What are the ways within which microbiologists classify protists?
a)
Microbiologists classify protists by the way they look. Some of them are green in color, while others are clear.
b)
Microbiologist classify protists by observing their method of obtaining energy.
c)
Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move. Some protists use cilia to move, while some other use cytoplasmic streaming or flagellum.
d)
Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move, and the protists method of obtaining energy.
2.
As we already know, heterotrophic protists are animal-like in extracting energy for food. What does it mean when a protist is "heterotrophic"?
a)
Heterotrophic protists are protists that have to move to find their food, and eat smaller organisms to survive. Sometimes, these types of protists eat each other, or other protists.
b)
Heterotrophic protists are protists that do not have to move to fin their own food, rather, these protists can perform photosynthesis which allows for these types of protists to create their own food.
c)
Heterotrophic protists can find their own food, and create their own food.
d)
Heterotrophic protists feed off of decaying matter which can include dead trees.
3.
As we already know, autotrophic protists are plant-like in extracting food for energy. What does it mean when a protist is "autotrophic"?
a)
Autotrophic protists are protists that have to move to find their food, and eat smaller organisms to survive. Sometimes, these types of protists eat each other, or other protists.
b)
Autotrophic protists are protists that do not have to move to fin their own food, rather, these protists can perform photosynthesis which allows for these types of protists to create their own food.
c)
Autotrophic protists feed off of decaying matter which can include dead trees
d)
Autotrophic protists are protists that can move to find their own food, and eat smaller organisms to survive, can produce photosynthesis to create their own food, and feed off of decaying matter which can include dead trees.
4.
As we already know, protists are eukaryotic meaning
a)
Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that lack a nucleus organelle. This means tat the DNA inside the cell is free floating.
b)
Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that have a nucleus organelle. This means that the DNA inside the cell is inside the nucleus.
5.
The euglena and volvox are part of the plant-like protists. Which of the following organelles is responsible for identifying this protists to be plant-like in nature?
a)
Cilia - Each volvox and euglena have cilia which are tiny hair-like structures that allow the euglena and volvox to move around its watery environment.
b)
chloroplasts - Each volvox and euglena contain the organelle chloroplast within which the chloroplast allows the plant-like protists to perform photosynthesis.
c)
Cell Membrane - Each volvox and euglena contain a cell membrane, within which the cell membrane allows the movement of organelles across its cell.
d)
Cilia & Chloroplasts are both found in the euglena and volvox which is responsible for identifying these protists to be plant-like in nature.
6.
What is the role of pseudopodia in the Amoeba?
a)
Store food until it is digested.
b)
Transcription
c)
Movement
d)
Regulates how much water goes into the cell.
7.
What is Cilia?
a)
A tail like structure that help protist move
b)
Hair like fibers that help protist move
c)
A place where spores are kept
d)
A fake foot that help protist move
8.
What type of cells are protists?
a)
Prokaryotic
b)
