1.
Are paramecium considered a heterotroph, autotroph, or decomposer?
a)
Autotroph - meaning they can create their own food by using chloroplasts.
b)
Heterotroph - meaning they have to go search for their food.
c)
Decomposer - meaning they eat off of dead, rotting matter.
2.
What special way do paramecium eat?
a)
Parameciums use cilia to sweep food into a gullet-like mouth called an oral groove.
b)
Photosynthesis - this is the process of converting light energy into sugars for the organism.
c)
Parameciums engulf food with pseudopods
3.
A contractile vacuole is used by a paramecium to
a)
make their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
b)
secrete enzymes for digestion within the food vacuole.
c)
excrete excess water out of the cell
d)
produce antibodies to defend the cell from predators.
4.
How do paramecium move?
a)
Cilia - many tiny hair-like structures that allow the paramecium to move around its watery environment.
b)
Flagella - a whip-like structure that allows the paramecium to move around its watery environment.
c)
pseudopods - aka false foot, parameciums use cytoplasmic streaming which creates pseudopods to move around.
