Protist Essays

classified in the Protista kingdom because, like other protists, they really don 't fit in with other kingdoms. They are motile like animals but some are unicellular so they cannot be classified as animals. There are several types of Slime Molds. Plasmodial slime molds (such as Physarum polycephalum) are slime molds that form giant, multinucleated cell colonies. ... Cellular slime molds remain as unicellular 'slug-like ' amoeboid protists for much of their life, crawling through leaf matter and

The dark Euglena as previously mentioned contain mitochondria, which is responsible for converting chemicals such as oxygen and glucose into useable energy however as simple, unicellular organisms these protists rely on sourcing these chemicals from other organic compounds. As a result of the use of chemicals sources in their environment to carry out oxidative processes, supplying the cell with energy, the dark Euglena are considered chemoheterotrophs opposed

QUESTION: Our question was “What effect does the size of container have on the population of protozoans? BACKGROUND: We had three jars; one control which was the size of the ones we initially used, one that was half that size, and one that was three times that size. They both had 1.2 grams of grass to 50 milliliters of water. We covered the jars starting on the second day. The experiment went on for 26 days, and we fully observed on 3 days. To try to make the test fair, we tried to do what made

Protists is an artificial grouping. It contains a pacific group of organisms. They have been around for years. Protists are not plants, nor animals, nor fungi, nor bacteria, or archaeons. This group has been around for a couple of centuries. They come from a large diverse group of eukaryotic microorganism unicellular animals and plants and do not have tissue. Like most plants and animals have tissue that you can identify them into groups or categories. Protists are microscopic and motile. Protists

two factors of solute within a solution and the level of light intensity reflected onto Globby shells. In both experiments, there were instances where Globby was thriving, and other cases where it did not survive depending on the environment of the protist. For example, based on the test results derived from experiment one, it is safe to deduce that Globbies contain a semi-permeable membrane, performing osmosis depending on the concentration of the solute. This result can be deduced due to the trends

Objective: How will adding motor oil to the LJOC affect the organisms living in the jar? Hypothesis: I think that the motor oil will kill a lot of the organisms in the LJOC, but I also think that the organisms that don’t get killed will be able to live in it and eventually become used to it. I think this because oil spills can contaminate water supplies, and the organisms that we will be observing are in the water. I am not sure if the organisms will be affected in the same way humans are affected

Cell Chapter Review for Test Lesson 1 LOD Cell: the smallest unit of a living thing that can carry out basic processes of life N: All living things have cells N: cells have structures called organelles LOD organelles: they work together to perform the basic processes of life N: plants and animals have different kinds of organelles to help them survive N: animals cells need to be more flexible so the animal can move around and they don’t have special organelles to produce their own food so they

of life in the world: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Bacteria and Archaea are both prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are single cell organisms that lack a nucleus in the membrane nor other specialized organelles. For Eukarya it consists of four kingdoms: Protists, Plants, Fungi, and Animalia. The domain consists of organisms with a cell nucleus and other organelles inside a membrane. With these seven kingdoms scientists have been able to edge closer to classifying all organisms in the world, and are exploring

Protists are a microscopic single celled living organism. Protists are eukaryotic. There are multiple different types of protists. All protists have a nucleus and many other cellular structures. One type of protist is an amoeba The amoeba is scientifically known as the Amoebidae. It is mostly a freshwater organism. It is commonly found in ponds, rivers, lakes, and one in a while the ocean or bay. They are typically on leaves of plants so it can find food but you may find it floating to. Amoebas

"How should the unknown organism be classified?". With this question we were presented three known cells and one unknown cell; the known cells were that of cheek cells (taken from group member, animal cell), elodea leaf (plant cell) and a euglena (protist cell). The three known cells were then looked under a microscope at varying degrees of magnification to determine certain traits of each cell.

Biology SBI3U-C Unit 5 Lesson 17 Key Questions: 53. Using the shark anatomy picture and the key provided, classify the 10 sharks labelled 1-10 in the diagram below. 1) Rajidae 2) Alopiidae 3) Pristiophoridae 4) Isuridae 5) Sphrynidea 6) Scapanrhynchidae 7) Hexanchidae 8) Rhinocodontidae 9) Dasyatidae 10) Carcharhindiae 54. Explain what is meant by binomial nomenclature. Binomial nomenclature is a system in which every species has a two-part name. The system is based upon similarities that exist

Pg.284 What are examples of unicellular, filamentous, and colonial green algae? An example of filamentous green algae is the spirogyra. An example of unicellular green algae is the chlymodomonas and the colonial green algae example is volvox. How are green algae different from cyanobacteria? ` Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria while green algae are photosynthetic eukaryotes. Cyanobacteria do not have a nucleus or mitochondria while green algae do. They reproduce asexually while green

Golgi apparatus , an endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes . example of eukaryotic cell The protists Protists are one-celled eukaryotes. However, like every rule in biology, exceptions exist. Sometimes, various seaweeds are grouped with protists, even though they have many cells. The protists include a wide range of organisms. Some are not particularly closely related. n fact, genetics reveals that protists consist of at least ten groups equivalent to kingdoms. To put this

Anna Kuester Ms. Joy Mollenhauer Life Science 11 December 2017 Hydrosera Whampoensis Report The protist I chose was the diatom Hydrosera Whampoensis. I chose this diatom because of its interesting shape. Diatoms are protists that live in water. Different species of diatoms live in different types of water. Diatoms are photosynthetic, which means they make their own food in the same way that plants do. Most diatoms have golden-brown pigment in them. The cell walls of diatoms are made of silica. Silica

The taxonomy of organisms has changed abruptly since new technology has allowed the observation of organisms’ molecular sequence data and phylogenetic relationships. Physical structure, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) similarities, biochemical similarities, evolutionary relationships, and genetic similarities are now commonly used to identify the relationship between organisms in different domains and kingdoms. Bacteria and Archaea, Fungi and Plantae, and Oomycota and Fungi were greatly misclassified

periods we collected an assemblage of plankton and tested whether plankters are actively moving or are passive in bodies of fresh water. While working in paddleboats on the Yellowwood Lake in Brown County, IN, we assembled a collection of samples of protists, rotifers, and arthropods. Before starting our study we produced a null hypothesis: plankters are passive. This null hypothesis predicts, where water is mixing uniformly, plankton distribution will be uniform (Clara Cotton, personal communication

a microbial life is the prokaryotes called bacteria. Bacteria that causes disease are called pathogens. The disease is caused by a poison called exotoxin and endotoxin produced by the bacteria. Another microbial life are protist. They are unicellular eukaryotes. Types of protist includes protozoans and slime molds. Fungi, is also an example of microbial life. They are unicellular or multicellular eukaryotes and are made up of a mass of threadlike hyphae forming mycelium. The cell wall are made from

kingdom is a unicellular just like archaebacteria. It prokaryotic like the archaebacteria. They survive in the same environment as we do like on your fingers, eyelashes, and in your mouth. Some of them have cell wall to help them survive. The Protist kingdom has a nucleus unlike archaebacteria

From long time ago, humans have already desired to understand the origin of the universe and explore its operation. There are many brilliant philosophers or scientists help us to understand the universe, for example, Plato, Aristotle and Isaac Newton contribute a lot in the physical world. In my major course which is life sciences, Charles Darwin, who paid much effort on the biological world, is an important scientist. He suggested the evolution of species was conducted by natural selection, which
