Why do unicellular organisms are used as laboratory models? Cite some examples.
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

- 0 Question 14 You are working on a summer internship with a famous marine scientist. Your job is to use your microscope to examine and identify specimens based on morphology. You also have some chemical analysis result. While examining a specimen, you notice: • it contains collagen and proteogylcans • it has three tissue layers, but no coelom • it was observed as a parasite inside the tissues of another organism you collected Which of the following taxonomic groups best matches this description?

This is possible because they are specialized to use properties exhibited by all cells. These properties include ... A) Separation of the fluid environments inside and outside the cell B) Active transport of Na+ out of and K+ into the cell. C) Portal proteins that allow diffusion of Na+ and K+ back in to the cell D) Maintaining unequal Na+ and K+ concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. E) All of these are true Explain whyarrow_forwardOne organism found in a termite’s gut is Mixotrichia paradoxa. 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_forward
