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
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
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

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

EUGLENA
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
•
Euglena
•
•
•
•
•
Moves by a flagellum
eye spot
Contains chloroplasts
Common in fresh water
No cell wall so it can change shape.`
AMOEBA
• Found in
freshwater and
saltwater around a
lot of dead and
decaying material.
• Hunter
• Can be parasite in
humans
Amoeba
• Moves by cytoplasmic streaming
• Surrounds food and engulfs it using
pseudopods. The food is then stored
and digested in vacuoles.`
Amoeba
•
•
•
•
Changes shape drastically
Heterotrophic
Eats bacteria, algae, and other protists
Reproduces asexually
•Movement- The cell shapes itself into
pseudopods (false feet)
•amoeba video
Amoeba
• Reproduction- - asexual
PARAMECIUM
• Found in freshwater.
• This is a single-celled
organism.
• Cilia sweep food into
food passageway.
•
V
Paramecium
•
•
•
•
Shape of a pill capsule
Heterotrophic
Relatively large
Common in pond scum and
freshwater
• Has two nuclei (macro and
micro)`Sexual reproduction
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`
VOLVOX
• Found in ponds
ditches and puddles.
• Composed of a
colony of more than
50,000 tiny cells
• Often called algae.
• `
Volvox continued…
• photosynthesis and
flagella help bring
in nutrients.
• Eyespots sense
light.
• `
Volvox continued…
• Movement- Many flagella
help move the colony.
• Reproduction- asexual
and sexual
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`
Volvox
• Type of green algae
• freshwater – ponds, ditches,
puddles, lagoons
• Colonies use flagella to swim
• Cells have eyespots
• Makes food by photosynthesis
