What type of living thing is Euglena?

Protista

Some members of Kingdom Protista are unicellular, others are colonial, and yet others are multicellular. Note that in the colonial forms, all the cells are similar with similar, generalized functions, whereas in the truly multicellular species, the “body” of the organism consists of a variety of types of cells, each type with its own specialized function. These organisms are all eukaryotes (they have a true nucleus). They all need some kind of a water-based environment--which can be fresh or marine water, snow, damp soil, polar bear hairs--in which to live. All are aerobic and have mitochondria to do cellular respiration, and some have chloroplasts and can do photosynthesis. Most of them reproduce or grow by mitosis, and some reproduce by meiosis and fertilization. Many can form cysts in adverse conditions. Protists are a major component of plankton.

Protists are grouped into three major, unofficial categories based on means by which they obtain nutrition. These are the Protozoa, the Algae, and the Fungus-like Protists. For some reason, botanists use the word “Division” to mean the same taxonomic level as “Phylum”, and since, way back everything was lumped in as either a plant or an animal, taxonomists who study Kingdom Protista (and those who study Kingdom Fungi) also still use the word “Division” to mean “Phylum”, so for example, when “Division Rhizopoda” is listed below, that means the same thing as saying “Phylum Rhizopoda”.

Algal Protists

These protists are photosynthetic; their nutrition is plant-like. Almost all of them have chlorophyll A, most have chlorophyll C, but only a few have chlorophyll B. They also have a variety of carotenoids and other pigments, and frequently they are grouped into Divisions based on similarities in pigments.

Division Euglenophyta:

Probably the best-known example of this Division is genus Euglena. Each of these organisms has a flagellum on its anterior end, and this is used to propel the organism. They have chloroplast and, when in the light, do photosynthesis. If they are not in the light, they can also obtain nutrition by phagocytosis. To help them sense light (which they then move toward), Euglena have a light-sensitive “eyespot” or stigma near their anterior ends. This is not a true eye, in that it cannot do any image formation, but rather it is a photoreceptor which senses the light level in the organism’s environment.

Division Chlorophyta:

These protists are also known as the “green algae.” Their chloroplasts and the pigments therein are similar to plants (this is about the only group of algae with chlorophyll B), thus it is thought that the green algae may be the evolutionary ancestors of plants. Various species of green algae may be found in a variety of environments including both fresh and salt water, damp soil, the surface of snow, and within other organisms (lichens, hydra, polar bear hair). Chlamydomonas are unicellular and contain an eyespot (stigma), a chloroplast, two flagella, and a nucleus.

Volvox are colonial and often contain darker green daughter colonies inside. Each cell posesses two flagella, enabling the colony to be mobile. There is an intercellular matrix holding the colony of cells together.

Ulva is called Sea Lettuce. This is truely multicellular, with a division of labor among the various cells, and is macroscopic. The “body” is two cells thick, and there is a specially-modified “holdfast” to anchor the organism to the ocean floor. Its life cycle includes both 1n and 2n stages (see below).

Closterium is a member of the sub-group called the Desmids. Some desmids form colonies, but Closterium is solitary. Its nucleus is in the center with a cone-shaped chloroplast on each side. Each chloroplast contains a series of starch-storage organelles called pyrenoids In living Closterium, each end of the cell bears a small vacuole containing several gypsum grains which “dance” by Brownian motion.

Spirogyra are colonial, being organized into long filaments. Each cell contains a spiral chloroplast with pyrenoids (used to store starch) and a nucleus. They have conjugation--a type of sexual reproduction in which the contents of the male gamete cell go over into the female cell.

Many green algae, especially the multicellular ones, have both sexual and asexual stages in their life cycles, thus we must re-introduce the idea of Alternation of Generations we discussed along with meiosis. When we first discussed Alternation of Generations, we looked at a very simple diagram in which adults produced 1n gametes by meiosis, and those gametes joined by syngamy to form a new 2n generation. In reality in algae and plants, there are a few more stages in the process, thus we now need to re-visit this cycle. The 2n generation, which in humans is called an “adult,” in algae and plants is called a sporophyte because it produces spores. Within specialized reproductive structures in/on t

infusoria is made from putting a piece of vegetable matter in water for about a week. basically what begins to eat the potato are these microorganisms called paramecia or infusoria. these are fed to newly hatched fish. you can google how to make it. I tried making it and used it for a little while but my fry grew a bit bigger which is why I'm feeding them frozen baby brine shrimp. some other live foods are micro worms. petsmart also sells a fine powder for baby fish. You could also crush flakes in your palm. I'm new to baby fish also so I don't know everything about fry foods. good luck.

Im osrry but this is not an answer.

but ill gues

it sounds like a bacteria
