Across
  1. 5. unicellular supergroup with a feeding groove
  2. 7. short, hair-like motility structures
  3. 8. supergroup that moves with pseudopodia
  4. 9. supergroup with a single posterior flagellum on cells that swim (HINT: not all cells in this group swim!)
  5. 12. "eats" organic particles to gain energy
  6. 13. supergroup with elaborate “shells” called tests that sequester carbon
  7. 14. using protein or carbohydrates to slide across an area (way of motility)
  8. 15. DNA-containing area of a eukaryotic cell
  9. 17. cells use a mix of auto- and heterotrophy
  10. 18. DNA-containing area of a prokaryotic cell
  11. 19. gametic cell division
Down
  1. 1. cells gain energy from sunlight (photosynthetic)
  2. 2. long, tail-like motility structure
  3. 3. somatic cell division
  4. 4. cells engulf food particles/nutrients that were already dissolved by the environment
  5. 6. supergroup with peripheral sacs below the cell membrane
  6. 10. "false-foot", amoeboid motility structure
  7. 11. cells engulf and digest food particles on their own
  8. 16. supergroup who has photosynthetic plastids that were derived from red algae
