Parts of a Cell
The brain of the cell. Controls the activities of the cell. Holds the DNA.
What is the nucleus.
This tail-like structure helps the volvox to move.
What is flagella.
An amoeba has this many cells.
What is one.
True or False: A Euglena has features of both plants and animals.
What is TRUE.
TRUE or FALSE:
A paramecium can change its shape.
What is FALSE.
Volvox is a plant-like protist with chloroplasts, but unlike Euglena, it also has this structure.
What is a cell wall.
An amoeba uses its pseudopods for two main purposes. Give these two main purpose.
What are movement and capturing food.
This organelle in Euglena helps capture light for photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast.
Paramecium is (eukaryotic, prokaryotic) organism.
What is EUKARYOTIC.
Volvox feeds primarily through this process, using sunlight to make its own food.
What is photosynthesis.
This is where all the organelles of an amoeba are located.
What is the cytoplasm.
Euglena reproduces by splitting into two identical cells through this process.
What is asexual reproduction.
The paramecium uses this structure to sweep food toward its oral groove and into the gullet.
What is cilia.
This structure allows an amoeba to move by forming temporary extensions of its cell membrane.
What is What is a pseudopod or pseudopodia (false feet).
This structure helps Euglena move by whipping back and forth.
What is a flagellum.
True or False: Paramecium can produce its own food by absorbing light and performing photosynthesis.
What is FALSE
Part of a cell that makes proteins.
What is a ribosome.
This structure, found in plant cells, is present in Volvox but not in Euglena.
*Hint: It gives the shape or structure of the protist.
What is a cell wall.
This is a characteristic of an amoeba that paramecium, volvox, and euglena cannot change.
*Hint: Look at the appearance of each protist.
What is shape.
Besides acting like an animal to capture food, Euglena can also obtain food through this process,
What is photosynthesis.
This structure in a paramecium allows it to form a food vacuole around its food without changing shape.
What is a gullet.
