Paramecium -- Paramecia are quite large, straw-colored, slipper-shaped and move
rapidly, and they are thus very noticeable. If there are Paramecia in your field of view you
probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both
finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so
they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the
entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide
and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even
"escape" the coverslip at its edges. The trick to slowing the Paramecia is to mix a drop of
methyl cellulose with a drop of the cell culture, as…

- The prtists that causes malaria evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor and has the remnant of a chloroplast. The organelle no longer functions in photosynthesis, but it remains essential to the protist. Why might targeting this organelle yield an antimalarial drug that produces minimal side effects in humans?arrow_forwardAmoeba is a single cell prokaryote O True O Falsearrow_forwardDinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists. Dinoflagellates are bioluminescent, but only at night. During the day, they carry out photosynthesis similar to other autotrophs. At night, however, they bioluminesce every time they are disturbed. They are often seen in the wakes of ships at night. While the reason for this bioluminescence is not fully understood, many scientists concur that it is a form of self-defense. If small fish begin to feed upon the protists, the protists will begin to bioluminesce. These flashes of light in the dark water can alert larger fish and draw them towards the small fish, upon which they prey. By making the small fish vulnerable, the dinoflagellates are able to protect themselves. Based on the information above, a researcher decides to design an experiment in which she is testing how long it takes for dinoflagellates to recover after different amounts of disturbance. She maintains 10 containers of dinoflagellates with similar temperature, salinity and…arrow_forward
