Specialized Structures That Allow Movement In Protists

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.

Performing an experiment with different organisms can answer what question?

• Environments most euglena are found.

• The effects of different color of light on an euglena's response.

• Is there an similarity between euglena, plants cells, and animal cells?

• Does the specialized structure, flagella, help the euglena perform different functions?

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

Under a microscope, a single-celled eurkaryotic organism contains small-like hairs that beat and help the organism move and sweep food in its mouth. Identify this structure used for locomotion and to sweep food in the organism's mouth.

• cilia

• flagella

• pseudopodia

• chloroplast

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

• Euglena moves with cilia; amoeba move with pseudopodia.
