Protists Can Be Informally Labeled According to Their Type of Motility Flashcards
1
Q
the 3 types of protist motility
A
- flagellates
- ciliates
- amoebae
2
Q
flagellates
A
protists that produce one or more eukaryotic flagella
3
Q
ciliates
A
protists that use many tiny, hairlike surface extensions known as cilia, to move
4
Q
cilia
A
Structurally similar to eukaryotic flagella but are shorter and more abundant on cells
5
Q
amoebae
A
protist that can move by extending cytoplasm into robes, known as pseudopodia
6
Q
pseudopodia
A
once the pseudopodia move towards a food source or other stimulus the rest of the cytoplasm flows after them
- changes the shape of the entire organism as it moves along
