| Term | Definition |
|---|
| Protist | single celled or simple multicellular eukaryotic organisms.produce oxygen, carbs for aquatic animals, and participate in several symbiotic relationships varying body plans, means of movement, and means of obtaining food |
| Ways of reproducing in Fungi | budding, fragmentation, spores |
| Theory of Protista's evolution | arose from prokaryotic cells, emerged early in the history of domain eukarya |
| means of movement | flagella, cilia, or contractile vacuole |
| hyphae | They absorb food and secrete digestive enzymes to break down organic matter |
| apicomplexa | they cannot move, they are usually animal parasities, they cause many diseases |
| pseudopodia | protozoa use it for movement and eating |
| algae and plants | both are photosynthetic, both have pigments and carotenoids which provide color plants have chloroplasts |
| phytoplankton | free floating unicellular aquatic organisms |
| plasmodial slime molds | move like amoebas can be as large as several square meters, found on forest floor. contain many diploid nuclei |
| cellular slime molds | live as individual haploid cells, creep over the ground. they can gather together and form a pseudoplasmodium |
| water molds | reproduce asexually and sexually, some can attack aquatic organisms such as fish |
| Cessile | cannot move |
| Algal Blooms | occur when temperatures are high and nutrients are strong, vast increase in the concentration of diatoms and other protists |
| byproducts of protists | alginate (used in cosmetics), carrageenan (used for food texture), agar (used to culture bacteria), diatomaceous earth (used for detergents) |
| protist caused diseases | malaria, amebiasis, sleeping sickness, and leishmaniasis |
| fungi | non photosynthetic, most are heterotrophs, most are molds or yeasts |
| mycelium | forms the body of fungus |
| dimorphism | the ability to exist in two different forms |
| club fungi | called this because they produce basidia during sexual reproduction |
| conjugation | when two protists share genetic information from their micronuclei through a pilus |
| pellicle | clear elastic layer of protein that surrounds the cell membrane |
| brine shrimp | filter feeders, use contractile vacuole to move, reproduce sexually or asexually |
| parthenogenesis | asexual reproduction in brine shrimp |
| sarcomastigophorans | use flagella to move |
| ciliophora | use cilia to move |
| kingdom phylum class order family genus species | order of classification (no commas) |
| ways of reproducing in protists | binary fission, multiple fission, conjugation |
