Protists

Paramecium use processes known as endocytosis and exocytosis for their food digestion. When they encounter something that they know they can digest they quickly intake the food during their endocytosis process. The food once consumed enters a food vacuole that is used for direct digestion. Exocytosis is the process that is then used to dispose of any waste from the food not used by the paramecium.

Spirogyra is a green alga. It is currently under controversy when this alga belongs with other algae or with the plants it is so much closer to. Modern classification systems may place green algae under the kingdom Protista, Plantae, fragment Protista into dozens of smaller and more specific kingdoms, or simply note indecision. Classification systems are far from perfect and continue to develop, and controversies on the level of kingdoms take much longer to come to a consensus on.

A compound light microscope would be the easiest microscope to use for viewing cell surface membranes. With its simple design and magnification capabilities, it allows for clear visualization of cell structures, including cell membranes.

One-celled protists typically reproduce asexually through methods such as binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells, or through budding, where a smaller cell forms and eventually detaches from the parent cell.

Paramecium typically have cilia (little tentacle things) all over their body to help them move. They are more of an oval shape than a blob like amoebas. They use the cilia to move and sweep up their food. They are typically found in fresh water so make sure you are viewing freshwater. Usually when you look at them, you see little tiny speckles inside of them.

Note: The cilia are usually hard to see. They may just look like a colored, thicker ring around the outside.

No, grass is not a protist. Grass is a flowering plant belonging to the plant kingdom. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are not classified as plants, animals, or fungi.

Yes, some amoebas have symbiotic relationships with bacteria that live inside them and help with tasks like digestion. Other amoebas may form symbiotic relationships with algae, providing a protective environment for the algae while benefiting from the sugars and oxygen they produce.

Mosquitoes primarily feed on nectar from flowers. Both males and females will feed in this manner, sucking the nectar through a proboscis, much the same as a butterfly does. However, the female is also capable of drinking blood, an act called haematophagy. Females do not require blood to survive, but they need supplements, such as protein and iron, to enable them to develop and lay their eggs. Only the females drink blood because ( as said before) females need the supplements from our blood to lay their eggs. Also, the females are designed for drinking blood. So if you see a mosquito and it flies away from you , you will know it is a male.

An amoeba ingests large food particles by a process called phagocytosis. During phagocytosis, the amoeba uses pseudopods to surround the food particle and form a food vacuole, which contains the ingested material. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food.

1.)most unicellular

2.)some are multicellular

3.)some are multicellular (algoe)

4.)can be heterotrophic or outorophic

5.)most are in water (though some live in moist soil or even the human body

6.)All are eukaryotic (have nucleus)

Fungus and protists help us in many ways. Fungus and protists are used in food to make it tasty. Example of a fungus used in food is yeast (makes your bread rise). Medicine for example Penicillin comes from a mold of Penicillium. They affect our ecosystems and are used for industrial purposes.

An amoeba is a type of single-celled organism belonging to the phylum Amoebozoa. It is classified as a protist, specifically a unicellular eukaryote.

• a parasitic relationship is when one organism benefits whilst the other is forced to suffer
• mutualistic relationship is where both organisms receive something beneficial out of the relationship

A protist that acts like an animal is called a protozoan. Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotic organisms that exhibit animal-like behaviors such as hunting, moving, and consuming prey.

Brown algae, specifically species like kelp, are commonly used in Asian cuisines. They can be found in various food products such as sushi, seaweed salad, miso soup, and some types of noodles. Brown algae are also used to make various condiments like nori seasoning and dashi broth.

Planktonic algae populations typically peak in warmer months when sunlight and nutrients are abundant, promoting their growth. In temperate regions, this peak often occurs in the spring and summer.

In protists, the processes involved in the transport of materials include diffusion, active transport, phagocytosis, and pinocytosis. Diffusion allows small molecules to passively move across the cell membrane, while active transport uses energy to move materials against a concentration gradient. Phagocytosis involves the engulfment of solid particles by the cell, while pinocytosis facilitates the uptake of fluids and dissolved molecules.

Rattlesnakes typically move at speeds of about 2-3 miles per hour. They are relatively slow-moving snakes, relying more on camouflage and ambush tactics to catch prey rather than pursuing it over long distances.

Plantlike protists, such as algae, are used to make various products such as food supplements like spirulina and chlorella, cosmetics, and biofuels. Algal blooms can also be used to help in wastewater treatment.

Some examples of diatomic molecules include hydrogen (H2), nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2). These molecules consist of two atoms of the same element bonded together.

Protists belong to the kingdom Protista. As Protists is a diverse group, it can further be classified into various phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species depending on the specific organism in question.

Plasmodium vivax, the protist that causes Malaria, is a sprozoan, which is a type of protist that doesn't move on its own, is parasitic by penetrating then living inside of its host, and it can have more than one host at a time.

1. By the way they get their nutrition

a. photoautotroph (do photosynthesis, have chloroplasts to produce their

own energy like plants)

b. heterotroph (either absorb nutrients like fungi or ingest nutrients like

animals)

c. mixotrophs (combine both ways to obtain nutrition)

2. The way they move

a. with cilia (ciliates)

b. with a flagella (flagellates)

c. by expanding and contracting their cytoplasm (look at a video of ameoba

moving)
