to "amoebas" or "amoebae" are to amoeboids in general rather than to the specific genus Amoeba. The genus Amoeba and amoeboids in general both derive their names from the ancient Greek word for change
Where do sporozoans live?
parasitic, nonmotile protozoans, many of which reproduce by the production of spores. Sporozoans are protozoa, or protozoans, that have no organelles for transportation. A plasmodium is a protozoan. Most sporozoans are parasites.
What does the genus homo mean in biology?
In Biology, homo is the genus that includes modern humans and species closely related to them.
Do protozoa have false feet?
Any organism that moves by means of pseudopodia (false feet) is called an amoeboid. Amoeboids are a branch of protozoans, but there are porotzoans that are not amoeboids. The answer to your question is that some protozoa (amoeboids) have pseudopodia (false feet), but the rest do not.
Amoeboid movement is a method of locomotion used by which protozoans?
I - Amoeboid Locomotion - by means of pseudopodia II - Ciliary Locomotion - by means of cilia III - Flagellar Locomotion - by means of flagella IV - Metabolic or Contractile Locomotion- by means of myonemes
How are protozoans differentiated by means of their locomotory organelles?
The pseudopodia enable amoeboid locomotion, the cilia allow for ciliary locomotion. The flagella allow for flagellar locomotion and the myonemes allow for metabolic contractile locomotion.
Is the amoeba a heterotroph that move?
Yes, it moves by pseudopodia. Which means false feet.
What Organs for locomotion fish?
The pseudopodia is the organ of locomotion of amoeba.The word pseudo means false and podia or pods means feet.As pseudopodia is the cytoplasmic projection which helps in locomotion of amoeba so it is also called as false feet.
What are parasitic protozoans called that live inside their hosts and may reproduce by means of a spore?
Cordyceps
Freshwater protozoans excrete ammonia and mineral salts by means of?
diffusion through the cell membrane.
Is malaria a virus bacteria or protist?
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (protists) (a type of single cell microorganism) of the Plasmodium genus. The word malaria means "bad air" as people thought that you could get it from breathing in air.
How do sarcodines move?
sarcodines - a protoza that move by means of pseudopods or "false feet"
What does motility mean?
It means that the organism does not move. Sprotozoans from the protoza kingdom usually dont move. It dosent have flagellae, or pseudopodia to move, or cilia.
What does non-motile?
It means that the organism does not move. Sprotozoans from the protoza kingdom usually dont move. It dosent have flagellae, or pseudopodia to move, or cilia.
Definition of protozoa?
Any of a large group of one-celled organisms (called protists) that live in water or as parasites. Many protozoans move about by means of appendages known as cilia or flagella. Protozoans include the amoebas, flagellates, foraminiferans, and ciliates.
