Protists

Amoebas are single-celled organisms that move by extending their cell membrane called pseudopods, while hydras are multicellular organisms that belong to the phylum Cnidaria and have tentacles around their mouths for feeding. Amoebas lack specialized tissues and organs, while hydras have a simple body structure with a basic nervous system, digestive system, and reproductive organs.

Protists are considered a rag bag of living organisms because they are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that do not fit neatly into other major classification groups like plants, animals, or fungi. They exhibit a wide range of characteristics and lifestyles, making them a varied and eclectic group.

Diatomaceous earth (diatom) can be found in various household items such as insecticides, toothpaste, water filters, and absorbent materials. It is commonly used for its abrasive and absorbent properties in these products.

The algae used in making ramen noodles is called konbu, or kombu. It is a type of edible kelp that is commonly used in Japanese cuisine to add flavor and nutrients to broths and soups. Konbu is rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy addition to the diet.

The cell wall of a diatom is rich in silicon. It is composed of two overlapping halves, like a petri dish, made of silica that give diatoms their unique intricate patterns and shapes.

Trypanosomes are a type of parasitic protozoa that can cause diseases in humans and animals, such as sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. They are transmitted to their hosts through the bite of infected tsetse flies. Trypanosomes have a unique characteristic of being able to evade the host's immune system by changing their surface proteins.

we can identify the element having diatomic by finding out the valency of that element.

i think it helps you.

One actual fun fact is that they can conume other organisms for their nutrients, so that means that you are an organism, so that they can consume you! Joking, but they do consum organisms for their nutrients.

The classification of Kingdom Protista is no longer used in modern biological classifications. Organisms that were once classified under Kingdom Protista are now distributed into various other kingdoms based on their evolutionary relationships, such as Kingdoms Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, and others.

No, Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, does not have flagella. It has a specialized organelle called the apical complex, which helps it invade host cells.

Some amoebas are parasitic, meaning they live inside another organism and obtain nutrients at the host's expense. However, not all amoebas are parasitic, as there are many free-living species that feed on bacteria and algae in various environments.

Algae are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food.

A single celled protist that shares characteristics with a plant.

Yes, diatoms are classified within the division Chrysophyta, which includes golden-brown algae like diatoms.

Fire Algae are in Phylum Pyrrophyta :)

Flagella, Cilia and Cytoplasmic Streaming. Cilia are small hairlike structures that protists use to "crawl". A flagella is a long tail that pushes and propels the protist forward, also used by sperm cells. Cytoplasmic Streaming is used by the amoeba to "ooze" its way to places.

Yes, Blepharisma have cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that help with movement and feeding in many protists, including Blepharisma. The cilia beat in coordinated patterns to allow the organism to swim and capture food particles.

Yes, neon tetras can live with algae eaters like bristlenose plecos or Siamese algae eaters. However, make sure the tank size is large enough to accommodate both species, and provide ample hiding spots for the neon tetras as they can be sensitive to aggressive tankmates. Additionally, ensure the algae eater's diet is supplemented as they may not rely solely on algae for sustenance.

Oxygen can either be diatomic, monoatomic and triatomic. The question is which one is the most stable. The most stable is obviously diatomic oxygen O2. Next is triatomic (ozone) O3 and the least stable (very unstable) is monoatomic. Monoatomic oxygen is very shortly living species combining easily (due to very high electronegativity) with large number of elements including another oxygen atom. If we are required to say which is the most common form of oxygen then we need to say it is diatomic O2 existing at room temp and atmospheric pressure as a gas.

In a 33 chapter microbiology book, 'The Protists' do not Appear until Chapter Number 26!

They include five types of Algae, four types of Protozoa, one yeast and six fungi and The Slime Molds.

The three main sub-classifications of protists are protozoa (unicellular organisms that obtain nutrients through ingestion), algae (photosynthetic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular), and fungus-like protists (heterotrophic organisms with characteristics similar to fungi).

No, blepharisma is not an algae. It is a type of unicellular ciliate protozoan that is classified in the phylum Ciliophora. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that belong to a different biological kingdom.

Some organisms in the kingdom Protista are capable of producing their own food through photosynthesis, like algae. However, not all protists have this ability, as some are heterotrophic and need to obtain nutrients from other sources.

Paramecium protists reproduce by both fission (asexual reproduction) and conjugation (sexual reproduction). Fission involves the cell dividing into two identical daughter cells, while conjugation involves the exchange of genetic material between two individuals to increase genetic diversity.
