The protist, euglena, is special because of its ability to ....

• come in three different shapes: rod, round, or spiral.

• move through water with their structure, the pseudopodia.

• make their own food or consume other organisms for food.

• eat through a oral groove that serves as a mouth.

Describe how the protist, amoeba, gets its food?

• The protist paralyzes it's prey with its flagella to adsorb the food.

• Uses cilia to sweep food in its oval groove.

• The pseudopodia surrounds and engulfs its prey.

• The chloroplasts captures energy from sunlight to make food.
