Do paramecium need sun light?
No, paramecium do not require sunlight for photosynthesis like plants do. They are unicellular organisms that primarily feed on bacteria and other microorganisms in their environment for energy.
How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwatee amoeba respond is the organism was placed in seawater?
If a freshwater amoeba is placed in seawater, the contractile vacuole would likely decrease its activity or stop functioning altogether. This is because seawater is hypertonic compared to the amoeba's internal environment, leading to water loss from the cell. As a result, the amoeba would not need to expel excess water, and the contractile vacuole's role in osmoregulation would become less critical. Ultimately, the organism may struggle to survive in the saline environment.
Why is that a Paramecium sp. which lives in the ocean does not possess a contractile vacuole where as a similar Paramecium sp. which lives in fresh water must have such a cytoplasm organelle?
Freshwater Paramecium must have a contractile vacuole to regulate water intake and prevent cell lysis due to the hypotonic environment. In contrast, ocean-dwelling Paramecium face an isotonic environment that does not require active regulation of water intake or expulsion, therefore they do not need a contractile vacuole.
Does an amoeba need to be fertilized to reproduce?
No, an amoeba doesn't need fertilization to reproduce. An amoeba reproduces asexually.
Why does paramecium need oxygen?
Paramecium needs oxygen for cellular respiration to produce energy. This energy is essential for carrying out various metabolic processes that help the paramecium survive and carry out its functions, such as movement and reproduction. Without oxygen, the paramecium would not be able to generate enough energy to sustain its biological activities.
Examples of protists with their scientific names?
This is a statement and not a question. It is also homework that you need to do. Get the science book open and do it.
Do paramecium need sun light?
No, paramecium do not require sunlight for photosynthesis like plants do. They are unicellular organisms that primarily feed on bacteria and other microorganisms in their environment for energy.
What example of competition between individuals within population and of competitions?
2 species of paramecium need to compete for their own resources!
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.
If a paramecium were to swim from a hypotonic environment to an isotonic one would the activity of its contractile vacuole increase or decrease?
The activity of the contractile vacoule would decrease. While in the hypotonic solution, water was moving into the paramecium because it had a higher solute concentration that the solution that it was in and water follows solute. So, the isotonic solution would contain the same solute concentration as the paramecium so there would be no net water movement. Therefore, the contractile vacoule would decrease in its activity because there would be no water entering or exiting the paramecium.
How amoeba die?
Amoeba can die if they lack oxygen. They need it.
How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwatee amoeba respond is the organism was placed in seawater?

As a result, the amoeba would not need to expel excess water, and the contractile vacuole's role in osmoregulation would become less critical. Ultimately, the organism may struggle to survive in the saline environment.
Does Amoeba need or produce oxygen?
Amoebas do not require oxygen for survival as they are able to perform anaerobic respiration. However, they can still utilize oxygen if it is available in their environment.
Why is that a Paramecium sp. which lives in the ocean does not possess a contractile vacuole where as a similar Paramecium sp. which lives in fresh water must have such a cytoplasm organelle?
Freshwater Paramecium must have a contractile vacuole to regulate water intake and prevent cell lysis due to the hypotonic environment. In contrast, ocean-dwelling Paramecium face an isotonic environment that does not require active regulation of water intake or expulsion, therefore they do not need a contractile vacuole.
How does a paramecium get oxygen?
they don't need oxygen
Is it true or false that resources are things that people get from the environment?

Which action is an example of balancing a need for natural resources with a need to protect the environment?
Implementing sustainable logging practices that ensure the regeneration of forests and protect biodiversity is an example of balancing the need for natural resources with the need to protect the environment.
