Microbes

Microbes are microscopic living organisms that can only be detected with the help of specialized laboratory equipment called a microscope. These living organisms are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye.

Question

Explain the differences between cyanobacteria and algae.
What are the differences between paramecium, amoeba, and euglena?

Expert Solution

Introduction:

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that can be found in both freshwater and marine ecosystems.
Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms ranging in size from single-celled algae to large seaweeds.
Freshwater ecosystems are frequently home to the single-celled protist known as Paramecium, which is distinguished by its distinctive slipper shape and cilia.
A class of single-celled protists known as amoeba uses pseudopodia, or transient projections of their cell membrane, to move and feed.
The freshwater flagellate Euglena is a single-celled organism that is renowned for having the ability to switch between autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition.

In the diagram below, identify the structures of a cyanobacterial cell based on the following descriptions: a) Outer cellular covering which includes: Mucilaginous layer – outermost layer covering the cell wall; protects the cell from harmful factors of the environment Cell wall – found just below the mucilaginous layer; 2 or 3-layered, the inner layer lies in between the outer wall layer and plasma membrane; the outer layer is made of peptidoglycan Innermost plasma membrane – selectively permeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm b) Cytoplasm – found below the plasma membrane; the protoplasm which contains structures of different shapes and functions. Lamellae, which contain pigments such as chlorophylls, carotenes, xanthophylls, phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, are located in the peripheral region of cytoplasm. Ribosomes may also be found scattered in the cytoplasm. c) Nucleic material – the nucleoplasm that is centrally located in the cell and contains chromatin in the form…
