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.

A chlamydomonas is a single-celled green alga that is typically about 10-20 micrometers in size. It is small enough to be seen under a light microscope.
Which internal structures of animals are specifically adapted to use contraction to cause movement?
Muscle
Protozoans are preyed upon by a variety of organisms, including other protozoans, microscopic animals like nematodes and rotifers, and larger organisms like fish and amphibians. Additionally, some protozoans are susceptible to parasites and pathogens that feed on them.
What is a description of euglena?
Euglena is an elongated animalcule with anterior end slightly broad and posterior end slightly tapering The anterior end bears flagellum. The food particle is captured with the help of flagellum. It is brought near the anterior end which invaginate to form a food cup which becomes totally enclosed and finally internalized as a food vacuole.The digestion is intracellular.
Light affects euglena by inhibiting growth. Specifically light inhibits glucose consumption and growth on glucose containing mediums. The permeability of the cellular membrane being modified is a possible explanation.
Does Paramecium repair themselves?
Yes, Paramecium have the ability to repair themselves through processes like regeneration. When injured or damaged, Paramecium can repair their membranes and organelles to recover and continue their normal functions.
What is the food gathering of a paramecium?
Paramecium, a single-celled organism, gathers food primarily through a process called phagocytosis. It uses cilia, hair-like structures on its surface, to create water currents that draw in bacteria and other small particles. Once food particles enter its oral groove, they are engulfed in food vacuoles where digestion occurs. This efficient method allows paramecium to thrive in its aquatic environment.
No, radiolaria are not parasites. They are single-celled organisms that are found in oceans and are part of the plankton community. They play a vital role in the marine ecosystem as they are important primary producers.
What is the function of the endoplasm in amoeba?
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.
What is the tail on an euglena called?
THE FLAGELLUM OF COURSE I JUST LEARNED THIS IN SCIENCE CLASS :)
Hahah.
What magnification can volvox be seen?
Volvox can typically be seen at a magnification of around 40-100x under a standard light microscope. Specialized microscopes, such as phase contrast or dark-field microscopes, may be able to provide clearer images at lower magnifications.
Which pairing match protozoa with the structures they use to move?
Novanet: amoeba: pseudopod; euglena: flagellum; paramecium: cilla
How do you kill amoeba inside my stomach?
I actually have it in my stomach too right now, I consulted the doctor yesterday, he gave me meds, its very disturbing thing, I had to bowel every once in a while, plus I had fever and headache at the same time, AND MY BODY IS VERY WEAK :(
