Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 algae.1 | The group of protists characterized by chloroplasts, photosynthesis and a cell wall. |
| algae.2 | Called the "plant-like" protists. |
| alga | singlular for algae |
| cap | The top of a mushroom. |
| amoeboid movement | The process of alternating the areas of the cell membrane that bulge in and out, forming pseudopods and causing amoebas to move about in their environments. |
| chitin | The carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of Fungi. |
| colony | Hundreds or more single cell organisms massed together in the same area often appearing as one single organism but each cell functions independently. |
| conjugation | The form of sexual reproduction that paramecium perform. |
| filament | A long "string" of algae cells that are connected to one another end to end. |
| fragmentation | A type of asexual reproduction in which filaments break into two or more smaller filaments and continue to reproduce by mitosis. |
| germination | The process of a seed or spore sprouting and growing into a new organism. |
| gills | The slits in the underside of a mushroom, where spores are produced. |
| hyphus | The basic cell that all Fungi are made up of. |
| lichens | A symbiotic relationship between a species of Fungi and a species of algae. |
| mycelia | The physical structure of a fungus (not a plant) |
| plankton | The layer of small and microscopic organisms living in the sea and fresh water. |
| protists | Single and "simple" multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms. |
| protozoa.1 | The group of protists characterized by no cell walls and no chloroplasts that have to ingest other organisms to obtain their energy. |
| protozoa.2 | Call the "animal-like" protists. |
| saprophytes | The name for decomposers, meaning they obtain their nutrients by eating dead organic material. |
| slime molds.1 | The group of protists characterized by obtaining their nutrition by decomposing dead organisms. |
| slime molds.2 | Also called the "fungus-like" protists. |
| sporangia | The asexual reproductive structures of Fungi. |
| spore | The single-cell structure used by Fungi to reproduce asexually. |
| stalk | The "stem" of a mushroom. |
| stolons | Mold hyphae that run along the surface of the bread. |
| symbiotic | A relationship in which two organisms live closely together, and each organism benefits from the presence of the other. |
| yeasts | Unicellular Fungi which live in moist environments. |
