 Kingdom Protista includes... | the widest variety of organisms, but all are eukaryotes |
| Most Protista are... | single-celled, but many are primitive multicelled eukaryotes |
| protista heterotrophs? | hetero and auto |
| protista examples of heterotrophs | amoeba and paramecium |
| protista examples of autotrophs | euglenas |
| protista move by... | using pseudopods (amoeba), cilia (paramecium) or flagellum (euglena) |
| Protista includes organisms that do not fit into the fungi or plant kingdoms such as... | slime mold and seaweeds |
| protista sexual reproduction?? | sometimes through conjugation, a primitive form of sexual reproduction where individuals exchange genetic materal, such as paramecium and algae |
| protista disease? | some cause amoebic dysentery and malaria |
| Kingdom Fungi are... | all heterotrophic eukaryotes which can be either unicellular or multicellular |
| Fungi carry out extracellular digestion by... | secreting hydrolytic enzymes outside the body; after digestion, the building blocks of the nutrients are absorbed into the body of the fungus by diffusion |
| fungi are important in ecosystems as... | decomposers |
| the cell walls of fungi are composed of | chitin not cellulose |
| certain fungi combine with algae in a mutualistic, symbiotic relationship forming... | lichens, which are photosynthetic; they are often the pioneer organisms which can colonize bare rock |
| fungi can reproduce... | asexually by budding (yeast), spore formation (bread mold), or fragmentation whereby a single parent breaks into parts that regenerate into whole new individuals; they can also reproduce sexually |
| examples of fungi are... | yeast, mold, mushrooms, and the fungus that causes athlete's foot |
| Kingdom Plantae | all are multicellular, nonmotile, autotrophic eukaryotes |
| plants store their carb's as | starch |
| plants reproduce... | sexually by alternating between gametophyte and sporophyte (2n) generations |
| plants that have vascular tissue are | tracheophytes |
| plants that do not have vascular tissues are | bryophytes |
| ex's of Plantae | mosses, ferns, cone-bearing and flowering plants |
| Kingdom Animalia | all are heterotrophi, multicellular eukaryotes; most are motile and can move on their own |
| the traditional way of classifying animals is primarily based on... | anatomical structures (homologous) and embryonic development |
| how many animal phyla are there? | nine |
