A protist that moves using pseudopodia.
What is an amoeba?
100
Organelle that converts light energy into food.
What is the chloroplast?
200
Made of cells; require energy; reproduce; respond to their environment; have a life span.
What are characteristics of living things?
200
Having more than one cell
What is multicellular?
200
Organelle where the cell's energy molecules are made. It is the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
200
A long whip-like hair that extends from a protist's body and is a source of locomotion.
