photosynthesis, respiration, protist and organelles

How do a paramecium and an amoeba obtain food to live?

• A paramecium and an amoeba both use contractile vacuoles to capture food
• A paramecium and an amoeba both make their own food through photosynthesis
• A paramecium collects food into an oral groove, while an amoeba uses pseudopods to surround food
• A paramecium uses pseudopods to capture food, while an amoeba uses chloroplasts to make its food.

Which two organisms contain chloroplasts and eyespots?

• amoeba and paramecium
• paramecium and volvox
• volvox and euglena
• euglena and amoeba
