3 types of locomotion:

  1. pseudopods : eg: amoebas. extensions of their cytoplasm, called false feet.
  2. flagella : long
  3. cilia : numerous shorter appendages.

What are the three structures protozoans use to move?

Protozoans move using cilia, flagella, or pseudopods. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism. Flagella are longer whip-like structures that provide propulsion through a whipping motion. Pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that help the protozoan move by flowing in the direction of the extension.


List the 4 type of animals-like protisis and how does each type move or live?

The 4 type of animals-like protisis and how each type move or live 1. protozoans- move and feed by forming pseudopods 2.protozoans- move with cilia (like hairs with a wave-like motion) 3.protozoans- move with flagella (long whiplike) 4.protoans that are parasites- move w their hosts or move by slime, some have flagella


How are algae different from protozoans?

Protozoa typically refer to heterotrophic, unicellular protists such as amoeba. The term algae is reserved for autotrophic protists. They can either be unicellular or multicellular aggregates.


Suppose there were singled-celed protozoans in the test tube with Elodea when you the white light experiment. Could you still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis?

Yes, you could still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis by measuring the change in dissolved oxygen in the water over time. The presence of single-celled protozoans would not significantly affect the ability to measure the rate of oxygen production by the Elodea.


Animal like protists that use structures called?

Animal-like protists that use structures called pseudopods to move and feed are known as amoebas. These organisms are able to extend and retract these pseudopods to capture food particles and propel themselves through their environment.

What is example of a flagellate?

Euglena and zaporia are flagellates, as are dinoflagelletes and zooflagellates. Flagellates are protozoans that use their flagella organelle to move. Protozoa are also unicellular eukaryotes.


How are protozoans classified?

Protozoans are classified by the way they move. Some have Cilia or Flagella, but the amoeba has an unusual way of moving by stretching it's cytoplasm into finger-like extensions called pseudopodia. The ameba use its cytoplasm to move and eat another cell


Is flagella in the female body?

No, its a small mechanisms animal-like protists aka Protozoans use to move around. It may be one flagellum or multiple flagella


The structure that sticks out from the cells surface and allows it to move is an?

The structure that sticks out from the cell surface and allows it to move is called a flagellum. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that some cells use to propel themselves through their environment.

What type of Protozoans feed on the cells?

Parasites. The fourth type of the protozoans are characterized more by the way the live than by the way they move. They are all parasites that feed on the cells and body fluids of their hosts. These protozoans move in a variety of ways. Some have Flagella, and some depend on hosts for transport. One even produces a layer of slime that allows it to slide from place to place!
