Biology 11 PLO B1: Protists Worksheet Unit 5 Lessons 1 to 3
1. Use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast a prokaryotic cell (Moneran) with a eukaryotic cell (Protista).(5 marks)
2. Use a 4-Point concept map to define and describe the characteristics of the Kingdom Protista. (10 marks)
3. Use the table below to relate the structural adaptations of 3 different Protists to their diverse roles in food chains and locomotion. (5 marks)
|Attribute |Example |Structural Adaptation |Food Chain Role |
|A. Food acquisition |Amoeba |An amoeba often has two nuclei |bacteria and microalgae can also |
| | |because of its size |feast on the amoeboid contents. |
| |Paramecium |paramecium and other fresh |Paramecia are a key link in detritus-based food|
| | |water protozoans have special |webs in aquatic ecosystems. |
| | |contractile vacuoles which bail| |
| | |out excess water. | |
| |Euglena |Euglena have a red eye-spot |they serve as excellent bio indicators of |
| | |that acts as a compass to |environment changes |
