Protists

Yes, many protists are motile. They may move using structures like flagella, cilia, or pseudopods. Motility is an important characteristic that allows protists to find food, escape predators, and navigate their environment.

Amoebas like Entamoeba histolytica can cause damage to the liver by invading and creating abscesses, a condition known as amoebic liver abscess. However, amoebas typically do not damage brain tissues as they primarily affect the intestines. In rare cases, neurological symptoms can occur if the infection spreads.

Paramecium look like little peanuts or slippers, with one end coming to a point. They are very tiny, (about 0.02 in) and you will need to look under a microscope to see one, and it is very difficult as they move quickly.

Parameciums reproduce asexually by binary fission, where the cell divides into two equal parts. They can also undergo sexual reproduction through a process called conjugation, where genetic material is exchanged between two organisms.

A paramecium typically has thousands of cells, which make up its single-celled organism structure. The cells in a paramecium are specialized to perform various functions, such as movement, feeding, and reproduction.

phytoplankton found in the ocean. They play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by contributing to the base of the food web and producing a significant amount of oxygen through photosynthesis. Additionally, diatoms have unique cell walls made of silica, which give them their distinct shape and help with nutrient cycling in the ocean.

Well, honey, Mercury might be a planet, but it ain't no diatomic element. Diatomic elements are those that naturally exist as molecules composed of two atoms bonded together, like hydrogen or oxygen. So, Mercury can keep spinning around the sun, but it ain't gonna be part of the diatomic club anytime soon.

They are both cells and are both living.

A dolphin grows rapidly in the first few years of its life, reaching sexual maturity between the age of 5 and 13. They continue to grow in size and strength, adapting to their environment to become efficient hunters and social members of their pod. As they age, they may experience changes in their physical abilities and behavior, but can live up to 50 years or more.

Yes, but not in the organs that large forms of life have, such as stomach, intestines livers, etc. Instead, they have what are called vacuoles. These vacuoles are small, circular pockets inside the amoeba spontaneously creates that can either digest food or excrete waste. When an amoeba eats, it engulfs its food with its pseudopods, or blob shaped projections. The food it engulfed creates a little pocket, or vacuole, that is then used to digest with and later, the vacuole is released from the amoeba containing the waste it created from digestion.

Yes, centric diatom are algae that are species that display radial symmetry. Diatoms are like clams, they have a two-part silica cell wall, called frustules. Diatoms are then divided into two groups based on the symmetry of their frustules, bilaterally symmetrical are called pennate diatom and centric diarom are radial symmetrical.

The hair-like extensions on a paramecium are called cilia. These cilia beat in a coordinated fashion to help the paramecium move through its aquatic environment.

When things the amoeba wants to eat - other cells, little food particles, etc. - stick to surface molecules (the term for surface molecules that recognize and bind to specific factors - proteins, sugars, hormones - is receptors), the shape changing machinery is set in motion, and the membrane flows around the particle of lunch. When it's surrounded, the membrane comes in contact with itself on the other side of the particle and merges, actually capturing the particle within the amoeba in a little membrane-covered bubble, called a vacuole. This process is called "phagocytes", which basically means cell eating.

The name for protists that live in water is plankton. They are microscopic organisms that form the base of the aquatic food chain.

An amoeba moves using pseudopods, which are temporary bulges of the cell membrane and cytoplasm that help in locomotion and capturing food. These pseudopods can extend and retract to propel the amoeba in its environment.

Plants, certain protists, and monerans are collectively called autotrophs, as they are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis or other processes without needing to consume other organisms for nutrition.

Parameciums move by using hair-like structures called cilia that cover their outer surface. These cilia beat in a coordinated manner, propelling the paramecium through water in a spiraling fashion. This movement helps them to find food and avoid predators.

Paramecium need to regulate their internal water content to prevent bursting due to excessive water intake through osmosis. They remove water by contracting their contractile vacuole, which expels excess water from the cell to maintain internal balance, ensuring their survival in various environments.

Amoebas are protists and therefore unicellular eukaryotic organisms. This means that they contain a nucleus. The DNA of ANY eukaryotic organism is found in the nucleus.

Amoebas reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission. In this process, the parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells. The nucleus of the parent cell first undergoes division, followed by cell membrane separation, resulting in the formation of two new individual amoebas.

This is an example of endocytosis, a process where the cell takes in materials from its external environment by engulfing them in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. It is a common mechanism used by cells to take in nutrients and other substances.

Phylum Amoebozoa.

Some unicellular organisms with ameboid forms are also commonly called "amoeba", but they do not belong always to phylum Amoebozoa. Amoeba is a genus, however, all species of phylum Amoebozoa are currently called amoebae.

Complexity of paramecium over amoeba.

Amoeba has no definite shape, moves by pseudopodia and must capture its food with cytoplasmic projections. They reproduce by binary fission alone.

Whereas Paramecia contain a pellicle that gives it a more defined shape. It possesses cilia for movement, nuclei and awell defined mouth pore for food to enter. It also contains 2 stationary contractile vacuoles that helps maintain homeostasis. It is capable of reproduction in two different ways: conjugation and binary fission.
