Week’s Agenda:
Review of what is a living organism is
Introduction to unicellular organisms
Homework:
Cell project

2. What is an living organism review

3. Living things 1. living things are made of cells
2. living things grow and develop
3. living things reproduce
4. Living things use energy
5. Living things respond to their environment

4. Living things Cells are basic building blocks of life
Autotrophs are organisms that make their own energy
Heterotrophs are organisms that rely on other living things to gain energy

5. Living things
Taxonomy branch of science which classifies organisms by appearance and behavior
Dichotomous key is a tool that allows us to determine the identity of organisms

7. PROTISTS 4+ EUGLENA, AMOEBA, PARAMECIUM, VOLVOX]\

8. What is a protist? . Protist—an organism from the Kingdom Protista
Very diverse group of single-celled organisms.
Eukaryotic (They have nuclei.) `

10. EUGLENA

12. Euglena Found in calm fresh and saltwater
Autotroph – gets energy via photosynthesis
Heterotroph —also gets nourishment heterotrophic like animals
Has features of both plants and animals
Kingdom Protista
Reproduces asexual

13. Euglena Moves by a flagellum eye spot Contains chloroplasts
Common in fresh water
No cell wall so it can change shape.`

14. AMOEBA
Found in freshwater and saltwater around a lot of dead and decaying material.
Hunter
Can be parasite in humans

16. Amoeba Moves by cytoplasmic streaming
Surrounds food and engulfs it using pseudopods. The food is then stored and digested in vacuoles.`

17. Amoeba Changes shape drastically Heterotrophic
Eats bacteria, algae, and other protists
Reproduces asexually
Movement- The cell shapes itself into pseudopods (false feet)

18. Amoeba
Reproduction- - asexual

19. PARAMECIUM Found in freshwater. This is a single-celled organism.
Cilia sweep food into food passageway. V

20. Paramecium Shape of a pill capsule Heterotrophic Relatively large
Common in pond scum and freshwater
Has two nuclei (macro and micro)`Sexual reproduction

21. Paramecium Uses cilia to sweep food into the oral groove
Feeds on micro-organisms like bacteria, algae, and yeasts
Is covered in cilia so it spirals through water`

22. VOLVOX Found in ponds ditches and puddles.
Composed of a colony of more than 50,000 tiny cells
Often called algae. `

23. Volvox continued… photosynthesis and flagella help bring in nutrients.
Eyespots sense light. `

24. Volvox continued… Movement- Many flagella help move the colony.
Reproduction- asexual and sexual

25. Volvox A spherical colony of up to 50,000 cells Contains chloroplasts
Moves and acts as one multicellular organism
but one cell can survive independent of the colony`

26. Volvox Type of green algae
freshwater – ponds, ditches, puddles, lagoons
Colonies use flagella to swim
Cells have eyespots
Makes food by photosynthesis

27. Volvox Videos Watch them revolve.
