1 The Protists Amoeba

2 Animal-like Features -Can move -Catches food- eats prey
- Catches prey with pseudopods -Specialized food vacuole similar to a lysosome

3 Plant-like Features none

4 Structures/Methods of Movement
- Pseudopodia (pseuodopods) - False feet - Moves by extending pseudopods the rest of the body follows.

5 The Protists Paramecium

6 Animal-like features - Can move
- Catches food by sweeping prey into oral groove

7 Plant-like features Specialized vacuole
Contractile vacuole used to get rid of excess water

8 Structures/Methods of Movement
- Cilia- tiny, hair-like structures that move like oars

9 Protists Euglena

10 Animal-like Features - Can move
- Sense light with eyespot (will move toward light) - Will catch prey if it doesn’t perform photosynthesis

11 Plant-like Features - Can perform photosynthesis - Has chloroplasts

12 Structures/Method of Movement
- Flagellum-whip-like structure that moves back and forth to propel organism

13 Protists Volvox

14 Animal-like Features - Can move

15 Plant-like Features - Has chloroplasts -Performs photosynthesis

16 Structures/Method of movement
- Each individual cell has 2 flagella - When each organism moves it causes the entire colony to rotate and revolve.
