Protists and Fungi

Euglena, amoeba, paramecium: all one-celled protists.

How does the paramecium move through its environment?

• pseudopod

• flagella

• cilia

• fins

Amoeba uses a false foot, otherwise known as a _______________ for locomotion and obtaining energy.

• cilia

• flagellum

• parapodia

• pseudopod

The image shows several protists. Different protists use varied methods to move through a water environment. What external structure does the protist labeled C use for locomotion?

• cilia

• flagella

• pseudopod

• cytoplasm

A euglena contains chloroplasts, which allows it to make its own food through photosynthesis. A paramecium obtains its energy by absorbing other organisms.How is a euglena different from a paramecium?

• Euglena is an autoroph and a paramecium is a heterotroph

• Paramecium uses a flagella to move and a euglena use cilia to move

• Euglena is a hetertroph and a paramecium an autotroph

• Paramecium uses cilia to move and a euglena uses a pseudopod

Which of the following is NOT true about protists?

• They live in moist (water) environments

• They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic to obtain resources for energy

• They can reproduce by asexual and sexual reproduction

• They are decomposers
