The organism paramecium moves using hair-like structures called cilia that cover its entire body. The coordinated beating of these cilia allows the paramecium to propel itself through water by creating a flow of water around its body.

Yes, paramecium has a well-defined opening called an oral groove that functions as its mouth. This oral groove is used to intake food particles and transfer them to the cell's oral cavity for digestion.

Blepharisma is a type of single-celled organism known as a ciliate, and it usually feeds on other small microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and other protozoa. It uses its cilia to sweep these organisms into its mouth opening for ingestion.

Sarcodines also use pseudopods to trap food. The organisms extends a pseudopod on each side of the food particle. The two pseudopods then join together, trapping the particle inside

No, an amoeba does not have a jaw. Amoebas are single-celled organisms that engulf food particles through a process called phagocytosis, where the cell membrane surrounds the food and forms a food vacuole for digestion.

When diatoms die, their shells are called frustules. These microscopic structures are made of silica and can accumulate in large numbers on the ocean floor, forming sediment known as diatomaceous earth.

Binary fission is asexual; the organism splits directly into two equal -sized offsprings,each with a copy of the parent's genetic material. Binary fission is a common type of reproduction in single-celled organisms.

1) Chromsome is replicated

2) The Chromsome Splits into Daughter Strands

3) Cytokinesis splits the Amoeba into two daughters. This process is the cytoplam concaving (pinching) together on the equatorial line

4) Two Amoebas with identical DNA

No, not all protists live in dry surroundings. Protists can be found in a variety of habitats including freshwater, marine environments, and moist terrestrial habitats. Some protists are even capable of living in extreme environments such as hot springs or deep sea vents.

Nitzschia jouseae is a type of diatom, which is a type of single-celled algae. It was first discovered in the Beaufort Sea and is known for its elongated shape with distinctive markings. Diatoms like Nitzschia jouseae play a key role in marine ecosystems as primary producers.

Generally protists help in decomposition of dead organic matter by feeding on them.Such type of protists or bacteria are called saprophytes

No, amoebas do not have jaws. They capture their food by surrounding it with their cell membrane and engulfing it through a process called phagocytosis.

Many aquatic organisms consume diatoms. Diatoms are an important type of primary producer in marine and freshwater systems and are a type of algae. In marine systems, many zooplankton and some small fish consume diatoms.

Elodea could struggle to survive in the ocean due to differences in salinity levels compared to freshwater lakes. Paramecium might have a better chance of survival as they are more adaptable to varying environmental conditions, but they would still face challenges adapting to the different nutrient availability and predators in the ocean.

Slime molds move like amoebas through a process called cytoplasmic streaming, and they reproduce like fungi through the formation of spores. Slime molds are unique organisms that exhibit characteristics of both amoebas and fungi.

Diatoms are microscopic algae that are not typically consumed by humans as a direct food source. However, some marine organisms such as certain species of zooplankton and small fish do consume diatoms as part of their diet.

No, amoebas are not decomposers. Amoebas are single-celled organisms that primarily feed on bacteria, algae, and other small organisms through phagocytosis, but they do not play a significant role in breaking down dead organic matter in the environment like decomposers do.

A genus of naked, lobose, pseudopod-forming protozoa of the class Sarcodina that are abundant soil-dwellers, especially in rich organic debris ...

No, tube feet are a characteristic feature of echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins. Protists do not possess tube feet.

The ameba makes a "false foot" extension called a pseudopod.

The cytoplasm inside the cell is capable of changing into different states. It can turn very easily from a fluid into a solid state and vice versa. The fluid state of the cytoplasm is called plasmasol, the more solid state is called plasmagel. When the organism locomotes the plasmasol flows through the center of the cell towards the front. When the plasmasol moves to the sides it becomes solid again. This way the cell can propel itself as a whole but can also send pseudopodia in many directions.

They are all types of single-celled microorganisms. They are able to reproduce asexually through processes such as binary fission. They can be found in various environments and play important roles in ecosystems.

Paramecium is a single-celled organism that belongs to the group of ciliates. They are covered in tiny hair-like structures called cilia that help them move and feed. Paramecium reproduces asexually through a process called binary fission.

Paramecium absorbs oxygen directly from its surroundings through a process called diffusion. Oxygen from the water enters the paramecium's cell membrane and diffuses into the cytoplasm, where it is used in cellular respiration to produce energy.

Yes, amoebas have contractile vacuoles that help regulate their water balance by expelling excess water from the cell. These vacuoles also play a role in excreting waste material from the cell.
