Protozoa
Protozoans are unicellular organisms found in many different habitats. They are eukaryotic and can be predators, herbivores or parasites, depending upon the species. The well-known disease malaria is caused by a protozoa.

Which type of protist is also known as a protozoan?
bye byhe the type of protist is also know as a anmail like protasr
Mastigophora- protozoa that are also parasitic aside from Trypanosome and Leishmania?
Mastigophora is a subgroup of protozoa that includes parasitic organisms such as Giardia and Trichomonas, in addition to Trypanosoma and Leishmania. These organisms typically have flagella for movement and can cause infections in humans and animals. They have unique morphological and behavioral characteristics that distinguish them from other protozoa.
Is protozoa a spherical or rod shaped bacteria?
Protozoa are not bacteria. They are single-celled eukaryotic organisms that can have various shapes, including spherical, rod-shaped, and more complex forms. Bacteria, on the other hand, are typically rod-shaped, spherical, or spiral in shape.
Are euglena warm blooded animals?
Euglena are not warm blooded animals, however they need to stay warm to live. They also can live inside of a warm blooded animal.
What is the kindgom of euglena?
Euglena is a genus of single-celled organisms that are part of the protist kingdom. They are commonly found in freshwater environments and have characteristics of both plant and animal cells. Euglena are known for their ability to photosynthesize like plants in the presence of light, and they can also feed on organic matter like animals.
I'd like to issue a disclaimer that I am not a medical professional, just an HIV community educator and counselor.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.)
Individuals infected with HIV may become more apt to develop infections as their immune system is weakened by the virus over time. When someone has a weakened immune system, they are succeptible to "opportunitistic infections." Opportunistic infections are diseases that those with normal immune function do not have to be concerned about contracting.
Apart from opportunistic infections, those with HIV infection may have increased difficulty when infected with other viruses, bacteria, fungi ect.
Of the infections listed, rheumatoid arthiritis stands out as the condition that would be least likely to be caused by HIV infection. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks the joints. A person may be predisposed to RA and HIV can increase the severity of the condition, however the virus is not the cause of the condition.
Does an amoeba have lysosomes?
Yes, amoebas do have lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that contain digestive enzymes to break down materials such as food particles, bacteria, and damaged organelles. Amoebas use lysosomes to carry out intracellular digestion.
What is the food source of paramecium?
Paramecia feed on microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and yeasts. To gather food, the Paramecium uses its cilia to sweep prey organisms, along with some water, through the oral groove, and into the mouth opening.
Paramecium have hair-like structures on the outside of their body called?
Thehairs on the paramecium are called cillia, it then is able to move in all directions
Protozoan infection is not likely to be transmitted by?
Protozoan infections are not likely to be transmitted by airborne route or casual contact like shaking hands. They are more commonly spread through ingestion of contaminated food or water, insect bites, or sexual contact.
Is the Euglena a muticellular organism?
Euglena is a unicellular organism be because it only has one cell in its makeup.
What color ia an Amoeba proteus?
If you were painting a protozoan you would paint a picture of a cell of an animal. RED,ORANGE,YELLOW,GREEN,BLUE,PURPLE,WHITE,BLACK,BROWN,GREY,SILVER
An amoeba moving toward a food source is what?
Using a microscope, you observe an amoeba moving toward a food source. This is an example of responsiveness. Endocytosis produces a structure called a food vesicle.
Vectors that some protozoa use to transfer disease are?
Some common vectors that protozoa use to transfer disease include mosquitoes, ticks, and flies. These vectors can carry protozoa such as Plasmodium (malaria), Trypanosoma (sleeping sickness), and Leishmania (leishmaniasis) and transmit them to humans through their bites.
How the amoeba uses it pseudopods?
Pseudopods serve two important functions-locomotion and food capture, activities that are often interrelated. Amoebas use their pseudopods to ingest food by a method called phagocytosis (Greek: phagein, to eat).
The streaming of protoplasm inside the pseudopods moves the amoeba forward. When the organism contacts a food particle, the pseudopods surround the particle. After the food is corralled by the amoeba, an opening in the membrane allows the food particle to pass into the cell. Inside the cell, the food is enclosed within food vacuoles, digested by enzymes, and assimilated by the amoeba. The amoeba expels particles that are not acceptable as food.
Yes, paramecium has a well-defined opening called an oral groove that functions as its mouth. This oral groove is used to intake food particles and transfer them to the cell's oral cavity for digestion.
What is the name of the membrane that covers a euglena?
The membrane that covers a euglena is called a pellicle. It is a flexible outer covering that helps maintain the euglena's shape and allows it to move in a characteristic spiraling motion.
How thus paramecium response in sugar solution?
When a paramecium is placed in a sugar solution, it may exhibit a positive chemotaxis response, moving towards the higher concentration of sugar. This response is driven by the organism's cilia, which help it to sense and move towards food sources for energy. Once the paramecium reaches the sugar, it will engulf and digest it through a process called phagocytosis.
What is the organ of locomotion of a ciliate protozoa?
== == They depend on the kind of protozoan. Possibilities are flagella (flagellum singular), cilia, or a pseudopod. == == == ==
Volvox colonies can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction occurs through the formation of daughter colonies within the parent colony. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
Do protozoa have rigid cell walls?
no.but amoebas eat protozoa. hey,who knows what a Planck Length
is?
*If you know,keep reading. If you don't know,stop reading this.
Attometer? Teraparec?! wow! Smarty! Do U know "MarbleBlast Platinum"?
"MarbleBlast Revived"?
Probably not because it just came out 2 weeks ago! *dont listen to that! its a lye!
The place where digestion takes place in many protozoa is called?
The place where digestion takes place in many protozoa is called the vacuole. The vacuole contains enzymes that help in breaking down food particles for absorption and energy production.
No, an amoeba does not have a jaw. Amoebas are single-celled organisms that engulf food particles through a process called phagocytosis, where the cell membrane surrounds the food and forms a food vacuole for digestion.
Euglena can be autotrophic, producing their own food through photosynthesis using chloroplasts like plants. They can also be heterotrophic, feeding on other microorganisms or decaying organic matter. Additionally, Euglena can survive in the absence of light by absorbing nutrients from their surroundings.
Why does euglena have tail like structure?
The tail-like structure in Euglena, called a flagellum, helps them move through water by beating in a whip-like motion. This enables the organism to navigate towards light sources for photosynthesis and towards nutrients for feeding.
