Protist

Protists are expressed to be the first eukaryotic organisms. The reason they are considered to be the first is because they are organisms that don’t usually fit into natural grouping. However, protists are grouped together with either plants, animals, or fungi based on their characteristic that they mostly resemble. Protists are also cells with nuclei that can be classified in many different ways. The ways they can be classified are based on their feeding, reproduction, movement, and other features that they use. Different protists feed in many different ways. One way that protists can feed is similar to the way humans eat which is by digesting there nutrients. The way this form of protists digests there food is internally. Another, way…

Pathogens may be viruses, bacteria, protists, or fungi they are just microorganisms that can cause diseases. Bacteria are microscopic and once bacteria find their way into the body they release toxins that make us feel sick. Examples of bacterial infections are cholera, typhoid, food poisoning, and gonorrhea. Although bacteria are very small viruses are much smaller, they are among the smallest organisms we know of. Viruses not only enter the body but they enter cells and reproduce inside cells,…

Based on evidence, if a Protist could “protest” and be reclassified into another kingdom, which Protist could you help make the most convincing argument? To begin with, “Protista kingdom is sometimes called the, “junk drawer kingdom,” for the classification of living things. (Art. 1) When an organism’s characteristics do not quite fit into the fungus, plant, or animal kingdoms, they get classified into the Protist kingdom.(Article 1)”When scientists can’t figure out where to put organisms…

bacteria because it was the rod-shape like bacteria. It also had pili and a flagellum. It has all the parts that are needed for a regular bacteria cell meaning that it is bacteria. [Plus, it’s got it in its name ;)] 2.) Salmonella-I knew this was Salmonella because it was rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the crystal violet dye used in the gram staining method due to the fact that they have cell walls that are thin. Gram-negative bacteria are often…

The human body is protected against infections by the immune system. The disease occurs when the normal function of tissue is impaired. Health organizations have for a long time tried to understand all causal agents of diseases as fight strategies against these agents including understanding surviving strategies, their cycle, and multiplicity once they infect a human being. This has facilitated discovery of therapeutic drugs for various diseases (Klepac et al., 2013). Vaccination against…

Purpose: To observe different species of living protists in pond water under the microscope. Taking note of their size, movements, and characteristics to classify the different types of protists from applying previous knowledge of protists. Materials: The materials in this lab that will be needed are a microscope, slide, coverslips, a pipette, and a dish of pond water. Procedure: Prepare a slide by using the pipette to apply two drops of pond water on a slide and properly place a…

Paramecium is a single-celled protist from the Alveolate clade. They live in wet environments like lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and puddles. The wet environment can even be inside of animal bodies and in moist soil. Paramecium are heterotrophs, meaning they eat other living or non-living things. They eat by trapping food inside of their oral grooves, which are basically mouths. They use cilia on their body to not only move, but also help capture their prey. When the food gets into the oral…

common (4 required). Please include pictures of different types of fungi and their characteristics. b. Give 2 examples of diseases caused by fungi (2 required) and describe the specific fungi that causes the disease, how it is transmitted, and the symptoms. Please include pictures of either the example fungi or symptoms of the specific infections. c. Describe how fungal infections are treated and strategies for prevention. How do these scientifically proven methods prevent or treat the…

time it would transfer genes that absorbed bacteria became an important part of protist. 2) A complex process called endosymbiosis is absorbing living things to create something new in biology. 3) It was only one microscopic protist that made the color…

There will be more solute outside of the cell than inside, the so the water will move outside of the cell. They will cause the plant cell to undergo plasmolysis, which can lead to plant death. A plant may prevent this from happening by taking in the salt and storing it in a vacuole where it cannot harm the cell. By taking in solute, the plant will also draw in water, because solute is going into the cell. The plant may also have ways to store water and will try to minimize contact with the sun…
