Paramecia live mostly in freshwater and move with the use of structures called cilia. They utilize contractile vacuoles to expel water that enters the cell by osmosis. Euglena are unicellular organisms that use flagella for movement and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. They are found in freshwater and saltwater. Scientists have determined that Paramecia and Euglena are eukaryotes and not prokaryotes because they have
Which of the following descriptions is not true of all eukaryotes? (a) They are multicellular. (b) They have cellular organelles. (c) They have a larger cell size than prokaryotes have. (d) They have a true nucleus. (e) All of the above are characteristics of all eukaryotes.
In observing a cell, you note the presence of flagella. What could you look for to distinguish this specimen between a prokaryotic cell and an animal cell?  Group of answer choices Confirm the presence or absence of a plasma membrane. Confirm the presence of a cell wall. Confirm the presence or absence of a nucleus. Confirm the presence or absence of ribosomes.
