Identify the characteristics of protists

Biology
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  1. Protists are mostly unicellular(one celled) eukaryotes whereas a few protists are multicellular(many celled).
  2. They are eukaryotic which means they have a nucleus that is enclosed by a membrane.
  3. They are divided into three categories;animal-like protists, which are heterotrophs and have the ability to move,plant-like protists, which are autotrophs that photosynthesize and fungi-like protists, which are heterotrophs, and they have cells with cell walls and reproduce by forming spore.
  4. They are mobile or immobile

Explanation:

  • Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as plant,animal or fungus.
  • Protists can obtain energy they need to live by consuming other organisms and have the ability to move hence they are said to be heterotrophic while others can obtain energy by manufacturing their own food through a process known as photosynthesis which involves capturing light energy and storing it in carbohydrates for they cannot move  hence said to be autotrophic.
  • protists may live primarily in water though some live in moist soil hence they can be found almost anywhere on earth where there is liquid water,even in humans.

Blood clots will do this.  Cutting off blood flow while also increasing blood pressure.  Also, if the viscosity (thickness of the blood) is thick which will slow down the flow and cause the body to use more effort to pump blood.

1. List and explain the difference between the minimum voltage and maximum voltage achieve in a nerve impulse
algol [13]
The normal membrane potential inside the axon of nerve cells is –70mV, and since this potential can change in nerve cells it is called the resting potential. When a stimulus is applied a brief reversal of the membrane potential, lasting about a millisecond, occurs. This brief reversal is called the action potential 
<span>A stimulus can cause the membrane potential to change a little. The voltage-gated ion channels can detect this change, and when the potential reaches –30mV the sodium channels open for 0.5ms. The causes sodium ions to rush in, making the inside of the cell more positive. This phase is referred to as a depolarisation since the normal voltage polarity (negative inside) is reversed (becomes positive inside). </span>

<span>Repolarisation. At a certain point, the depolarisation of the membrane causes the sodium channels to close. As a result the potassium channels open for 0.5ms, causing potassium ions to rush out, making the inside more negative again. Since this restores the original polarity, it is called repolarisation. As the polarity becomes restored, there is a slight ‘overshoot’ in the movement of potassium ions (called hyperpolarisation). The resting membrane potential is restored by the Na+K+ATPase pump.</span>
