QUESTION Use what you learned in the lecture on Bacteria and Archaea metabolism to classify the following protists based on the mode of nutrition they use. Amoeba are single-celled protists that capture food by forming structures called pseudopodia heterotroph autotroph Paramecium are single-celled ciliates that feed through an oral groove. Volvox is a colonial green algae (contains chloroplasts) Phytoplankton are aquatic photosynthesizers and are key producers of oxygen
