Amoeba, Volvox, Paramecium, and Euglena Review

What is the primary function of an amoeba’s pseudopods?

• to digest food

• to produce energy

• to move toward food

• to help with reproduction

Which statement correctly describes a difference between a paramecium and a volvox colony?

• A paramecium moves by using cilia, while a volvox colony moves by using flagella.

• A paramecium moves by using psedopods, while a volvox colony moves by using cilia.

• A paramecium makes its own food, while a volvox colony uses an oral groove to get food.

• A paramecium uses an eyespot to locate food, while a volvox colony engulfs food with pseudopods.
