Protozoa
May have one or two flagella for movement
Flagellate
Name three members of the Animal Kingdom that can be found during the activated sludge process
Nematodes, Rotifers, and Waterbears
The site in the cell where proteins are synthesized.
Ribosomes
These small organs are called
Organelles
All bacteria including cyanobacteria are part of the _______ Kingdom
Monera
Travels slowly by pseudopod
Amoeba
These metazoans can hibernate for 100 years and even survive extreme UV rays.
Waterbears
The tiny "eyelashes" help the microorganism to capture bacteria that they prey upon while beating in unison.
Cilia
A whip-like structure made of protein responsible for cell motility.
Flagella
Rod shaped bacteria are called _____.
Bacillus
Name three sub-groups in the protozoan family.
Amoeba, Ciliates, and Flagellates
When metazoans dominate during the activated sludge process, the SVI will be ______
Low
Inside the cytoplasm this organelle has ribosomes and the transportation of molecules occurs here.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The thinner cell wall turns pink with a gram stain.
Gram-negative
Spherical shaped bacteria are called_____
Coccus
My name is Euplotes and I am an omnivore that feeds on bacteria, flagellates, and small ciliates. What am I?
Crawling Ciliate
This metazoan has a spur to anchor into floc particles and telescopes its body to catch bacteria and protozoans as food.
Rotifer
This stage on the growth curve just before the death phase, where microorganisms will start to run out of food. In turn, they will start to eat equal life forms in competition for survival.
Endogenous Respiration
Shorter pili used for motility and conjugation
Fimbrae
The acronym CHONPS stands for:
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur
Name of this protozoa that is a sporozoa and commonly found in surface water.
Cryptosporidium
This extreme form of hibernation that allows tartigrades to survive fluctuating conditions.
Cryptobiosis
The site in the cell where adenine triphosphate is produced.
Mitochondria
This part of the cell is used for conjugation(transfer of DNA) with other cells and attachment to surfaces and food.
Pili
Bacteria that convert Sulfate (SO4) to Sulfide (S-2).
Desulfovibrio
