EUGLENA
•
Microscopic, ________________ (one-celled)
organisms in the ______________ kingdom.
•
They live in ______________________ (looks
like green scum on ponds)
•
Euglena are interesting because they are a
sort of combination of plant and animal.
•
They can ______________________ like a
plant, but they can also ________ other
things, like an animal. They can also swim
and ______________.
Euglena Movement
•
Euglenas use a __________________ to move (a ______________________ appendage)
•
The flagellum pulls the Euglena through the water similar to how the __________________ of an airplane pulls
it through the air.
Euglena Feeding
•
Euglena eat ______________________ and then use the green algae inside their body to make their own food.
•
These green parts inside the Euglena's body are called ___________________________, which allows them to
produce food through _________________________.
•
This means that they can act as an “_____________________” by _________________ their own energy.
•
Some species also ________ tiny particles of living matter.
•
This means that under certain conditions, Euglena can act as a “_____________________” by ______________
other organisms to get energy.
See how they act like plants AND like animals?
•
The Euglena also has a pigmented organelle called an ________________ that allows the organism to
_________________________.
•
How does this help them with photosynthesis?
Euglena Reproduction
•
Euglena reproduce by ________________________ (dividing into two separate organisms by _______________
down the middle).
•
The nucleus, chloroplast and basal bodies all divide so each new cell ends up with the required cell components.
•
1 unicellular organism makes 2 new unicellular organisms!
VOLVOX
•
_______________________________ that live together in a spherical _______________ of 50,000 to 200,000
cells.
•
The individual algae are ___________________ to each other by thin strands of _______________________
that enable the whole colony to swim in a coordinated fashion.
•
They live in _______________________ (looks like __________________ on ponds)
Volvox Movement
•
Each Volvox cell has _____________________ (whip-like hairs).
•
The flagella beat together ___________________ to roll the ball through the water.
Volvox Feeding
•
Volvox cells have ________________________ and make their own food by _____________________.
•
They are ____________________
•
Volvox have an __________________, a specialized organelle that allows it to _____________________.
•
How would this help the Volvox with photosynthesis?
Volvox Reproduction
•
_______________________ are small, dark green balls inside the volvox colony. When the daughter colonies
mature, the parent ball ______________________ and ____________________ the daughter colonies.
•
Can reproduce __________________ or __________________.
