Do euglenoids free float or attached (sessile)?

Euglenoids are typically free-floating organisms, using a flagellum to swim in water. However, some species can temporarily attach to surfaces using a stalk-like structure called a holdfast.


What is the struggle of organisms for the same limited resources called?

This struggle is called competition. Organisms compete with each other for resources such as food, water, and space in order to survive and reproduce.


Are photosynthetic organisms called consumers?

No, organisms that use photosynthesis are called producers because they capture sunlight energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugars, oxygen, and water. The glucose sugars are used by the plant to grow and reproduce. Since these plant organisms are creating biomass using sunlight, they are essentially producing food for other organisms to consume (who are called consumers).


How do unicellular organisms obtain water from their environment?

Unicellular organisms absorb water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. This allows unicellular organisms to maintain their internal water balance and carry out essential functions.
