Question

entify the type of movement described.


are long, thread-like extensions that grow from the protists to reach nutrients.

are long whip-like extensions used to move the protists to the nutrients needed.

are temporary foot-like extensions used to propel protists forward slowly through suctioning movement.

are hair-like extensions used like oars to propel the protists to nutrients.

Answer 1

1) Axopodia (a type of pseudopodium) — long, thread‑like extensions used to reach and capture nutrients.
2) Flagella — long, whip‑like tails used for propulsion.
3) Pseudopodia (amoeboid movement) — temporary, foot‑like extensions used for slow movement and engulfing food.
4) Cilia — short, hair‑like projections that beat like oars to move the protist.
