What is the sixth kingdom?

Plants, Animals, Protists, Fungi, Archaebacteria, Eubacteria.

What do protist eat?

Protists Nutrition That means that protists can obtain food like plants, fungi, or animals do. There are many plant-like protists, such as algae, that get their energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. Some of the fungus-like protists, such as the slime molds (Figure below), decompose decaying matter.

Where can I find protist?

Where are protists found? Most protists can be found in moist and wet areas. They can also be found in tree trunks and other organisms.

Can protists be seen with the naked eye?

All types of protista organisms can be studied under a simple light microscope and some, like fungus, can be seen with the naked eye.

Which protist makes up about 80% of the world’s oxygen?

Protists, such as aphanizomenon flos-aquae and spirulina, are types of blue-green algae that also produce oxygen as a by-product of their respiration cycle. If not for these little cyanobacteria, Earth would not be the oxygen rich planet it is today. Blue-green algae provides 80% of the Earth’s oxygen.

How do you get rid of protists?

Amoxicillin, penicillin, and erythromycin are common antibiotics that inhibit bacterial cell functions. Antibiotics are derived primarily from bacteria or fungi (mold), such as Penicillium. Antibiotics don’t work exclusively against bacteria: some ‘broad-spectrum’ ones are also effective against protists.

What is a living thing that is so small you need a microscope to see them?

A microbe is any living organism that spends its life at a size too tiny to be seen with the naked eye. Microbes include bacteria and archaebacteria, protists, some fungi and even some very tiny animals that are too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope.

What is the smallest thing we can observe?

The smallest thing that we can see with a ‘light’ microscope is about 500 nanometers. A nanometer is one-billionth (that’s 1,000,000,000th) of a meter. So the smallest thing that you can see with a light microscope is about 200 times smaller than the width of a hair. Bacteria are about 1000 nanometers in size.

What are 2 types of microscopes?

Types of Microscopes

The light microscope. The common light microscope used in the laboratory is called a compound microscope because it contains two types of lenses that function to magnify an object.
Other light microscopes.
Electron microscopy.

What are 4 types of microscopes?

There are several different types of microscopes used in light microscopy, and the four most popular types are Compound, Stereo, Digital and the Pocket or handheld microscopes.

What are the 5 types of microscopes?

5 Different Types of Microscopes:

Stereo Microscope.
Compound Microscope.
Inverted Microscope.
Metallurgical Microscope.
Polarizing Microscope.

What is the most expensive microscope?

Lawrence Berkeley National Labs just turned on a $27 million electron microscope. Its ability to make images to a resolution of half the width of a hydrogen atom makes it the most powerful microscope in the world.
