Answer 7

Euglena and Spirogyra

Question 8

Which organisms are consumers?

Answer 8

Amoeba, Euglena and Paramecium

Question 9

Which organisms are Eukaryotic?

Answer 9

Amoeba, euglena, paramecium and Spirogyra

Question 10

Which organisms are protist?

Answer 10

Amoeba, euglena, paramecium and Spirogyra

Question 11

Which organisms have chloroplasts?

Answer 11

Euglena and Spirogyra

Question 12

Which organism moves by pseudopods?

Answer 12

Amoeba

Question 13

Which organisms reproduce by conjugation?

Answer 13

Paramecium and Spirogyra

Question 14

What are the two main groups of Protists

Answer 14

Protozoans and Algae

Question 15

Which group of Protists are are more animal like and give two examples?

Answer 15

Protozoans: paramecium and amoeba

Question 16

Which group of Protists are plant like and perform photosynthesis? Give two examples

Answer 16

Algae: Spirogyra and Euglena

Question 17

How does the paramecium obtain its food?

Answer 17

Invagination: paramecium has an oral groove with cilia to tap food. Breaks off to form a food vacuole that digests the food. Undigested food is transported out

Question 18

How does the amoeba obtain its food?

Answer 18

Pseudopods surround and then digest the food

Question 19

What are the 3 ways protozoans move?

Answer 19

Flagella: whiplike long hair
Cilia: small hairlike projections: paramecium
Pseudopods: bulge in cytoplasm: Amoeba

Question 20

Are Protists unicellular or multicellular?

Answer 20

They can be both

Question 21

What is unicellular?

Answer 21

They can live on their own or in a colony

Question 22

What is multicellular?

Answer 22

Can’t live on their own. Live in groups and perform a specific task.

Question 23

How do algae move?

Answer 23

Most are unable to move except Euglena which has flagella

Question 24

How does the Spirogyra reproduce?

Answer 24

Asexually through mitosis called fragmentation
AND
Sexually by conjugation

Question 25

How does the Amoeba reproduce?

Answer 25

Asexually through mitosis and cytokinesis

Question 26

How does the paramecium reproduce?

Answer 26

Asexually
AND
Sexually through conjugation: oral grooves join, nuclear material is shared giving each one a new set of genes and then they separate
