  1. definitions of vocabulary words:
worddefinition
endocytosis
exocytosis
multicellular organism
whip - like structure beats back and forth to propel cell
binary fissionnew offspring are out growth of parents cell and are smaller than parent cell
ciliates join and exchange the genetic material from their nuclei increases genetic variation
multiple fission/schizogonydoes not result in new organisms
\hairlike\ structures wiggle to make movement
extending false foot that pulls the rest of the cell along behind

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes in substances by engulfing them with its cell - membrane. Exocytosis is the process by which a cell releases substances out of the cell by fusing a vesicle with the cell - membrane. A multicellular organism is an organism composed of many cells. The description about the whip - like structure is for a flagellum. The description for binary fission is incorrect; binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into two equal daughter cells. The description about ciliates joining and exchanging genetic material is for conjugation. Multiple fission (schizogony) is a form of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into multiple daughter cells. The "hair - like" structures for movement are cilia. The extending false foot is a pseudopod.

Answer:

Endocytosis: The process by which a cell takes in substances by engulfing them with its cell - membrane.
Exocytosis: The process by which a cell releases substances out of the cell by fusing a vesicle with the cell - membrane.
Multicellular organism: An organism composed of many cells.
Flagellum: Whip - like structure beats back and forth to propel cell.
Binary fission: A form of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into two equal daughter cells.
Conjugation: Ciliates join and exchange the genetic material from their nuclei, increases genetic variation.
Multiple fission/schizogony: A form of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into multiple daughter cells.
Cilia: "Hair - like" structures wiggle to make movement.
Pseudopod: Extending false foot that pulls the rest of the cell along behind.
