Amoeba and Peramecium head to head

Most protists have only one cell just like bacteria cool!!!But a few have many cells.The cool part is that they have a nucleus.Some protists make their own food just like plants but the others just absorb food from other things.Look at the pic at the top I know its kinda boring but it gives you and idea of what it looks like.I guess your wondering how many protist exist ummmm about 60,000 kinds of protist exist.That a lot for just how little they are!







This is a short clip on Amoeba in motion.But any way im going to tell you guys the difference between the animal like protist.Amoeba has a false foot called pseudopod that was a big word any way back on topic.The pseudopod is used to move around and to trap food.They can live on rocks and they can also live on plants and in pounds:)

 Parameciums moves by using tiny hairs to move around.The organisums called cillia are often found in ponds.I know this is random but i would never swim in a pond
This is a picture of Parameciums and there are two they are just side by side.You can see that the are kinda long and the Amoeba is kinda round..
