Microbiologist classify protists by observing their method of obtaining energy.

Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move. Some protists use cilia to move, while some other use cytoplasmic streaming or flagellum.

As we already know, heterotrophic protists are animal-like in extracting energy for food. What does it mean when a protist is "heterotrophic"?

Heterotrophic protists are protists that have to move to find their food, and eat smaller organisms to survive. Sometimes, these types of protists eat each other, or other protists.

Heterotrophic protists are protists that do not have to move to fin their own food, rather, these protists can perform photosynthesis which allows for these types of protists to create their own food.

Autotrophic protists are protists that can move to find their own food, and eat smaller organisms to survive, can produce photosynthesis to create their own food, and feed off of decaying matter which can include dead trees.

As we already know, protists are eukaryotic meaning

Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that have a nucleus organelle. This means that the DNA inside the cell is inside the nucleus.

Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that lack a nucleus organelle. This means tat the DNA inside the cell is free floating.

The amoeba would not be able to release food waste. The function of the food vacuole is to be able to release the waste from an amoeba.

The amoeba would not be able to function properly. The food vacuole is the food that is in storage while the amoeba is continuing to feed.

The amoeba would not be able to reproduce through binary fission, which would result in the extinction of the amoeba!

The euglena and volvox are part of the plant-like protists. Which of the following organelles is responsible for identifying this protists to be plant-like in nature?

Cilia & Chloroplasts are both found in the euglena and volvox which is responsible for identifying these protists to be plant-like in nature.

How does the euglena know how to detect light during the daytime?

The euglena can sense light with its eyespot (stigma), which allows the euglena to sense light.

The euglena can sense light with its flagellum, which allows the euglena to move towards the light.

The euglena can sense light with its chloroplasts, within which the chloroplast allows the cell to create its own food through photosynthesis

The euglena uses its pellicle to squiggle and squirm its way towards the sunlight, within which the pellicle can detect sunlight, and allow the cell to move towards the sunlight.

The animal-like protist, called the paramecium, lives in water. The paramecium can move in the water by using tiny hairlike structures called?

Parameciums use a tiny hairlike structure called cilia to move throughout its watery environment.

Parameciums use a tiny hairlike structure called a flagella to move throughout its watery environment.

Parameciums use a tiny hairlike structure called pseudopods to move throughout its watery environment.

Parameciums use a tiny hairlike structure called a pellicle to move throughout its watery environment.

How does a euglena move?

Flagella - a whip-like structure that allows the euglena to move around its watery environment.

Cilia - many tiny hair-like structures that allow the euglena to move around its watery environment.

pseudopods - aka false foot, euglena use cytoplasmic streaming which creates pseudopods to move around.

Are euglena considered a heterotroph, autotroph, or decomposer?

Autotrophic - meaning they can create their own food by using chloroplasts.

Heterotrophic - meaning they have to go search for their food.

Decomposer - meaning they eat off of dead, rotting matter.

If you look at pond water under a microscope, how can you identify an amoebic protist?

We can identify an amoebic protist by identifying how it moves, and how it can obtain its energy.

We can identify an amoebic protist by seeing how they ingest food, and how they release the waste.

We can identify an amoebic protist by seeing where It lives, and how it affects humans

Which of the following events would occur if plant cells could not perform the life process of cellular respiration?

Plant cells make their own carbohydrates, in turn, plant cells would not be able to create their own carbohydrates. The cells would starve, and die if they could not perform the life process of cellular respiration.

Plant cells reproduce by the nucleus, in turn, the plant cells would not be able to reproduce. The cells would eventually go extinct if they could not perform the life process of cellular respiration.

Plant cells have cytoplasm that holds all the cells organelles in place, in turn, plant cells would not be able to hold the organelles together. The plant cells would eventually dry up, and die if they could not perform the life process of cellular respiration.

none of the answers are correct

Why do you think the nucleus is so important inside the eukaryotic animal cell?

The nucleus is important in that it contains the chromosomes and DNA. The nucleus is responsible for cellular division, within which it replicates the DNA, and creates a new cell.

The nucleus is important in that it is the storage area for food. The food storage area is made by the nucleus, and aids in the transport of vital minerals that break down food.

The nucleus is important in that it breaks down energy and releases it to the cell. The nucleus is know as the “powerhouse” of the cell, within which it provides the cell with cellular respiration.

The nucleus is important in that it receives the proteins from other organelles, breaks them down, and distributes energy to the cell.

Chloroplasts are very important within a plant cell. How are chloroplasts vital in maintaining life functions for plant cell activity?

Chloroplasts are an organelle in the plant cell that captures energy from sunlight, and changes it to an energy from that plant cell can use in making food. This process can be commonly known as photosynthesis.

Chloroplasts provide the plant cell with a thin flexible membrane that surrounds the cell. The cell is able to allow certain materials inside the cell, and release water material outside the cell.

Chloroplasts provide the plant cell with a gel-like fluid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The chloroplasts allow for movement within the plant cell.

Chloroplasts are a rod shaped organelle that converts DNA replication occur. The Chloroplasts allow for cellular division by mitosis.

Why is the circulatory system important?

It transports blood throughout the body

It helps the body absorb food and nutrients

It protects the body from illness

What is the function of the muscle tissues in your heart?

The cardiovascular system makes cells while the respiratory system moves them where they are suppose to go.

The cardiovascular system allows the body to have energy while the repiratory system makes cells

The cardiovascular system transports nutrients around the body while the respiratory system brings oxygen into the body

How does the muscular system and the skeletal system work together?

The muscular system allows the body to move and the skeletal system gives the body a structure

The muscular system allows the body to stand up while the skeletal system allows the body to move

The muscular system gives the body nutrients while the skeletal system gives the body blood

The skeletal system makes cells whilte the muscular system eats them.

How does the circulatory system and the skeletal system work together?

the skeletal system makes cells while the circulatory system transports them where the need to go

the circulatory system makes cells while the skeletal system transports the cells where the need to go
