15
Q

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

A

Protozoans: paramecium and amoeba

16
Q

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

A

Algae: Spirogyra and Euglena

17
Q

How does the paramecium obtain its food?

A

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

18
Q

How does the amoeba obtain its food?

A

Pseudopods surround and then digest the food

19
Q

What are the 3 ways protozoans move?

A

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

20
Q

Are Protists unicellular or multicellular?

A

They can be both

21
Q

What is unicellular?

A

They can live on their own or in a colony

22
Q

What is multicellular?

A

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

23
Q

How do algae move?

A

Most are unable to move except Euglena which has flagella

24
How does the Spirogyra reproduce?
Asexually through mitosis called fragmentation AND Sexually by conjugation
25
How does the Amoeba reproduce?
Asexually through mitosis and cytokinesis
26
How does the paramecium reproduce?
Asexually AND Sexually through conjugation: oral grooves join, nuclear material is shared giving each one a new set of genes and then they separate
