Question 19

How are bacteria classified based on their movement?

Answer 19

Bacteria are classified into groups by how they move, such as plant-like, animal-like, and fungus-like.

Question 20

How do plant-like protists move?

Answer 20

Plant-like protists, such as Euglena, use a whip-like tail called a flagella to move.

Question 21

How do animal-like protists move?

Answer 21

Animal-like protists, like Amoeba, use pseudopods (feet), and Paramecium use cilia (hairs) to move.

Question 22

What are fungus-like protists?

Answer 22

Fungus-like protists resemble fungi and have characteristics of both fungi and protists

Answer 24

Euglena moves using a whip-like tail called a flagella.

Question 25

How does Amoeba move?

Answer 25

Amoeba moves using pseudopods (foot-like extensions of the cell).

Question 26

How does Paramecium move?

Answer 26

Paramecium moves using cilia (hair-like structures).
