Organelles
What organelle contains the genetic material in a eukaryotic cell?
What is the nucleus?
What organelle is used by volvox to swim in water?
BONUS - for 1 piece of candy -
How many of these organelles would be present in a Volvox colony of 50,000 individuals?
What is the flagella?
Bonus: Each Volvox individual has 2 flagella.
50,000 x 2 = 100,000 flagella in a "perfect" multicellular colony (no mutations).
What type of organism makes its own food?
What is an autotroph?
What type of reproduction involves only one parent?
What is asexual reproduction?
Where do most protists live?
What is in water?
Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in euglena?
What are chloroplasts?
How do most paramecium move through water?
What is cilia?
What type of organism gets nutrients by consuming other organisms?
What is a heterotroph?
What reproductive strategy is used by many protists when the habitat has favorable conditions?
What is binary fission?
Bonus 1: What TYPE of reproduction is this?
Bonus 2: Describe binary fission in terms of the cell division process.
What type of environment do euglena prefer?
What is freshwater environments?
What structure helps some protists move and is whip-like?
What is a flagellum?
What is the main advantage of locomotion for protists?
What is finding food and escaping predators?
What is the main method by which amoebas obtain food?
By using the pseudopod(s) to surround and engulf prey and then suck it into the cell?
The science term for this is phagocytosis!!!
Describe how euglena can reproduce.
What is through asexual reproduction by binary fission?
Name a habitat where amoebas can be found.
What is soil or freshwater?
In paramecium, what structure acts like a mouth for feeding?
What is the oral groove?
Name one way that euglena can move towards light
What is using its eyespot to detect light?
How do euglena obtain nutrients?
What is through photosynthesis and/or consuming other organisms? (TWO strategies)
What is the significance of reproduction for protists in changing environments?
What is to ensure survival and adaptation?
What is the significance of habitats for protists?
What is providing necessary conditions for survival?
What is the scientific term for the offspring of the Volvox colony?
What is daughter cells?
What is the term for the movement of an amoeba using extensions of its cytoplasm?
Bonus - for 1 of candy -
What is the name of the organelle that does this type of movement?
What is cytoplasmic streaming?
Bonus - What is the Pseudopod?
Describe how paramecium feeds.
- Must use multiple science terms in your description.
What is using its cilia to sweep food into the oral groove to enter the cell?
What is the term for the process of exchanging genetic material between two cells?
What is conjugation?
Bonus 1: What type of reproduction is conjugation?
Bonus 2: Correctly name ONE protist that utilizes this strategy.
How do different habitats affect the distribution of protists?
What is they determine the types of protists that can thrive in those areas?
