What to Focus On
- Visible movement is not the only evidence of life.

- Autotrophs make food from carbon dioxide and water.
- Heterotrophs depend on other organisms for food.
- Photosynthesis needs sunlight and chlorophyll.
- Amoeba uses pseudopodia and food vacuoles.
- Paramoecium uses cilia to bring food to a specific spot.
- Salivary amylase digests starch in the mouth.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Movement is the only proof of life.
Autotrophs and heterotrophs are the same because both need food.
