1. 11/6/13 51st Day of School
Learning goal (7.L.1): I will be able to describe the life characteristics of Amoeba and Paramecium.
Due Today: Euglena part of chart & flashcards
Evening Assignment: Finish Amoeba/Paramecium part of chart

2. Explain why I have written Euglena using the color scheme
Explain why I have written Euglena using the color scheme? How do the colors relate to how it gets energy?
Do Now

3. What characteristics do all living things share?
Are organized (cells, structures)
Reproduce (pass on genetic material)
Use energy
Grow & develop
Remove waste
Regulate Internal Conditions (homeostasis)
Respond to the environment
Evolve and Adapt
Characteristics of Life

4. Life Functions of single-celled Organisms
As you watch note what role each of the following plays in the life of unicellular organisms:
Nucleus
Flagella
Cilia
Pseudopod
Cytoplasm
Vacuole
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts
Life Functions of single-celled Organisms

5. 8 Vocabulary Flashcards
On the FRONT
On the BACK
Cell
Definition: A cell is the basic unit of life that is able to perform basic life functions.
Examples:
Euglena: single-celled organism
Red blood cell: cell in human body that carried oxygen
Cell chloroplast
Autotroph flagella
Photosynthesis 7. cilia
Heterotroph pseudopod
8 Vocabulary Flashcards

6. Amoeba Organization: Single-celled, shapeless & has pseudopods
Respond to Environment: Cytoplasmic streaming allows it to move toward food or away from predators
Energy Use: Heterotrophic- engulfs food with pseudopods
Evolve/Adapt: Can become dormant
Amoeba

7. Amoeba Feeding & Waste removal
Heterotroph (eats bacteria, algae & other protozoa
Surrounds food and engulfs it with pseudopods
Moves by cytoplasmic streaming
Can change shape
Waste is removed by the vacuole
Amoeba Feeding & Waste removal

8. Amoeba Reproduction Asexual reproduction only Through binary fission
One organism splits into two genetically identical organisms
Amoeba Reproduction

9. Organization: Single-celled, shaped like a shoe sole & has cilia
Respond to Environment: Cilia allows it to move toward food or away from predators
Energy Use: Heterotrophic- uses cilia to sweep food into the oral groove
Evolve/Adapt: Stiff elastic membrane gives it shape and is covered in cilia that allow it to spiral through water
Paramecium

10. Paramecium Feeding & Waste removal
Heterotroph (eats bacteria, algae & yeast)
Cilia sweeps food into oral groove
Moves by cilia
Has 2 nuclei: one large & one small
Waste is removed by the vacuole
Paramecium Feeding & Waste removal

11. Paramecium Reproduction
Asexual reproduction Through binary fission
One organism splits into two genetically identical organisms
Sexual reproduction occurs if there is environmental stress or overcrowding.
Example of how paramecium response to the environment and evolve/adapt
