FOCUS ON EVOLUTION
Paramecium and other unicellular eukaryotes that live in hypotonic environments have cell membranes that limit water uptake, while those living in isotonic environments have membranes that are more permeable to water. Describe what water regulation adaptations might have evolved in unicellular eukaryotes in hypertonic habitats such as the Great Salt Lake and in habitats with changing salt concentration.

- Using the appropriate osmotic terms (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) describe what would happen to each organism in the following settings: A single-celled freshwater protist is placed into a beaker of salt water. A salt-water snail is mistakenly put into a freshwater tank. A head of lettuce is placed soaked in a sink of salt water. A bunch of carrots are placed soaked a sink of distilled water.arrow_forward3 Diagram A below illustrates schematically a classic experiment designed to test the chemi- osmotic hypothesis. Phospholipid vesicles were made to contain beef heart mitochondrial ATP syn- thase and bacteriorhodopsin, a light driven proton pump isolated from Halobacterium holobium. Under light illumination, proton translocation by bacteriorhodopsin results in ATP synthesis when ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are added to the suspension of vesicles.

- Investigating 2 newly discovered unicellular species. Species 1 was isolated from the hot springs with an average water temperature of 92 degrees Celsius. Species 2 was isolated with an average water temperature of 8 degrees Celsius. You extract and measure the amount of desaturase protein from both species. State what you expect to observe with regards to desaturase levels in Species 2 compared to Species 1. (Refer to membrane fluidity and include an explanation of the differences in the structure of fatty acid chains).arrow_forwardParamecia live mostly in freshwater and move with the use of structures called cilia. They utilize contractile vacuoles to expel water that enters the cell by osmosis. Euglena are unicellular organisms that use flagella for movement and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. They are found in freshwater and saltwater. Scientists have determined that Paramecia and Euglena are eukaryotes and not prokaryotes because they havearrow_forwardName the organism in this picture .
