    The aim of the data analysis exercise was to determine genetic relationships between the HSP70 amino acid chains of fourteen different organisms. The data produced was an identification table, a sequence alignment diagram and a cladogram. In cladograms the branches are not representative of the evolutionary time that has occurred. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are in a class of proteins called molecular chaperones. (Kiang, J.; G, Tsokos. 1998). They are present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes,…

    But, there are ways to stop cosmetic testing on animals. The University of Liverpool suggest that protozoa may be the key to cruelty free cosmetics. According to ecologist David Montages, protozoa, the cheap and abundant single celled organism, has enough genes in common with humans to make them good trial subjects.With the use of this organism it would be cheaper to conduct tests, and tests would…

    For this case study, it was important to note that the patient had been experiencing these reactions after receiving a bug bite. The fact that she was located in El Salvador is also useful information. It was interesting to find out that although her symptoms were somewhat mild, others could experience far worse symptoms such as enlarged liver, spleen, and heart. These bits of information, along with the fact that she experienced fever, red skin rash, and extreme swelling around her eye, led me…

    Paramecia, unicellular cilliated protozoa, usually are ovoid and elongated. They widespread in brackish environments and freshwater. Length of the species are various ranging from 50 micrometers to 330 micrometers. They feed on yeasts, algae, and small protozoa which are captured by them through phagocytosis, devouring a particle by “wrapping pseudopodia around it and packaging it within a food vacuole” (Campbell and Reece 2011). They also serve as the models for the study of basic biological…

    the dangerous health effects on the human body caused by an infection of the parasite. What is Naegleria Fowleri? Naegleria Fowleri, more commonly known as the “brain-eating amoeba,” are “microscopic, single-celled organisms called protozoa” (Viegas 5). Not all protozoa are parasitic in nature, and this is especially true of the Naegleria genus. There are only a few species of Naegleria that are parasitic, and of those species, only N. fowleri is known to infect…

    multicellular organisms, such as humans, morphing into extracellular digestion, digestive systems have had to evolve with us so that our bodies allow us to easily absorb nutrients from our food. The simplest digestive system takes place in the subkingdom Protozoa, where organisms are made up of only a single cell. The mode of digestion is always intracellular, meaning that food particles or liquid foods are ingested into a cell by Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis processes respectively, because it…

On the outside of the Paramecium you can find the radiatin canal and a contractile vacuole. The cytoplasm, food vacuoles, the macronucleus, and the micronucleus are located inside. Another characteristic of them is that they move faster than other protists. They live in aquatic environments, but most usual in…
