...: 1. eyepiece-where you look through to see the image of your specimen.
2. objective lenses-(4X, 10X, 40X) Magnifies the specimen. The higher the power, the more magnified it is.
3. arm-part of the microscope that you carry the microscope with.
4. coarse adjustment knob-large, round knob on the side of the microscope used for focusing the specimen; it may move either the stage or the upper part of the microscope.
5. fine adjustment knob-small, round knob on the side of the microscope used to fine-tune the focus of your specimen after using the coarse adjustment knob.
6. stage-large, flat area under the objectives; it has a hole in it (see aperture) that allows light through; the specimen/slide is placed on the stage for viewing.
7. diaphraghm-controls the amount of light going through the aperture.
8. light or mirror-source of light usually found near the base of the microscope; the light source makes the specimen easier to see.

Animal-Like Protists: four main types and how they move: Zooflagellates: flagella
Sarcodines: pseudopods
Ciliates: cilia
Sporozoans: attach to a host
3.
Fungus-Like Protists: how they resemble real fungi: Both are heterotrophs that absorb nutrients from dead and decaying matter, grow in damp & nutrient-rich environments, and absorb through cell membranes
4.
Plant-Like Protists: three types of multicellular algae: Red algae, green algae, brown algae

Two Ways Protists Move: Cilia and flagella

What Paramecium are and Their Life Processes: They are unicellular protists and protozoan ciliates. They reproduce by splitting once they grow large enough. They eliminate waste and use water with their water-expelling vesicles. They exchange gases through their cell membranes. They use energy by eating with their food vacuoles, and they respond to the environment by searching for food, bumping into and swimming away from things, and staying away from extreme temperatures.
