Protists

a millipede

Protists are typically unicellular organisms with a diverse range of characteristics and behaviors. They can be found in a variety of environments, including freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats. Many protists are important in the food chain as primary producers or as consumers.

Amoeba releases energy through the process of cellular respiration, which involves breaking down glucose molecules to generate ATP. Paramecium obtains energy through a combination of aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation. Euglena uses a specialized organelle called a chloroplast to conduct photosynthesis and produce energy in the form of ATP.

The most common and well known disease caused by amoeba is amoebic dysentery resulting in severe diarrhea.

diatom is a producer

Single-celled organisms like paramecium are called protists. Protists are eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals, or fungi, and they can be classified into different groups based on their characteristics and modes of nutrition.

Blepharisma have cilia, which are hair-like structures used for movement and feeding. Flagella are whip-like structures used for propulsion in some microorganisms, but Blepharisma primarily rely on their cilia for movement.

Sarcodina

Pigs and other crabs

Population explosions of dinoflagellates, also known as harmful algal blooms (HABs), occur when these single-celled organisms rapidly reproduce due to favorable environmental conditions like warm water and nutrient availability. These blooms can have negative impacts on marine ecosystems, leading to fish kills, shellfish poisoning, and oxygen depletion in the water. Monitoring and understanding the factors that contribute to dinoflagellate population explosions are critical for managing and mitigating their harmful effects.

Revelation was a trade name marketed by Western Auto. If you have a model number, I may be able to cross-reference it to the manufacturer.

negative phototaxis

yes, they survive in hosts or live on dead carcasses

they eat smaller organisms like bacteria

They help the digestive systems and help digest any food

Characteristics that make amoeba and paramecium animal-like include locomotion and lack of photosynthesis.

The endoplasm in amoeba is the inner, granular part of its cell body where organelles and structures such as the nucleus and food vacuoles are located. It is involved in various cellular processes such as metabolism, digestion, and movement within the cell.

Protists live in oceans, streams, ponds, and also human and animal digestive tracts.

Without protists animals may die, Example:Cow
