Structures
The rigid structure that maintains shape
What is pellicle?
The green structures allow the euglena to carry out photosynthesis
What is chloroplast?
Indentation on the cell that is used to help capture food
What is an oral groove?
Two uses: 1. to move, 2. to capture food
What is pseudopod?
The animal has a backbone
What is a vertebrate?
Helps to maintain homeostasis by expelling excess water.
What are contractile vacuoles?
They can eat to obtain energy
What is a heterotroph?
Small spherical organelle containing enzymes to digest food
What is a food vacuole?
It is circular in shape, darker in color, and appears to have a rough surface. It contains DNA.
What is a nucleus?
The animal does not have a backbone
What is an invertebrate?
Tiny-hair like structures that are used for movement
What are cilia?
They use photosynthesis to make their own food
What is an autotroph?
Controls day-to-day processes of the cell
It collects water that enters the cell from osmosis. It temporarily stores water before removing it from the cell.
What is a contractile vacuole?
Most animals have two sides that match
What is bilateral symmetry?
Temporary extensions that is used in feeding and locomotion
What is pseudopod?
Is used to help detect the location of light
What is an eye spot?
Controls the reproduction of the cell
What is a micronucleus?
It stores food particles for the amoeba
What are food vacuoles?
Some animals have body parts arranged in a circle like the spokes of a wheel.
What is radial symmetry?
A whip-like structure that drives the cell through fluid
What are flagella?
The long, rod-shaped parts that stores sugar are created during photosynthesis
What are paramylon granules?
Asexual reproduction that produces two new protists
What is binary fission?
The process amoebas use to engulf their food
What is phagocytosis?
Some animals have no definite shape
What is asymmetrical?
