What are the fundamental structures and activities of cells across different kingdoms?
What are the differences between animal and plant cells in terms of reproduction and energy production?
Are the plant and animal cells we observe today similar to those of the past?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using dyes or stains to study cells?
What are the characteristics that distinguish unicellular organisms from the individual cells of multicellular organisms?
How do bacteria, protists, animals, plants, and fungi obtain energy?
How do bacterial cell walls differ from plant cell walls?
What is the role of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?
What is the function of the mitochondria in animal cells?
How does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?
What is the process of binary fission in bacteria?
How do cilia aid in the movement of paramecium?

Cellular Diversity: Bacteria, Protists, Animals, Plants, Fungi
Bacteria
Coccus is spherical or roughly spherical. Some cocci have a cell wall and are Gram-positive, while others lack a cell wall and are Gram-negative. They can be pathogenic or non-pathogenic. Bacillus is rod-shaped or cylindrical. They have a cell wall and are Gram-positive, although some may be Gram-negative. They can be pathogenic or non-pathogenic. Spirillums are Spiral or corkscrew in shape. They have a cell wall and are Gram-negative. They are often found in aquatic or soil environments but can also be pathogenic.
Euglena
Euglena has a flagellum that it uses for locomotion. It has chloroplasts for photosynthesis. It has a stigma or eyespot, helping it move towards sources of sunlight for photosynthesis. It can be heterotrophic.
Amoeba
Amoeba has a flexible cell membrane that can change shape and form pseudopodia. It is a heterotrophic organism that feeds on bacteria and other tiny organisms by engulfing them with pseudopodia. It reproduces asexually by a process called binary fission.
Paramecium
Paramecium is motile and uses hair-like structures called cilia to move through the water. It has a contractile vacuole that regulates the water content of the cell. It is a heterotrophic organism that feeds on bacteria, algae, and other tiny organisms in its environment.

- Identifying the Advantages and Disadvantages of Mitosis and MeiosisDescription: Mitosis involves a total of six stages namely interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Although the interphase is essentially not a component of mitotic cell division, it is nonetheless an important step since it precedes cell cycle progression. As a result, the interphase...3 pages/≈825 words| 2 Sources | APA | Biological & Biomedical Sciences | Coursework |
