What is the difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic protozoa?
The autotrophic protozoa can produce their own sugar, they can photosynthesize. Heterotrophic protozoa must eat other organisms or decompose dead organic matter
Members of the Kingdom Protista are further classified into four Phyla based upon ______________.
their method of locomotion (how they move).
Plasmotomy allows protozoans to go through binary fission and make a clone of themselves. This process is similar to ___________ in human cells.
mitosis
Plasmodium falciparum is a disease causing protozoan that harms a human host. This classifies this organism as a ______________.
parasite
Which illness is caused by a protozoa? A) swine flu B) small pox C) malaria
malaria
Volvox is a great example of individual, single celled organisms living together in a _______________.
colony. These protists are often mistaken for being multicellular. They can live independently but want to form a big group for protection.
What are the requirements for being placed in the Kingdom Protista?
You must have a nucleus (Eukaryotic). You must be either unicellular or colonial. You must NOT be an animal, a plant, a Fungus, or a Bacteria.
Who is faster? Amoeba or Paramecium?
A paramecium is faster than an amoeba.

How fast can a paramecium swim?
Their speed of motion is about four times their own length per second.
What are the tiny cellular structures that allow a paramecium to swim?
Small, hair-like projections of the cytoskeleton called Cilia.
