Unicellular Eukaryotes - Protists (Euglena, Amoeba and Paramecium)
I Have In-Depth Notes With Pictures (Including Reproduction) on My Website Under “Class Notes” http://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/domain/333
Euglena • Unicellular (Single-Celled) • Autotrophic Photosynthesis (he’s green with chloroplasts) • Can also feed (heterotrophic) • Contractile vacuole Pumps out excess water (osmoregulation) • Help maintain homeostasis • Light detection, phototaxis, • Flagella for movement • Has nucleus • Asexual via binary fission
Amoeba • Pseudopods (“false foot”) for movement and feeding via endocytosis • Waste removal via exocytosis • Senses prey by chemical agents given off (chemotaxis) • Has a nucleus • Contractile vacuole for osmoregulation • homeostasis • Asexual Exact copy of itself (no genetic diversity) • Sexual Exchange of genetic material between two amoeba (genetic diversity)
Paramecium • Cilia for movement • Heterotrophic • Oral Groove for feeding • Contractile vacuole removes excess water • Has nucleus • Asexual or sexual
