Protozoa
Amoeba proteus
A shapeless unicellular organism that moves by extending temporary projections called pseudopods. It engulfs food through phagocytosis.
Bacteria
Escherichia coli
A gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in the lower intestine. Most strains are harmless and vital for digestion.
Green Algae
Chlorella vulgaris
A single-celled spherical green alga with high photosynthetic efficiency. Widely studied as a superfood due to its exceptional nutritional profile.
Colonial Green Algae
Volvox globator
A colonial organism forming a hollow sphere of up to 50,000 biflagellate cells connected by cytoplasmic bridges.
Ciliate Protozoa
Paramecium caudatum
A slipper-shaped unicellular organism covered in cilia. One of the most studied protists, known for its complex behavior despite being a single cell.
Euglenoid Flagellate
Euglena gracilis
A unique single-celled organism that can photosynthesize like a plant AND consume food like an animal โ a true mixotroph.
Nucleic Acid
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
The molecule of life โ a double helix of two antiparallel strands encoding all genetic information needed to build and maintain living organisms.
Eukaryotic Cell
Eukaryotic Animal Cell
The fundamental unit of animal life. Lacks a cell wall and chloroplasts but contains specialized organelles for complex functions.
Eukaryotic Cell
Eukaryotic Plant Cell
The building block of all plants. Distinguished by a rigid cell wall, large central vacuole, and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Prokaryotic Cell
Prokaryotic Bacterium
The simplest and most ancient form of life. Prokaryotic cells lacking a true nucleus, yet incredibly diverse and essential for all ecosystems.
Micro-animal
Hypsibius dujardini
Also known as 'Water Bears', these 8-legged micro-animals are famous for their extreme resilience, surviving the vacuum of space, radiation, and extreme temperatures.
Algae
Fragilaria crotonensis
Single-celled algae with a transparent cell wall made of silica (glass). They are major producers of oxygen on Earth.
Green Algae
Spirogyra porticalis
A filamentous green alga named for its spiral-shaped chloroplasts. It often forms slimy green mats on the surface of water.
Ciliate
Stentor coeruleus
One of the largest single-celled organisms, shaped like a trumpet. It is known for its beautiful blue color and incredible regenerative powers.
Archaea
Halobacterium salinarum
An extreme halophile (salt-lover) that belongs to the Archaea domain. It colors salt lakes pink or red due to its pigments.
Bacteria
Anabaena variabilis
The 'Blue-Green Algae' that first produced oxygen on Earth. They often form long chains of cells called filaments.
Fungi
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
A single-celled fungus used for thousands of years in baking and brewing. It converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Fungi
Penicillium chrysogenum
The mold used to create Penicillin, the world's first antibiotic. It looks like a tiny brush under a microscope.
Protozoa
Actinomma asteracanthion
Protozoa that produce intricate mineral skeletons, usually with a central capsule. Their remains form 'radiolarian ooze' on the ocean floor.
Protist
Noctiluca scintillans
Marine plankton famous for bioluminescenceโcreating 'glowing waves' at night. Some species cause harmful 'Red Tides'.
Bacteria
Treponema pallidum
Helically coiled bacteria that move using a corkscrew motion. They are unique for having internal flagella called endoflagella.
Amoebozoa
Physarum polycephalum
A single giant cell with thousands of nuclei. It is famous for its 'intelligence'โbeing able to solve mazes and find efficient paths.
Ciliate
Vorticella campanula
Bell-shaped ciliates attached to surfaces by a long contractile stalk. They create water currents to pull food into their mouths.
Micro-animal
Brachionus calyciflorus
Tiny multi-cellular animals named for their 'wheel-organ'โtwo rotating rings of cilia that look like spinning wheels.
Roundworm
Caenorhabditis elegans
Microscopic roundworms found in almost every environment. C. elegans is a famous 'model organism' used in aging research.
Protozoa
Trypanosoma brucei
Parasitic flagellates that cause diseases like African Sleeping Sickness. They have a unique kineoplast (giant DNA mass).
Protozoa
Giardia lamblia
A heart-shaped parasite with two nuclei that look like eyes. It causes 'Giardiasis' or 'Beaver Fever' in humans.
Bacteria
Streptococcus pyogenes
Spherical bacteria that grow in chains. S. pyogenes is responsible for Strep throat and scarlet fever.
Bacteria
Bacillus subtilis
Rod-shaped bacteria that are very common in soil. They can form tough spores to survive extreme conditions.
Archaea
Methanocaldococcus jannaschii
Archaea that produce methane as a byproduct. Many are extremophiles living at the bottom of the ocean.
Crustacean
Daphnia pulex
Often called 'Water Fleas', these tiny crustaceans are transparent, allowing you to see their beating heart and moving organs.
Cnidarian
Hydra vulgaris
A small freshwater relative of jellyfish. It is famous for its biological immortalityโit doesn't seem to age at all.
Crustacean
Cypridopsis vidua
Known as 'Seed Shrimp', these micro-crustaceans are encased in a two-part shell like a tiny clam.
Flatworm
Dugesia tigrina
Non-parasitic flatworms with arrow-shaped heads and cross-eyed spots. They have incredible regeneration abilities.
Archaea
Pyrococcus furiosus
Heat-loving organisms that thrive in boiling water where almost nothing else can survive.
