- symmetrical
- no germ layer
locomotion types
cilia, pseudopodia, flagella
nutrition types
autotrophic, and heterotrophic (most)

characteristics of a eukaryotic cells
nucleus + nucleuolus, mitochondria, ER, plasma membrane, cytoplasm
endoplasm
contains nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles
ectoplasm
more transport, contains bases of cilia/ flagella, often more rigid
cilia
hair-like outgrowth from body/cell wall
flagella
whip-like outgrowths from body/well wall
pseudopodia
free-form projection of the body/well wall
axopodia
long thin and pointed pseudopodia
osmosis
spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane
