Phytoplankton: Euglena, Volvox, Zooplankton: Amoeba, Paramecium

Nutrition:Heterotroph- oral groove to food vacuole, merges with a lysosome which digests it.

Locomotion:By cilia- covering cell

Respiration/Excretion: by diffusion across cell membrane

Regulation: receptors on cell membrane

Reproduction:Asexual

Nutrition:Heterotroph- phagocytosis forms a food vacuole, merges with a lysosome and digests it

Locomotion:Pseudopodia

Respiration/Excretion:Diffusion through the cell membrane

Regulation:Receptors on cell membrane detect chemicals

Reproduction: Asexual
