2a. Unicellular organism has a flagellum and chloroplasts. G: Euglena\boxed{\text{G: Euglena}}
2b. Unicellular organism is filamentous and photosynthetic. H: Spirogyra\boxed{\text{H: Spirogyra}}

3a. Multicellular organism is a plant (autotrophic, has cell walls). Go to 4
3b. Multicellular organism is an animal (heterotrophic, no cell walls). Go to 7

4a. Plant reproduces by spores; no flowers or seeds. B: Fern Plant\boxed{\text{B: Fern Plant}}
4b. Plant produces flowers and seeds. Go to 5

5a. Plant has parallel venation in leaves and fibrous roots (monocot). C: Maize Plant\boxed{\text{C: Maize Plant}}
5b. Plant has net venation in leaves and a taproot (dicot). Go to 6
