Protists
Protists are unicellular or multicellular microorganisms. The majority of protists are responsible for many diseases in humans.
500 Questions
What kind of environment do paramecium live in?
Asked by Wiki User
Aquatic environment. (ponds, lakes, streams, reservoirs, scums)
What structures provide locomotion in paramecium?
Asked by Wiki User
Paramecium contain cilia (hair like growth), all around their cell that helps them to move.
Would there be a higher concentration of dissolved molecules in pond water or in a paramecium cell?
Asked by Wiki User
I can guess which sheet you are looking for and it is in the link below...Don't
worry it is safe as I used it myself. The answer to this would be: 'There would be a greater concentration of dissolved molecules inside a cell.' Explanation: 'Water will move into Paramecium by osmosis because the concentration of water molecules is higher outside the Paramecium than inside.'
Once you click on the link you want to press 'show in folder' and then 'open with' microsoft word or adobe reader or whatever you use. Just don't click open with your browser that you are using as that will just download more copies... Hope this helped!!! :)

Which elements are diatomic in their natural state?
Asked by Wiki User
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine are all diatomic in their natural states.
Does the amoeba has an anterior end?
Asked by Wiki User
no, because they ingest the food particle into their giant cytoplasm and digest it.
Is amoeba animal-like or plantlike?
Asked by Wiki User
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
Where can you find a picture of an animated amoeba?
Asked by Wiki User
You can find one in the "Prentice Hall" microbiology science book.
Response:
You can find an animated gif [http://huntertrek.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/amoeba.gif here]
How are protists similar to bacteria?
Asked by Wiki User
1. Both have DNA
2. Both have ribosomes
3. Both are unicelluar
4. Both may have cell walls. (bacteria always do)
5. Some of both are human and other organism, parasites.
6. Some of both are harmful.
7. Some of both are useful.
8. Some of both do not affect humans.
they are both micrscopic. but protists are different because they didn't fit in bacteria or archaea. they had to have their own category made up.
How do plant like protists move?
Asked by Wiki User
Plant like protists move by using their flagella to push themselves through the water. They move their bodies forward and then pull the rest of their body behind them.
What is a characteristic shared by all protist?
Asked by Wiki User
They normally have some string-like projections, like flagella.
Protists are alike in that all are eukaryotic. They all have membrane-bound organelles and are known to have endosymbiotic origin. Apart from that, protists vary greatly depending on the type.
They all have two general types of organisms... protozoa and algae.
They can usually move themselves and capture prey.
The most plantlike Protists are called algae (usually unable to move themselves).
They are very small.
They can cause harmful events and diseases (Malaria and African sleeping sickness).
What do fungus-like protists reproduce with?
Asked by Wiki User
Spores
just got it right.
gametes
Asexual Reproduction
Why is a contractile vacuole essential to the survival of the amoebae and the paramecium?
Asked by Wiki User
the paramecium is bad medicene
Give one similarity between amoeba and human beings?
Asked by Wiki User
both unicellular
both need bacteria
both belong to animalia kingdom
How does Amoeba get around?
Asked by Wiki User
amoeba gets around by moving in the cell. Which is only found in plant cells.
How do diatoms get their food?
Asked by Wiki User
they feed on stuff
Diatoms are almost all photosynthetic. Most of the biological energy production (and oxygen production!) on earth is due to photosynthesis, and a little under half of it occurs in the ocean. Diatoms are responsible for a large proportion of the total energy production of the oceans, possibly as much as a half...
They don't eat but make there own nutrients
What are common names for the protist?
Asked by Wiki User
It is most likely being used in an ecosystem.
Answer:
A classification group into which are placed all organisms other than the prokaryotes, plants, fungi and animals.
A protist had NOTHING to do with bacteria, they are in different groups in the five kindoms, many protists are single celled, although there are many protists that are multicellular or colonial.
Can paramecium kill people?
Asked by Wiki User
well,In some circumstance's it can, Although it can cause certain diseases.
How does the amoeba obtain energy?
Asked by Wiki User
An amoeba gets energy in the same way that you do - from its food.
An amoeba feeds by sending out 'bulges' of its cytoplasm, called pseudopodia, to surround a small food particle eg a smaller protozoan or an alga. The food, together with a small drop of the water is taken into the cell to become a food vacuole. Enzymes are then added to the food vacuole to digest the food. The soluble products of digestion are taken into the cytoplasm and used for respiration or growth.
The release of energy from food is called respiration. Usually, the sugar called glucose is used by cells
