Nucleus
Which organism(s) contain this organelle?
(Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and/or Spirogyra) - Answer -Largest structure in the
cell, holds the DNA.

Cytoplasm
Which organism(s) contain this organelle?
(Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and/or Spirogyra) - Answer -Gives the cell its shape

,(Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and/or Spirogyra) - Answer -Structure that helps
change light energy into sugars that the plant cell can use.
Spirogyra, Euglena
Chlorophyll
Which organism(s) contain this organelle?
(Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and/or Spirogyra) - Answer -Green pigment that
gives plants their green appearance.
Spirogyra, Euglena
Flagellum
Which organism(s) contain this organelle?
(Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and/or Spirogyra) - Answer -Whip-like structure 's
main function is movement.
Euglena
Cell membrane
Which organism(s) contain this organelle?
(Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and/or Spirogyra) - Answer -Also called plasma
membrane, it is a protective layer.
Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and Spirogyra
Cell wall
Which organism(s) contain this organelle?
(Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and/or Spirogyra) - Answer -Protective layer of plant
cells.
Spirogyra.
How have the microscope slides been treated to enhance the organisms' visibility? -
Answer -Magnifications on the lenses and slides help improve visibility.
Eukaryotic cells - Answer -More complex cells. has an established nucleus. evolved
from prokaryotes and contain different organelles than prokaryotes (such as the golgi
body and endoplasmic reticulum).
Prokaryotic cells - Answer -Most simple cells do not have an established nucleus and
stores DNA in the nucleoid.
, What are the two main types of prokaryotic cells? - Answer -Bacteria and archaea.
What are the four main categories of eukaryotic cells? - Answer -Protists, fungi, plants,
and animals.
What two structural characteristics do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells share? - Answer
-Cell membrane and cytoplasm.
Is Amoeba a bacterium or eukaryotic cell? - Answer -Eukaryotic cell.
How do amoeba move? - Answer -Pseudopodium.
Is Paramecium a prokaryotic or eukaryotic organism? - Answer -Eukaryotic organism.
How does Paramecium move? - Answer -Cilia
Phytoplankton - Answer -Microscopic, free-floating, autotrophic organisms that function
as producers in aquatic ecosystems.
How does Euglena move? - Answer -Flagella
How does Spirogyra move? - Answer -Spirogyra cells form a long chain and bend to
move.
What is one way in which Amoeba and Paramecium differ from Euglena and Spirogyra?
- Answer -Amoeba have pseudopodium.
Paramecium have a contractile vacuole.
Euglena have flagellum.
Spirogyra have a cell wall.
What are the steps in a classic scientific experiment? - Answer -Make an observation,
form a question, form a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, collect and analyze data,
and make a conclusion.
Stage 1 of the hypothesis for the origin of life. - Answer -Synthesis of organic
compounds
OC's- molecules that have carbon and hydrogen
Water vapor, methane, ammonia, and electricity combine to create new OC's like amino
acids
