Diatoms are microscopic plants (phytoplankton) found in oceans and lakes. Their cell wall is made of Silica which remain after the diatom dies. Diatoms are single celled, photosynthetic algae this means that they are producers!!
What organisms use pseudopods for feeding and movement?
Amoebas move by means of pseudopodia, or the sarcodine protozoa. This characteristic movement involves the extrusion of the cytoplasm for movement or for feeding by engulfing food.
Can amoeba be in a swimming pool?
It's unlikely for an amoeba to survive in a properly chlorinated swimming pool. However, if the pool isn't maintained properly and the water temperature is warm, amoebas like Naegleria fowleri can potentially thrive and pose health risks to humans.
Describe three ways that protist differ from each other?
Protists are the miscellaneous group out of the six kingdom, so as long as they are eukaryotic they are protist. They can be heterotrophs or autotrophs, they can be multicellular or single-celled
naturalists referred to Amoeba as the Proteus animalcule after the Greek godProteus who could change his shape. The name "amibe" was given to it by Bory de Saint-Vincent,[3] from the Greek amoibè (αμοιβή), meaning change.[4]
Why are protists important to us?
it is important to study protist beacuse: (sorry i only know feww)
beacuse they help in the process of producing oxygen.
They are main base of food webs and food chains.
xDee
Is an amoeba made up of cells?
no.
an amoeba cell is a unicellular organism, which means that it is only made up of one cell
What are the disadvantage in brown algae?
Some important points that might help. I took them from one website as they were (didnt re-phrase) "Algae is currently used in many wastewater treatment facilities, reducing the need for more dangerous chemicals. Algae can be used to capture the runoff fertilizers that enter lakes and streams from nearby farms. Algae is used by some powerplants to reduce CO2 emissions. The CO2 is pumped into a pond, or some kind of tank, on which the algae feed."
Most protists move and generate their movement with cilia, flagella, or pseudopodia (false feet).
Protists that are classified as animal-like are called protozoans and share some common traits with animals.
All animal-like protists are heterotrophs. Likewise, all animal-like protists are able to move in their environment in order to find their food. Unlike, animals, however, animal-like protists are all unicellular.
Plasmodium is not a bacteria to be classified whether gram negative or gram positive. It is a genus of parasitic protists. Infection by these organisms is known as malaria.
Why are some protists more closely related to other kingdoms than to members of their own kingdom?
Because they are more different than they are alike.
Is a paramecium a animal like protist or plant like protist?
Simply because it eats other organisms using a simple digestive system. And also Animal-like protist's move by cilia, Flagelum.
All Protozoa including Paramecium are included in Animal like Protista , because 1 they ingest food and then digest it , 2 they show locomotion , , 3 they are heterotrophic .
What are the three ways that animal-like protists move?
three ways protozoans move are cilia, pushing out part of their bodys called pseudopod, and flagella.
What group of protists can glow in the dark or cause toixc red tides?
Many glow in the dark; Euglenoids
To keep from bursting and dying what must a Paramecium do in a hypotonic environment?
A Paramecium has a plasma membrane that is much less permeable to water than other membranes of most cells. The Paramecium cell is also equipped with a contractile vacuole, an organelle that functions to force water out of the cell as fast as it enters by osmosis.

What method of locomotion do paramecium use?
Paramecium uses cilia, which are like tiny hairs all around the organism, to pull itself through water. Sometimes, not all the cilia move in the same direction, so the cell spirals as it pulls itself through the water.
well first of all diatoms are not a species, they are an entire class of organisms with many different species under the umbrella term, "diatoms." And there will probably always be diatoms of some kind or another. If certain types are endangered, it would be pretty hard to notice as they are microscopic. And it would be near impossible to get anyone to care about an endangered microscopic single-celled organism. That's like asking someone to care about an endangered sewer bacteria or an endangered dirt fungus. At best it's like yeah who cares at worst it's like good effin riddance. But i think this is most likely a troll question anyway. (Don't you have studying to do?)
How does amoeba engulf solid food particles?
Amoebas use pseudopods, which are temporary extensions of their cell membrane, to surround and engulf solid food particles. Once the food particle is completely enclosed within the pseudopod, it forms a food vacuole where digestion takes place.
Why are some bosses difficult to deal with?
The bosses I've had that were difficult usually had one of two conditions to deal with that made them difficult. One was that they had reached a level of responsibility that was just beyond their capability to perform and they were worried that they would be found out. The second was when the boss felt they hadn't been recognized with the higher level of responsibility they deserved and they were bitter.
Diatoms themselves are not dangerous; they are a type of algae that play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems and contribute to oxygen production. However, some diatoms can produce toxins that may be harmful to marine life and humans if ingested or if they bloom excessively, leading to harmful algal blooms. In general, diatoms are beneficial organisms, but their effects can vary depending on the species and environmental conditions.
