What else can I help you with?
An example of colonial protists?
An example of colonial protists is Volvox, which forms spherical colonies of individual cells that work together to swim and photosynthesize. These colonies can consist of hundreds of individual cells, each with a specific role in the organism's functioning.
How many individual cells make up a Volvox colony?
500-50,000 individual cells
Are green algae multicellular?
Green Algae is unicellular because it only grows on non-vascular plants which are plants with no tubes to carry nu trains and oxygen.
Which protists surrounds and engulfs its food?
Amoebas are protists that use pseudopods to surround and engulf their food through a process called phagocytosis. The pseudopods extend to capture the food particle and then enclose it within a food vacuole for digestion.
Describe an organism that exists as a group of cells?
A jellyfish is an organism that exists as a group of cells. It has specialized cells that work together to perform specific functions such as swimming, eating, and reproducing. Each cell in the jellyfish plays a specific role in maintaining the overall structure and function of the organism.
What are some examples of a uni cellular organisms?
Answer: Stentor, Anabaena, Volvox, Oedogonium, Chorella, Chlamydomonas, E.
Describe the structures of Chlamydomonas and Volvox and contrast how they reproduce?
Chlamydomonas are single-celled organism with 2 apical flagella which are absorbed before cell division. Volvox are multicellular organisms that have 2 cell types. They are composed of about 2000 somatic cells that resemble Chlamydomonas and form a spherical shell that also moves the organism using the flagella. Inside the shell resides gonidia which can divide to form a new organism. Also, the somatic cells that resemble Chlamydomonas can not divide like Chlamydomonas, thus the importance of the gonidia.
What is the difference between volvox and other protozoa?
Volvox may be considered to be both unicellular and multicellular. It resembles the one-celled organism "Chlamydomonas." Volvox also has characteristics from those of a colony because most of the cells are similiar. It also has specialized reproductive cells and the two ends of the colony are different.
Is algae unicellular or multicellular?
Depending up on its form an alga may be unicellular like Chlamydomonas to multi-cellular like Volvox. More higher forms of algae are filamentous and even branched.
What advantages does multicellular volvox have over unicellular chlamydomonas?
Multicellular Volvox has increased size and complexity compared to unicellular Chlamydomonas, allowing for more diverse functions to be carried out by specialized cells. Volvox also benefits from cooperation among cells, enabling division of labor and enhanced reproductive capabilities through the production of both somatic and reproductive cells. Additionally, the multicellularity of Volvox provides protection and support for individual cells, leading to increased survival and ecological success.
What is the important of volvox?
the importance of the volvox is that it helps by eating bacteria. bateria makes us sick. so the volvox basically eats sickness!!! lisa baylor
Where is the protest volvox found in?
Volvox lives in freshwater habitats.
What group of animals does volvox belong to?
the volvox is part of the allgae family
What organelle plays a vital role in a volvox's ability to undergo photosynthesis?
the chloroplast
What are the differences between the euglena ameba and volvox?
An euglena has a flagellum; a volvox does not. A volvox has a gonidium; an euglena doesn't. An euglena has a stigma; a volvoxdoes not.a volvox has a lot of characteristics an euglena does not, and an euglena has a lot of characteristics a volvox does not. Unfortuneatly, I do not know the rest of the other unique characteristics that a volvox, or an euglena has that are different from each other. You must go to google to find the rest. Or bing, or ask.com.
What is the scientififc classification of volvox?
what is the classification of volvox Protista, Chlorophyta, chlorophyceae, volvocales
What is the scientific name of volvox?
The scientific name of Volvox is Volvox carteri. Volvox is a genus of green algae that forms spherical colonies. Each colony is made up of numerous individual cells that work together in a coordinated manner, exhibiting characteristics of both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
