Capture & Release Energy CO + H O + energy (sunlight) --> C H O + O 2 6 12 Chloroplasts assist the Euglena in photosynthesis as an Autotroph. The eyespots sense light, guiding the euglena in the direction toward sunlight. If sunlight is not available, euglenas will search for food using their flagella. Euglenas are Autotrophs That Can Move & Produce Their Own Food: Photosynthesis C H O + O --> CO + H O + energy (ATP) 6 2 12 Euglenas are also Heterotrophs That Can Move and Find Food: Cellular Respiration

Dispose of Waste Contractile vacuoles are used to rid the cell/organism of excess water and waste.

Reproduction The Euglena reproduces asexually (all by itself) by binary fission. http://www.btinternet.com/~stephen.durr/euglena.html

AMOEBA http://www.infovisual.info/02/003_en.html AMOEBA Characteristics: No uniform shape, shape changes with movement. Plant or Animal: Animal

Reproduction http://www.harlem-school.com/10TH/sci_pdf/graphics/amoeba_fission.gif Amoebas only live for a day or two. They divide by binary fission into smaller amoeba.

Euglena = flagellate; eye spot; some contain chlorophyll; common in fresh water. Paramecium = most complex and specialized; ciliates Volvox = colony of ciliates; visible to naked eye; contain chlorophyll Things these Protists have in common: 1 - they have a nucleus (Eukaryotes) 2 - they can be plants, animals, or fungi 3 - most have mitochondria 4 - many have choroplasts 5 - most are unicellular
