What else can I help you with?
What domains contains organisms that absorb photosynthesize or ingest food and includes protozoans and algae?
protista
How are protozoans spread?
Protozoans are typically spread through consumption of contaminated food or water, or by being transmitted through vectors like mosquitoes or ticks. They can also be spread through direct contact with infected individuals or through exposure to contaminated soil or feces.
Can protozoans make their own food?
Yes, protozoa can make it's own food. It contains chlorophyll which plants also use to produce food using sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Compare and contrast algae with protozoans giving specific details about each?
Algae are photosynthetic, plant-like organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis. Protozoans are single-celled, animal-like organisms that feed on organic matter through engulfment or absorption. Algae have cell walls made of cellulose, while protozoans have a flexible outer membrane. Both algae and protozoans play important roles in various ecosystems as primary producers and consumers, respectively.
What structure enables a protozoan to get food into its mouth?
In protozoans, the structure that enables them to take in food is called the cytostome, or "cell mouth." This specialized structure allows the organism to engulf food particles through a process known as phagocytosis. In some protozoans, cilia or flagella may help create water currents to direct food toward the cytostome. Once the food is ingested, it is enclosed in a food vacuole for digestion.
What domains contains organisms that absorb photosynthesize or ingest food and includes protozoans and algae?
protista
What do cells ingest food through?
Through the vacuole
What is food ingestion?
it is where you digest the food you ingest through your digestive system the nutrients from the food.
What are all protozoans because they take in food?
All protozoans are considered heterotrophic, meaning they need to take in food. They can do this through different methods, such as phagocytosis, absorbing nutrients through their cell membrane, or feeding on other organisms.
The fingerlike projections of cytoplasm used by some protozoans for movement and obtaining food are?
The fingerlike projections of cytoplasm used by some protozoans for movement and obtaining food are called pseudopodia. These structures help protozoans to extend their reach and capture food particles in their environment through a process known as phagocytosis.
How are protozoans spread?
Protozoans are typically spread through consumption of contaminated food or water, or by being transmitted through vectors like mosquitoes or ticks. They can also be spread through direct contact with infected individuals or through exposure to contaminated soil or feces.
How do cells ingest dissolved food?
The dissolved food passes through the cell membrane -markayla c williams
Do fungi ingest food as part of their nutritional intake process?
No, fungi do not ingest food like animals do. Instead, they absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their cell walls. This process is known as external digestion.
How do angora rabbits get their food?
Angora rabbits get their food in the same way as other rabbit breeds. Generally, Angoras are not wild, so they are usually given food and they ingest it through their mouths. In the unusual case that an Angora was wild, it would forage for grass, leaves, or other greenery and ingest the food through its mouth.
How does protozoans get food?
they get some food in the organisms known as hosts
Can protozoans make their own food?
Yes, protozoa can make it's own food. It contains chlorophyll which plants also use to produce food using sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Do all animals ingest food through a mouth?
No. There are multi-cellular animals, such as sponges, that don't have mouths but still take in food.
