Identify the organism below and the structure it uses to move. Question 1 options:

Paramecium; cilia

Protozoan; flagella

Amoeba; pseudopod

Parasite; contractile vacuole

Question 2 (1 point)
Which of the following best compares the structures in protists and fungi that allow these organisms to explore their environment.

Question 2 options:

Protists and fungi move using cilia, flagella, and hyphae.

Some protists move using cilia and flagella. Fungi do not move but have fast growing hyphae.

Protists move using hyphae. Some fungi move using cilia, and flagella.

Neither protists nor fungi have cilia, flagella, and hyphae. They obtain energy only if the food source moves by them.
