  1. Unicellular Organisms Euglena & Volvox

  2. Euglena 1. organization • Kingdom = Protista • Phylum = Euglenophyta • flagellum – a long whip-like structure that acts like a little motor • can move in an inchworm type fashion 2. movement

  3. Euglena • heterotrophic = must consume food • autotrophic = can make its own food • chloroplasts used for photosynthesis • eye spot to detect light 3. feeding

  4. Euglena 4. Where do euglena live? quiet ponds or puddles 5. reproduction reproduce asexually by splitting in two

  5. Volvox 1. organization • Kingdom = Protista • freshwater alga • likes to form colonies 2. movement • bi-flagellum – whip-like structure divided into two that acts like a little motor

  6. Volvox 3. feeding • Like euglena, they can consume food, or make their food through photosynthesis 4. Where do volvox live? • deeper ponds, lagoons, and ditches – places that receive rainwater

  7. Volvox 5. reproduction • asexually • usually done in colonies • sexually • also while in colonies • cells are hermaphroditic, but cannot fertilize themselves
