Amoeba
Are Amoeba's plant-like or animal-like?
Animal-Like
Are Paramecium Animal-like or Plant-like?
Animal-like
Is Euglena Animal-like or Plant-like?
Plant-like
Where does nutrients travel in an Amoeba?
Food vacuoles
Can even single cells sense and respond to their environment?
Freak Yeah they can dude
What do Amoeba's use to move?
Pseudopods
What are Cilia?
Short, slim, hair-like organelles
What organelle does this organism have that can detect/sense light?
Eyespot
How do food vacuoles in the paramecium follow a set path?
Streaming (cytoplasmic streaming)
How does the paramecium acquire energy?
Oral groove
How do Amoeba reproduce?
Binary fission, asexual
What is the function of Cilia?
Movement and sensory
What does the Euglena move towards light for? Optimizing what function?
Photosynthesis
As nutrients travels within an Amoebas food vacuoles, can the vacuoles shift as the cell changes shape?
Freak yeah
What is Cytoplasmic Streaming?
Active circulation of the cytoplasm to move organelles and vacuoles.
What function is phagocytosis to an Amoeba?
Getting energy, feeding, surrounding and digesting prey
Where does photosynthesis take place in this cell?
Chloroplasts
Define mixotrophic
Capable of both heterotrophic and autotrophic things
What function is movement toward light using a whip-like flagellum called?
Phototaxis
Regardless of feeding style what do all three organisms use in the mitochondria to release energy?
Cellular Respiration
How does an Amoeba exchange gas? Where does the exchange happen?
O₂/CO₂ diffusion across the membrane
When reversal does the paramecium use to avoid obstacles?
Cilia reversal
Where does nutrients spread after being produced?
Either ingested or chloroplasts
Why does gas exchange/diffusion work well for these cells?
High surface area-to-volume ratio! This allows diffusion to be efficient enough to sustain life without complex organs like lungs or gills
In diffusion, what direction do particles move?
Random movement of particles from high to low concentration
