18
Q

What are living things that are only made up of one cell?

A

Unicellular organisms

19
Q

What do unicellular organisms need to survive?

A

Adaptions

20
Q

What are two examples of adaptations that unicellular organisms need to survive?

A

Euglena and amoeba

21
Q

where does a euglena live?

A

in the water

22
Q

what is the tail of the euglena’s name and what does it do?

A

flagellum and it helps the euglena to swim

23
Q

what gas gets passed by diffusion in the moist surface membrane?

A

oxygen

24
Q

how does it get its food?

A

they have chloroplasts on their surface membrane and that helps them to do photosynthesis to make their own food

25
Q

where does amoeba live?

A

as well as euglena, amoeba also lives in the water

26
Q

what do they use the membrane for?

A

extend it out a bit of their membrane and use it like an arm and then flow into it

27
Q

what happens in the moist surface membrane?

A

exchange gases like in the euglena

28
Q

how do they eat?

A

the cell membrane wraps around the food and drags it into the body

29
Q

what is an adaptation?

A

An adaptation is a special skill which helps an animal to survive and do everything it needs to do
