How do humans utilize the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiase?

...

how do ciliate eat

Ciliates eat with their vacuole.

How do ciliates move?

Ciliates, a unicellular protozoa, use their cilia, tiny hair-like organelles, to move around.

Fungi

Fungi are usually motionless organisms that absorb nutrients for survival. They include mushrooms, molds, and yeasts.

What illness does Trypanosome cause

Human African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness

5 kingdoms

Monera: Bacteria. They are prokaryotic and unicellular. They are mobile. protista: Protists. They are eukaryotic. Either autotrophic, heterotrophic, or even mixotrophic. They live live as unicellular, multicellular, or even as a colony. Some are mobile while some are sessile. animalia: Animals. Eukaryotic and are heterotrophic. They are all multicellular and are mobile. plantae: Plants. Eukaryotic and mostly autotrophic (some parasitic plants are heterotrophic). They are multicellular and sessile. fungi: Mushrooms, fungus, etc. Eukaryotic and heterotrophic. They are multicellular and sessile.

Monera

Monera are single-celled organisms that don't have a nucleus. Bacteria make up the entire kingdom. There are more forms of bacteria than any other organism on Earth. Some bacteria are beneficial to us, such as the ones found in yogurt. Others can cause us to get sick.

Plants

Plants contain chlorophyll, a green pigment necessary for photosynthesis, a process in which plants convert energy from sunlight into food. Their cell walls are made sturdy by a material called cellulose, and they are fixed in one place. Plants are divided into two groups: flower- and fruit-producing plants and those that don't produce flowers or fruits. They include garden flowers, agricultural crops, grasses, shrubs, ferns, mosses, and conifers.

Protists

Protists are mostly single-celled organisms that have a nucleus. They usually live in water. Some protists move around, while others stay in one place. Examples of protists include some algae, paramecium, and amoeba.

Are Spirogyra unicellular, colonial, filamentous, or multicellular

Unicellular - Chlamydomonas species. Filaments - Spirogyra, Cladophora, Ulothrix , Oedogonium Colonial Green algae - Gonium, Pandorina, and Pediastrum

What is meant by a sac fungus?

any of various ascomycetous fungi in which the spores are formed in a sac or ascus

How do Euglena move

euglena move by their long flagellum

What are protists

free-living or colonial organisms with diverse nutritional and reproductive modes

How do amoeba move?

use pseudopodia (cytoplasmic extensions)

Are yeast unicellular or multicellular?

yeast is a unicellular cell as is reproduces by asexual reproduction

Are algae photosynthetic?

yes

Are euglena photosynthetic?

yes

What is an amoeba?

animal like protist, unicellular, irregular shape, moves with "false feet"

Are algae unicellular, colonial, filamentous, or multicellular?

Algae can be unicellular or multicellular, depending on what type of algae it is. The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that individual organisms from a colony can, if separated, survive on their own, while cells from a multicellular lifeform (e.g., cells from abrain) cannot.

How do amoeba feed

Amoebae feed through phagocytosis, a processes which engulfs solid food sources through the cell membrane by use of an internal food vacuole. Amoebas find food with their pseudopods

Animals

Animals are the most complex organisms on Earth. Animals are multi-celled organisms, eat food for survival, and have nervous systems. They are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates and include mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds and fish. Actually, there are now six kingdoms. The five kingdom was during the 1969 and it included all the bacterias within one group. The five kingdom system is as follows:

What is meant by zygote-forming fungi?

Definition: a phylum of fungicoextensive with the division Zygomycota Class: plant noun Singular: zygote fungus

What is the role of contractile vacuoles and food vacuoles?

It is an essential mineral in many species. It is used in the structure of bones and teeth in animals, as well as in blood clotting. Calcium carbonate helps create exoskeletons. Calcium ions are essential in synaptic transmission and muscle contraction. In plants: cell wall formation btwn dividing plant cells

What compound is extracted from the bread mold Penicillium?

One such compound is patulin, produced by the plant pathogen Penicillium expansum that causes apples to rot. For this reason, it is unwise for a person to eat moldy apples. Several species are pathogens of plants, but many others will grow on stored food such as cereal, as well as fruit and vegetables kept in a refrigerator.

What is a protozoan?

Single-celled, animal-like, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Protista. Protozoans can occur wherever moisture exists. There are many parasites and commensals of plants and animals, as well as free-living species. They cause a number of diseases, such as African sleeping sickness, malaria, and dysentery. They are an economically and scientifically important group. It is thought that the organisms of the kingdom Animalia evolved from ancestors which were protozoans.

What are examples of protists?

Slime molds and algae are protists

Are Spirogyra unicellular, colonial, filamentous, or multicellular?

Spirogyra is a freshwater, filamentous, green algae found in ponds and lakes. It is multicellular, with cells arranged end to end. Each cell of this unbranched filamentous algae has a single spherical nucleus; pyrenoids which store starch and

Is volovox unicellular or colonial?

Volvox are colonial, multicellular organisms.

What is the difference between red, green, and brown algae?

Yes, Brown algae differs from Red and Green algae because Brown algae is used as a thickener in alot of foods. Red and Green algae are used for most of the time for fish and other underwater animals to eat.

What is an example of a zygote forming fungus?

Zygomycota is referred to as zygote fungi. It is a phylum of fungi. There are approximately 1,060 species that are known to man. They live on animal material, decaying plants, and in soil. However, some are parasites of insects, plants, and small animals. The zygote fungi belong to the zygomycetes class. Zygomycetes can grow in many environments. For example, some can grow under anaerobic conditions. The fungi belongs to the mucoromycotina, kickxellomycotina, enthomophoromycotina, and zygomycotina orders.

What is a ciliate?

a single-celled animal of a phylum distinguished by the possession of cilia or ciliary structures. The ciliates are a large and diverse group of advanced protozoans.

What is a Trypanosome?

a single-celled parasitic protozoan with a trailing flagellum, infesting the blood

How do protists reproduce?

protists can reproduce sexually or asexually through mitosis, meiosis or cell division
