🗑
Is an amoeba an algae or protozoan?   protozoan  
🗑
Is a paramecium an algae or protozoan?   protozoan  
🗑
Are amoeba heterotrophs or autotrophs?   heterotrophs  
🗑
How do amoeba move?   pseudopodia  
🗑
How do amoeba get their food?   endocytosis (engulfs)  
🗑
What do contractile vacuoles do for amoeba?   help to remove water from the interior  
🗑
How do amoeba survive difficult environments (droughty)?   form cysts  
🗑
What do amoeba have that allows them to move by pseudopodia?   have a flexible plasma membrane  
🗑
How do amoeba reproduce?   asexually through binary fission  
🗑
Are paramecium autotrophic or heterotrophic?   heterotrophic  
🗑
How do paramecium take in their food?   by ingestion  
🗑
How do paramecium move?   cilia  
🗑
What do we call the hard outer covering of a paramecium?   the pellicle  
🗑
Do paramecium have contractile vacuoles?   yes  
🗑
How do paramecium sexually reproduce?   through conjugation  
🗑
How do paramecium asexually reproduce?   through binary reproduction  
🗑
Are euglena protozoans or algae?   algae  
🗑
Are euglena heterotrophic or autotrophic?   both heterotrophic & autotrophic  
🗑
How do euglena get their food?   they photosynthesize & absorb their food  
🗑
How do euglena move about?   flagellum  
🗑
What do we call the hard outer covering of a euglena?   the pellicle  
🗑
Can euglena use the eyespot to 'see'?   No, the eyespot is used to detect light  
🗑
Do euglena have contractile vacuoles?   yes  
🗑
How do euglena reproduce?   asexually through binary fission  
🗑
Why are euglena difficult to place in a kingdom?   they can photosynthesize like plants, but also absorb food like animals or fungi  
🗑
Are volvox an algae or protozoan?   algae  
🗑
Are volvox autotrophic or heterotrophic?   autotrophic  
🗑
How do volvox move about?   individual cells of sphere have flagella  
🗑
Volvox are colonial. What does this mean?   Many cells live cooperatively together as a sphere  
🗑
How do volvox get their food?   through photosynthesis  
🗑
What term refers to organisms that have membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus?   eukaryotes  
🗑
What does it mean to be autotrophic?   to feed oneself, such as in photosynthesis of plants or cyanobacteria  
🗑
What does it mean to be heterotrophic?   to consume your food, such as in ingestion by animals or absorption by fungi  
🗑


   

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.
