Protists

Oh, dude, an amoeba is totally unicellular. It's like a lone wolf in the microscopic world, just doing its thing all by itself. No need for a squad when you're a one-cell wonder, right?

Paramecium are single-celled organisms that typically live independently rather than in colonies. They are part of the phylum Ciliophora and are characterized by their cilia, which they use for movement and feeding. While they may gather in groups in favorable environments, they do not exhibit true colonial behavior like some other microorganisms.

Blue green algae or cynobacteria are photosynthetic.They produce their food themselves.

Can be both harmful and helpful. They can be harmful to humans because, many types of amoebas can carry diseases, and some can feed on human tissue. They can get into our body by, contaminated food and contaminated water. Amoebas are also helpful because they are part of the food chain.

Well, diatoms are tiny, single-celled algae that play a crucial role in the food chain. They are at the base of the marine food web, where they are eaten by various organisms like zooplankton, which are then consumed by larger animals such as fish and whales. So, diatoms are like nature's little artists, painting the foundation of the food chain with their beautiful presence.

An amoeba primarily uses a process called phagocytosis to obtain food. This involves the amoeba extending its cell membrane to engulf food particles, such as bacteria or other microorganisms, forming a food vacuole. The vacuole then fuses with lysosomes, where enzymes break down the food for digestion. This method allows the amoeba to absorb nutrients efficiently from its environment.

An amoeba is a primary consumer, also known as a herbivore or a heterotroph. As a single-celled organism, it feeds on smaller organisms such as bacteria, algae, and other microscopic organisms through a process called phagocytosis. This feeding level places the amoeba at the second trophic level in a food chain or food web.

I think the answer could be both spirogyre and euglena move by using flagella

Paramecium is not a parasitic organism. It is a free-living, single-celled protist that can be found in various aquatic environments. It feeds on bacteria and smaller organisms by using cilia to sweep them into its oral groove.

A mammal, such as a dog or cat, is not a protist. Mammals belong to the kingdom Animalia, whereas protists belong to the kingdom Protista.

i think protist got its name by having a variety of what its about. For example, some protist are autotorophs and heterotrophs multicellular unicellular all this. think about it pro means avanced expert protist, has all these things going on that its needs are met.

if im wrong dont blame me im only 12 looking at page 28 in my science book lol

The amoeba in Figure 15 belongs to the group of protozoans called sarcodines. Sarcodines move and feed by forming pseudopods (soo duh pahdz)---temporary bulges of the cell. The word pseudopod means "false foot." Pseudopods form when cytoplasm flows toward one location and the rest of the organism follows. Pseudopods enable sarcodines to move. For example, amoebas use pseudopods to move away from bright light. Sarcodines also use pseudopods to trap food. The organism extends a pseudopod on each side of the food particle. The two pseudopods then join together, trapping the particle inside.

The nucleus of amoebas and protozoans contains genetic material such as DNA and controls the cell's activities including growth, metabolism, and reproduction. It acts as the command center of the cell, directing essential functions and enabling cell division.

Pseudoplasmodium is a collection of amoebae that have combined due to a loss of food source. This aggregated of amoebae forms a slug structure with a defined body that is motile and responds to light and temperature. Under specific conditions, this grex can 'sprout' out stalks that create spore like structures to form a protective cellular wall. These spores can turn into individual amoebae when a food supply is replenished.

Naegleria is a protist that belongs to the phylum Percolozoa. It is a free-living amoeba found in freshwater environments worldwide. Naegleria fowleri, in particular, is known to cause a rare but severe brain infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis.

Protists can be unicellular, multicellular, or colonial. Some protists are single-celled organisms, while others form colonies of cells, and a few are multicellular with specialized tissues.

Organisms in the Kingdom Protista move using various methods such as cilia, flagella, pseudopods, or by simply drifting with the water current. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism, while flagella are longer whip-like structures that provide movement. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to pull the organism forward.

Paramecium is a representative of the protist group called ciliates. They are single-celled organisms with hair-like structures called cilia that help in movement and feeding. Paramecium are found in freshwater environments and play a role in aquatic ecosystems.

The organisms known as sponges were originally considered animals by zoologists due to their ability to move and filter feed. However, they were also claimed to be plants by botanists due to their sessile nature and lack of clearly defined tissues. Eventually, sponges were classified as animals based on genetic and developmental studies.

Different kinds of protists get their food in different ways. Some protists can move and can take in food like animals do. Plant-like protists need to absorb the sun's energy in order to make food inside their bodies. Other protists like fungus grow above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria. This bacteria is then taken in by phagocytosis. Protists such as Dinoflagellates, Euglena, and Algae are Phototrophs that get their energy from sunlight. Protists like Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes, and Amobae are Organotrophs that get their energy from organic compounds.

Animal-like protists in the phylum Sarcodina are known as amoebas. They move and feed by extending and retracting pseudopods, which are temporary bulges of the cell membrane. Amoebas primarily engulf food particles through phagocytosis.

In crayfish, the walking legs and gills are attached because they share a common function of facilitating oxygen exchange. The movement of the walking legs helps to create a flow of water over the gills, allowing for oxygen to be absorbed and carbon dioxide to be released. This adaptation helps crayfish efficiently obtain oxygen from their aquatic environment.

Around 1980 taxonomists started to use phylogeny as the main factor in classification. As a result, some Taxa have entered an ambiguous grey zone while taxonomists debate where to place them. Amoebas are among these. They were once part of a phylum known as Sarcodina, but are now given their own phylum Rhizopoda.

It depends on what the jellyfish eat if the jellyfish does not make its own food it is a consumer
