AB
a unicellular organism that has a nucleusprotists
can produce its own food using its chloroplasts, sunlight, CO2 & H2O (producer)autotroph
an organism that must eat other organisms to get food (consumer/predator/hunter)heterotroph
mixotrophic protist with an eyespot, flagella, and chloroplasts to move and hunt or make foodeuglena
autotropic protist with an eyespot, flagella, and chloroplasts to move & make food, lives in coloniesvolvox
heterotrophic protist with cilia to move and sweep food into its oral grooveparamecium
heterotrophic protist with pseudopods to move and engulf foodamoeba
a false foot, cytoplasm that “reaches” out to move or engulf food for an Amoebapseudopods
a whip-like structure that moves back and forth to move Euglena and Volvoxflagella
short hair like structures that act like oars to move a Paramecium or move food into a Paramecium’s oral groovecilia
organelle that can sense sunlight, used by Volvox and Euglena to move into light to make foodeyespot
organelle that digests hunted food for the paramciumoral groove
the rigid outer boundary of a plant cellcell wall
the semi-permeable inner boundary of a plant cell and the outside boundary of an animal cellcell membrane
a structure inside a cell that serves a particular purposeorganelle
the “brain” of a cell that controls its daily activities and stores DNAnucleus
separates the material in the nucleus from the cytoplasmnuclear membrane
the storage area for food, water, and waste in a cellvacuoles
green-pigmented organelles that capture sunlight and convert it into food for the cellchloroplasts
organelles that break down food and release energy for the cellmitochondria
a gel-like material inside the cell; it contains water and nutrients for the cellcytoplasm
How are amoeba and paramecium similar and different?Amoeba and paramecium are both heterotrophs, but amoeba use their pseudopods to move and hunt food while paramecium sweep food into their oral groove using their cilia.
How are amoeba and euglena similar and different?Both can hunt for their food (heterotrophs), but euglena can also make their own food (autotroph) with its chloroplasts. Amoeba have pseudopods to move/eat, but euglena have flagella to move.
How are euglena and paramecium similar and different?Both can hunt for their food (heterotroph), but euglena can also make their own food (autotroph) with its chloroplasts. Paramecium have cilia to move/eat, but euglena have flagella to move.
How are euglena and volvox similar and different?Both can make their own food using chloroplasts (autotroph), but euglena can also hunt for their food. Both also use flagella to move, but volvox move together in colonies.
What organelles make plant and animal cells different from each other?Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts, and fewer but larger vacuoles. Animal cells do not have cell walls or chloroplasts, and have more, smaller vacuoles.
How are plant and animal cells similar to each other?Both have a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membranes, and mitochondria.
Which protist is this?, Amoeba,
Which protist is this?, Euglena,
Which protist is this?, Paramecium,
Which protist is this?, Volvox,
Which cell type is this--plant or animal? Why?, Animal Cell--it only has a cell membrane as its outer boundary and has many small vacuoles. It has no chloroplasts.,
Which cell type is this--plant or animal? Why?, Plant Cell--it has both a cell membrane and cell wall, chloroplasts, and fewer larger vacuoles.,
Which organelle is labeled "C" in this diagram?, The nucleus, the "brain" of the cell.,
Which organelle is labeled "I" in this diagram?, Mitochondria--the "mighty powerhouse" that breaks down stored food into energy for the cell.,
Which organelle is labeled "A" in this diagram?, Vacuole--a storage place for food, water, or waste in a cell.,
Which organelle is labeled "F" in this diagram?, Chloroplasts--green pigmented organelles that use sunlight, CO2 and water to produce food in plant cells.,
Which organelle is labeled "E" in this diagram?, Mitochondria--the "mighty powerhouse" that breaks down stored food into energy for the cell.,
According to Cell Theory, cells are _____________, cells have _____________, and cells reproduce _________________.Cells are the basic unit of life, cells have organelles that perform life functions, and cells reproduce from other cells.
