Protozoa

Very quietly.

Trichomoniasis will not cause a missed period.

No. its intracellular.

THIS ISNT A FOOD but toothpaste contains carrageenans =D i had to take something containing carageenan to school for homework

An Amoeba lives in Lakes and in Humans and Animals

I think it will....furthermore it reproduce by cell division

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.

Why is the amoeba considered an outgroup in this cladogram?

15, you just have to count the number of green things in the picture

Characteristics of protozoa:

motility: cilia, flagella, pseudopod

unicellular

heterotroph

This depends where you live.

Protozoan parasites can have one or multiple hosts throughout their life cycle. Some species, like Plasmodium (which causes malaria), require different hosts, including mosquitoes and humans, to complete their development. Other protozoan parasites may only need a single host to thrive and reproduce. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that parasitic protozoa never have more than one host.

In Paramecium, the primary organs of adhesion are the cilia, which are hair-like structures covering the surface of the organism. These cilia facilitate movement and can also help the organism adhere to surfaces in its environment. Additionally, the oral groove and cytostome play a role in feeding and may assist in attachment during feeding processes. Overall, these structures enable Paramecium to navigate and interact with its surroundings effectively.

Flagella help protozoa move through their environment and find food. They also aid in escaping from predators and navigating towards favorable conditions.

To get rid of Entamoeba histolytica, which causes amoebic dysentery, treatment typically involves the use of prescription medications such as metronidazole or tinidazole, often followed by a luminal agent like iodoquinol to eliminate cysts in the intestines. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, ensuring good hygiene practices and safe drinking water can help prevent reinfection.

A paramecium cell ranges from about 50 to 350 µm in length

Protozoans are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that can be found in various environments. An incorrect statement about protozoans might be that they are prokaryotic organisms; in fact, protozoans have a defined nucleus and organelles, distinguishing them from prokaryotes like bacteria. Additionally, while some protozoans are autotrophic, most are heterotrophic, relying on other organisms for nutrition.

An amoeba and a maple tree are both living organisms that require water and nutrients to survive. They also both possess genetic material in the form of DNA that directs their growth and development. Additionally, both amoebas and maple trees reproduce to create offspring and continue their species.

The main excretory products of protozoans are primarily ammonia and other nitrogenous wastes, which are byproducts of protein metabolism. These organisms typically excrete these wastes through diffusion across their cell membranes into the surrounding water, as many protozoans live in aquatic environments. Some protozoans may also utilize specialized structures, such as contractile vacuoles, to help regulate and expel excess water and waste.

Leptospirosis is caused by a type of bacteria called Leptospira. It is not caused by a protozoan.
