What makes foraminiferans and radiolarians different from amoebas? How do amoebas form? What is the difference between protozoa and helminths? How is the amoeba similar to animal cells? How do euglena reproduce? How are unicellular and multicellular organisms alike?
Toxoplasma gondii. Credit: Wikipedia If you're a cat owner, you might have heard ofToxoplasma gondii, a protozoan that sometimes infects humans through contact with contaminated feces in litterboxes. Although harmless to most people,T. gondiican cause serious illness or death in immunocompromised i...
How do photoautotrophs make energy? How do cells use food energy to grow and reproduce? How does ATP provide energy to a cell? How do cells store energy? How does the carbon cycle deliver energy to organisms? How can prokaryotes perform cellular respiration if they do not have mitochondria...
<p><strong>Step-by-Step Solution:</strong></p><p>1. <strong>Definition of Fission</strong>: - Fission is a type of asexual reproduction primarily observed in unicellular organisms, such as protozoans. It involves the division of a parent organism int
biofilm. Channels in the EPS allow movement of nutrients, waste, and gases throughout the biofilm. This keeps the cells hydrated, preventing desiccation. EPS also shelters organisms in the biofilm from predation by other microbes or cells (e.g., protozoans, white blood cells in the human ...
(glycoproteins) on host cells. Adhesins are present on the fimbriae and flagella of bacteria, the cilia of protozoa, and the capsids or membranes of viruses. Protozoans can also use hooks and barbs for adhesion; spike proteins on viruses also enhance viral adhesion. The production ofglyco...
How fast do earthworms multiply? Young worms grow rapidly and are ready to reproduce inabout one month. Depending on growing conditions, worms may take up to six months to attain full size. Do giraffes have 2 hearts? Three hearts, to be exact. There is a systemic (main) heart. Twolesser...
How do cells use food energy to grow and reproduce? How do autotrophs get energy nutrients? What organelle produces ATP? How does a decomposer get energy? How is H2O2 produced in bacteria? How does the presence of succinate lead to oxygen consumption in the mitochondria?
Why do cells in your body differ from each other? Describe the general life cycle of a protozoan. Explain the importance of each stage in disease transmission and species identification. What is the combination of cellular processes that allow cells to live day to day and to reproduce?
