Amoeba: It is a unicellular protozoan that lacks a definite shape. Live in both fresh water and marine habitats. Some are found in soil, and many have adapted to parasitic life on the body of marine animals or internal organs of both aquatic and terrestrial animals. Amoeba reproduces asexually by binary and multiple fissions. They eat algae, bacteria, other protozoan, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter.
Bacillus: They are rod shaped, gram positive bacteria found in soil and water. The largest are 2m across and 7m long. Most are aerobic but some under certain conditions can be facultative anaerobes. Each bacterium creates only one spore, which is resistant to heat, cold, radiation, desiccation, and disinfectants. Coprinus: It is a small genus of mushrooms that decomposes organic matter in nature. They belong to the kingdom fungi. Coprinus can grow alone or in clusters, lines, or fairy rings on lawns, wood chips, or hard-packed ground. The common fungus is coprinus comatus.

Euglena is a genus of unicellular protists, which belong to the class of Euglenoidea in the phylum of Euglenozoa. Over 1000 species have been identified. They are often found commonly residing in salt and fresh waters. They are asexual and reproduce through cell division. Euglenas typically have an oval shaped, bright green body, with a flagellum attached to the round anterior end for movement while the posterior end is narrower. Euglenas lack a cell wall but instead have a pellicle, which maintains its shape. The central area of the cell contains the nucleus, which contains the DNA, and carries out vital cell activities. Moreover, some Euglena species are unique single-celled microorganisms because they have mixed characteristics similar to both plants and animals. Such as plants, they are able to prepare and consume food

    Organism two is yeast, which is apart of the fungi kingdom, evident due to its small circular transparent cells. Organisms in the fungi kingdom are mostly multicellular eukaryotes that reproduce both sexually and asexually. Fungi are also heterotrophs, meaning they gain energy from the consumption of other organisms. Organism three is a Daphnia which is a common water flea with a transparent body. Daphnias are apart of the Animalia kingdom, making it eukarya. Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are also multicellular eukaryotes that are heterotrophs and reproduce sexually. Organism four is a paramecium which is a single-celled eukaryote with an evident nucleus in the center of the cell. Parameciums are apart of the Protista kingdom and are mostly unicellular eukaryotes. Organisms such as parameciums in the Protista kingdom also reproduce both sexually and asexually while also being both heterotrophs and autotrophs. Lastly, organism five, also known as Euglena, is a unicellular eukaryote that is also apart of the Protista kingdom. Euglenas also reproduce asexually and are…

    Fungi - Fungi (singular is fungus) are a very large and diverse group of eukaryotic, spore bearing organisms that include several thousand species. Yeasts, molds and mushrooms are all fungi, but are not microbes. Fungi obtain their energy by absorption of simple organic compounds found in soil and water. Although fungi play an important, major role in the breakdown of dead organic matter in the environments where they grow as well as being a food source, it is vital to remember that some fungi are pathogenic and can cause disease in animals and humans.…

    We identified the eubranchipus, a organism with similar characteristics to one of a shrimp. Another name for it would be the fairy shrimp. During this observation, only two eubranchipus were identified. We did not have as many eubranchipus as the other groups but we were able to put one under the microscope. This organism has very fast movement and many legs. Another observation we made was that they swim upside down instead of right side up. Bothe of he fairy shrimps were translucent. The colors of them are determined by the food supply of their environment. These organisms started off as dried out eggs but as soon was we added tap water, it made food sources available in order to survive , therefore allowing the eggs to hatch. On the fifth observation, one of our eubranchipus died as another one grew bigger. The surviving shrimp started off as being 0.8 cm and increased to 1.2 cm. This is probably because of the lack of resources and competition - survival of the fittest. Less protist of the same size were found and the water was more still due to the limited organisms living in it. The population of protists are decreasing because it is the food source of the eubranchipus (also cynobacteria). Again, this is because of the existence of a food…

    This experiment was conducted by using the green algae: Ankistrodesmus and Chorella. Most species of green algae live in shallow freshwater environments. The can live on moist rocks, trees, and soil; some can inhabit shallow ocean waters. Green algae usually occur as single cells or as multi-cellular, threadlike filaments, hollow balls, or flat sheets (Postlethwait and Hopson).…

    Bacteria come in 3 main shapes; spherical which are known as cocci, rod shaped which are known as bacilli or vibrio, spiral which is known as spirilla or spirochetes. Bacteria is found in everything for e.g. soil, water, animals, plants, radioactive waste. The only place they aren’t found is where humans have sterilised. They can cause illnesses like tuberculosis, tonsillitis, and laryngitis and food poisoning…
