| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Amoebae | Single-celled life-form characterized by an irregular shape and move using pseudopodia, or temporary projections of eukaryotes. |
| Autotrophs | Organisms that make their own food. |
| Cillium | "hair-like" structures that outer membrane of some cells specialized for locomotion or movement. |
| Cytoplasm | A gel-like substance residing between the cell membrane holding all the cell's organelles, except for the nucleus. |
| Cytoplasmic Streaming | The directed flow of cytosol or the liquid component of the cytoplasm around plant cells. |
| Euglena | a protist that can both eat food as animals by heterotrophy; and can photosynthesize, like plants, by autotrophy. |
| Eukaryotes | Cellular organisms that contain nuclei. |
| Flagellum | A "tail-like" structure attached to the outer membrane of some cells specialized for locomotion or movement. |
| Heterotroph | Organisms that cannot make their own food. |
| Multicellular | Organisms that are composed of many cells. |
| Paramecium | A group of unicellular protozoa, which are commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group, or cilia movement |
| Phagocytosis | The cellular process of engulfing solid particles by reshaping the cell membrane. |
| Prokaryotes | Cellular organisms that lack a nucleus |
| Protists | Eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi. |
| Protozoa | A diverse group of single-cell eukaryotic organisms, many of which are motile |
| Unicellular | Single celled organisms |
| Volvox | A type of green algae and form spherical colonies of up to 50,000 cells who live in a variety of freshwater habitats |
| Active Transport | Use energy to "carry" substances into a cell |
| Cell | Basic unit of structure and function in living things. It is the basic building block of life |
| Cell Membrane | Found in plant and animal cells A double lipid layer that has proteins embedded in it. |
| Cell Wall | It gives protection and support It is found in plant, not animal, cells. |
| Chloroplast | Found in plant cells only |
