    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…

    Guests to Japan may spot an animal resembling a spider. This creature is the spider crab, a Japanese member of the Inachidae family. The Japanese spider crab is a threatened species, terrorized by humans eating them. Albeit not the heaviest, the Japanese spider crab is the biggest known living arthropod. The very much calcified carapace is just around 37 centimeters in length, HOWEVER grown-up examples can be about 4 meters in length from one tip of one to the next cheliped When extended separated. The carapace of Macrocheira kaempferi is sub-roundabout and pear-formed, smaller towards the head. Females have a tendency to have more extensive, albeit marginally littler, mid-regions than guys. Sharp and thickset tubercles cover the carapace,…

    There are 4 groupings of protozoans. The Amoeba called the Sarcodines and the Flagellates called the Mastigotes are sometimes linked into one group called the Sarcomastigotes because of similar features. The Ciliates are about as complicated as single cells can be. The Sporozoans tend to be tiny parasites, often living inside other cells, but are also pretty complicated.…

    Among the Entamoeba family, E. histolytica is the most invasive. This eukaryotic organism has some atypical characteristics such as: lack of organelles, no endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. The cyst is usually spherical with the size that ranges from 10-20μm. In a mature cyst there are four nucleuses while in an immature cyst there are 1-2 which are occasionally seen. Its karyosomal chromatin is small, discrete and usually central and the chromatoidal body is elongated with bluntly rounded ends. Its glycogen is usually diffuse; concentrated mass often present in young cysts; and stains reddish brown with iodine. The trophozoite is about 10-60 μm; possess a progressive motility with a single nucleus. Its karyosomal chromatin is small and usually central but often eccentric. It also has ingested red blood cells.…

    The protostome grouping consists of Nematoda, Onychophora, Arthropoda, Platyhelminthes, Brachiopoda, Mollusca, and Annelida. Nematoda, Onychophora, and Arthropoda are classified and the Ecdysozoa group. Platyhelminthes, Brachiopoda, Mollusca, and Annelida are classified as the Lophotrochozoans. Possessing the traits of a psuedocoelomate and thrashing, was Nematoda. Although classified low on the cladogram, Nematoda are highly diverse and complex metazoans (Paul De Ley). Onychophora, and Arthropoda share the trait of segmentation, but Arthropoda additionally possess an exoskeleton made of chitin, jointed appendages, and a segmented thorax, abdomen, and head. Onychophora (velvet worms) have a character…

    Brain Eating Amoeba

    They are shapeless, and the largest of these organisms may grow to a size of 1 mm. Amoeba mostly thrive in moist environmental conditions, such as soil, bottom of freshwater ponds, puddles, streams, and seawater, or as parasites in animals, including humans. The cells of the amoeba contain special features. Their cytoplasm and cellular contents are enclosed within a cell membrane. Their DNA is packaged into the nucleus. Finally, they contain specialized structures called organelles, which execute a range of cellular functions including energy production and protein transport. It is interesting to know how an amoeba moves itself because the process is completely different from normal locomotion process of other living beings. An amoeba propels itself by changing the structure of its body. Basically it's the cytoplasm and its variation that helps aid in locomotion of the organism. Amoeba also extends the sides of its body to help rise special structures known as pseudopods, which enables it to "drag" itself. These extended structures, known as pseudopodium not only aid in locomotion but also help in capturing prey. When the cytoplasma flows towards the end, the pseudopodium also extends and the amoeba drags itself. The pseudopodium is also referred to as false feet and it can develop from any part of the body. It grows in size and engulfs its prey by a technique known as phagocytosis. They shrink when…

    Protists are an eclectic group of eukaryotic organisms. Imagine the creatures belonging to the other eukaryotic kingdoms telling protists, “You can’t sit at our table,” so the protists start their own club. Although protists don’t belong to the plant, animal, or fungi club, they still share many characteristics with other eukaryotic life forms. What makes a protists a protists is the fact that it cannot be placed into any of the other kingdoms physically or genetically. For instance, the plant-like protists aren’t enough like plants to be one.…
