The function of the contractile vacuole in many freshwater protozoans is to:
a) aid in mechanical digestionb) store carbon dioxidec) eliminate wastes such as ammoniad) eliminate excess water
Sponge Bob notices that his pal Gary is suffering from slimotosis, which occurs when the shell
develops a nasty slime and gives off a horrible odor. His friend Patrick tells him that rubbing seaweed
on the shell is the perfect cure, while Sandy says that rubbing Dr. Kelp's solution will be a better cure.
Sponge
Bob decides to test this cure by rubbing Gary with 5 milliliters of seaweed solution on half of his shell
and rubbing 5 milliliters of Dr. Kelp's solution on the other half of Gary's shell. What is the control
variable?
the type of solution
O the absence of slimotosis
the same amount of solution used on both halves of the shell
Please atleast answer this question ?

It cannot swim on its own. It appears to be resistant to physical damage from wave action due to the presence of a glass-like wall. Which of the following organisms would this organism be most like?

The students made four different copper solutions: 0% copper, 0.5% copper, 1% copper, and 2% copper. They poured 200mL of each solution into separate beakers and added 10 Daphnia to each beaker. After 5 days, the students counted how many Daphnia were still alive in each beaker. What is the control treatment in this study?arrow_forward

This strange creature looks like a single-celled swimming ciliate under low magnification. However, the electron microscope reveals that it contains spherical bacteria rather than mitochondria and has on its surface, rather than cilia, hundreads and thousands of spirilla and bacilla bacteria. You are the scientists who first observed this organism. How would you describe this organism- single-celled? Aggregate? Colony? Multicellular? Can the structure of this organism give you any insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells? (Hint: the endosymbiosis hypothesis)arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer the question below. Trichoplax adhaerens (Tp) is the only living species in the phylum Placozoa. Individuals are about 1 mm wide and only 27 um high, are irregularly shaped, and consist of a total of about 2,000 cells, which are diploid (2n= 12). There are four types of cells, none of which are nerve or muscle cells, and none of which have cell walls. They move using cilia, and any "edge" can lead. Tp feeds on marine microbes, mostly unicellular green algae, by crawling atop the algae and trapping it between its ventral surface and the substrate. Enzymes are then secreted onto the algae, and the resulting nutrients are absorbed. Tp sperm cells have never been observed, nor have embryos past the 64-cell (blastula) stage. If Tp sperms are observed by future researchers, how many chromosomes should be found in a Tp sperm nucleus? Select one: O A. 2 O B. 6 O C. 12 O D. 3arrow_forward
- Colonial animals differ from multicellular animals in that some colonies of animals are produced through fission. colonial animals are always unicellular. colonial animals may be genetically different from each other. colonies may consist of physiologically integrated individuals. individuals within a colony have identical functions.arrow_forwardAfter some time, you found out that you did not like working in microbiology lab, so you found a job at an Environmental lab. Some park attendants said that their dogs took a dive in one of the park’s ponds and after few days they became sick. So, you went to the park and took a sample of the water to analyze it.11) To which one of the kingdoms you are expecting to find representative of that caused the dogs to become sick?12) Name the Phylum13) To which class (or group) of organisms they belong to?arrow_forwardDescribe at least one adaptation that allows a) planktonic organisms such as diatoms or jellyfish to stay in the photo zone (where light penetrates the water), and b) marine birds to thrive in the salt marsh/tidal environment.arrow_forward

The cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria is thick, and the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is thin. d. Gram-negative bacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, while Gram-positive bacteria have a cell wall made of phospholipids.arrow_forwardwhich of the following allows multicellular organisms to be more complex than colonial organisms? - differentiation - de-differentiation - aggregationarrow_forwardA clinical microbiologist is studying a microbe that can cause infections and gastrointestinal disease in humans, and which can also survive and reproduce in mice. A dormant cyst form of the microbe infects human hosts through fecal-oral transmission if they come in contact with mouse droppings and don’t wash their hands before eating. The organism grows in long filaments when grown at 20-28 deg C, and forms round/ovoid cells when grown at temperatures above 28 deg C. Sexual reproduction (fusion of haploid gametes) occurs in both humans and mice. A cell wall is present, and cells contain nuclei. This microbe could be which of the following?
