🗑
What is a pseudopod?   A temporary, foot-like extension of a cell, used of locomotion or engulfing food  
🗑
What are the parts of Amoeba Proteus (member of phylum Sarcindina)?   Pseudopod, nucleus, contractile vacuole, food vacuole  
🗑
What is the nucleus?   The region of a eukaryotic cell that contains the cell's main DNA  
🗑
What is the Vacuole?   A membrane-bounded "sac" within a cell  
🗑
What are the two types of vacuoles?   Food vacuole and contractile vacuoles  
🗑
What is the purpose of the contractile vacuoles?   It removes excess water and reduces pressure  
🗑
What is the purpose of the food vacuole?   It hold and stores food while it is being digested  
🗑
What is the ectoplasm?   The thin, watery cytoplasm near the plasma membrane of some cells  
🗑
What is the endoplasm?   The dense cytoplasm found in the interior of many cells  
🗑
What is a flagellate?   A protozoa that propels itself with a flagellum  
🗑
What are the parts to a typical Euglena?   Pellicle, chloroplast, nucleus, contractile vacuole, flagellum, eyespot  
🗑
What is a pellicle?   A firm, flexible coating outside the plasma membrane  
🗑
What is the purpose of the pellicle?   retains cells shape  
🗑
What is the purpose of the chloroplast?   An organelle containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis  
🗑

🗑
What is the purpose of the cilia   used for locomotion  
🗑
What is the purpose of the oral groove?   Food intake and conjugation  
🗑
What is a chloroplast?   An organelle containing chlorophylle for photosynthesis  
🗑
What is a chlorophyll?   A pigment necessary for photosynthesis  
🗑
Do Euglenas produce sexually or asexually?   Asexually  
🗑
How do euglena obtain food?   They can either live on dead remains of other organisms or can produce its own food by photosynthesis  
🗑
What is Symbiosis?   A close relationship between two pr more species where at least one benefits  
🗑
What is Mutualism?   A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where all benefit from the association  
🗑
What is commensalism?   A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited  
🗑
What is parasitism?   A relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed  
🗑
What are the types of symbiosis?   Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism  
🗑
What are the parts of a Paramecium?   Cilia, micronucleus, macronucleus, contractile vacuole, food vacuole, gullet, oral groove, oral pore  
🗑
What is the cilia?   Hair-like projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion  
🗑
Why does the paramecium need do nucleus?   This paramecium require a large amount of energy to live, mostly because of the rapid movement of their cilia.  
🗑
What is the difference between the micronucleus and macrocnucleus?   Macronucleus controls metabolism and the micronucleus controls reproduction  
🗑
What is a spore?   A reproductive cell with a hard, protective coating  
🗑
What disease does Genus Plasmodium cause?   Malaria  
🗑
What is a Plankton?   Tiny organisms that float in the water  
🗑

🗑
What is a colony of algae often referred to as?   Thallus  
🗑
What is a thallus?   The body of a plant-like organism that is not divided into leaves, roots, or stems  
🗑
What is an algal bloom?   When algae reproduce so rapidly that they essentially take over their habitat making the water appear the same color as the algae themselves.  
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
