Kingdom protista

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.

The euglena always points in the direction that the whip-like structure at one end is moving. Identify this specialized structure and its function.

• Cilia; excretion

• flagellum; intake of oxygen

• flagellum; locomotion

• pseudopod; digestion

What is the difference between the two organisms in the photo?

• Euglena moves with cilia; amoeba move with pseudopodia.
