Protists

Animal-like amoebas reproduce asexually by binary fission, where the cell divides into two daughter cells. Plant-like euglena can reproduce both sexually and asexually. During asexual reproduction, they undergo binary fission, while in sexual reproduction, two euglena cells fuse to exchange genetic material.

Protista is a kingdom of organisms.And the second phylum of plantae kingdom is bryophyta,these are called the amphibians of plantae kingdom.(The spelling may be wrong.)

The smallest protists are typically single-celled organisms known as picoplankton. These tiny protists can be as small as 0.2 micrometers in size, making them some of the smallest eukaryotic organisms on Earth.

Multicellular protists are grouped with unicellular protists because multicellular protists are very similar to unicellular protists. A protist is any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungus, or a prokaryote.

Paramecium is a ciliate, Trypanosoma is a parasite that causes diseases like African sleeping sickness, and slime molds are a group of organisms that can exhibit characteristics of both fungi and protozoa.

Paramecia are eaten by other microorganisms such as amoebas, ciliates, and various small aquatic animals like water fleas and insect larvae. They play a crucial role in the aquatic food chain as a food source for many organisms.

Most Diatoms are Photosynthetic but some have evolved to be heterotrophic

Once the waste has reached the edge of its cytoplasmic body it opens up the cytoplasm (pseudopodia) to release the waste outside the cytoplasmic body.

Rotifers are smaller than protist but nevertheless are multicellular and have speicalized organ systems.

Dinoflagellates with red photosynthetic pigments belong to the group called the "peridinin-containing dinoflagellates." These pigments help in capturing light for photosynthesis in deeper waters where blue and green light are less available.

The phyla of animal-like protists that consist solely of free-living members include Ciliophora (ciliates), which are characterized by their hair-like structures called cilia used for movement and feeding, and Euglenozoa, which includes euglenids that often have flagella for locomotion. Other examples include the Amoebozoa, particularly those with free-living amoebas that move and feed using pseudopodia. In contrast, many other protist groups may include both free-living and parasitic species.

Many protists have developed adaptations that allow them to survive freezing temperatures. Some produce protective substances, like antifreeze proteins or sugars, which prevent ice crystal formation and cellular damage. Others can enter a dormant state, such as cyst formation, to withstand extreme conditions until temperatures become favorable again. However, the ability to survive freezing varies widely among different protist species.

The term "protist" originates from the Greek word "protistos," meaning "the very first" or "the first of all." It refers to a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are not animals, plants, or fungi, typically single-celled or simple multicellular organisms. Protists encompass a wide variety of life forms, including algae, protozoa, and slime molds, reflecting their evolutionary position as some of the earliest forms of life on Earth.

One well-known protist that acts as a parasite is Plasmodium, which is responsible for malaria. This unicellular organism invades red blood cells in humans to obtain nutrients and reproduce. Transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes, Plasmodium can cause severe health issues, including fever and anemia, as it disrupts the normal function of the host's blood cells.

There are many ways in which protists are more advanced than bacteria. Protists possess a nucleus. Protists can also be unicellular or multicellular while bacteria is only unicellular.

Yes, protists can be found in drinking water, especially in untreated or poorly treated sources. Many protists, such as amoebas and algae, are naturally occurring microorganisms in aquatic environments. While most drinking water treatment processes eliminate harmful pathogens, some protists may still survive if water is not properly filtered or treated. Regular monitoring and treatment are essential to ensure water safety.

Desmids are a group of unicellular green algae, classified within the division Chlorophyta. They are primarily found in freshwater environments and are known for their symmetrical shapes and intricate cell structures. While they share some characteristics with plants, such as photosynthesis, they are distinct from true plants and fungi. Therefore, desmids are considered algae, which are a separate category from animals, plants, and fungi.
