 Protist | - Eukaryotic organism that cannot be classified as an animal , plant , or fungi |
| Pseudopods | a "false foot" or temporary bilge of cytoplasm used for feeding and movement in some protozoans |
| contractile vacuole | Cell structure that collects extra water from the cytoplasm and then expels it from the cell. |
| Cilia | hairllike projections in the outside of cells that move in a wavelike manner. |
| Symbiosis | close relationship between two organisms in which at least one of the organism benefits. |
| Mutualism | Type of symbiosis in which both partners benefit from living together. |
| Algae | Autotrophs plant like protists |
| pigments | Chemical that produces color |
| spore | Tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism |
| Fungi | --eukaryotes that have cell walls, are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, and use spores to reproduce --they need moist, warm places in which to grow. They thrive on moist foods, damp tree barks, lawns coated with dew, damp forest floors, and even wet bathroom tiles. |
| Hyphae | The branching, threadlike tubes that make up the bodies of multicellular fungi. |
| fruiting bodies | The reproductive structure of a fungus that contains many hyphae and produces spores. |
| budding | A form of asexual reproduction of yeast in which a new cell grows out of the body of a parent. |
| lichen | The combination of a fungus and either an alga or an autotrophic bacterium that live together in a mutualistic relationship. |
| Protozoan | animal like protist |
