| Three common protozoa | ameba, paramecium, euglena |
| Ameba (shape) | changes as it moves |
| Ameba (movement) | uses pseudopods |
| Pseudopods | "false feet" extensions of cytoplasm |
| Ameba (excretion) | uses a contractile vacuole that expels liquid waste and water AND a vacuole moves to the edge and pushes out solid wasteto |
| Ameba (food getting) | uses pseudopods to trap food then encloses it into a food vacuole |
| Paramecium ( movement) | uses cilia |
| Cilia | small hairs that help the paramecium to move and get food |
| Paramecium (food getting) | uses cilia to sweep food into oral groove |
| Paramecium (shape) | like a slipper covered in tiny hairs |
| Paramecium (excretion) | uses a contractile vacuole to expel liquid waste AND uses an anal pore to excrete solid waste |
| Euglena (shape) | looks like a mouse with a long tail and no legs |
| Euglena (movement) | uses flagellum |
| Flagellum | whip-like tail on the euglena |
| Euglena (food getting) | uses chlorophyll and sunlight to make food, BUT at night sweeps food into oral groove |
| Euglena (excretion) | uses contractile vacuole to get rid of liquid waste and uses an anal pore to get rid of solid waste |
