What is a protist
Eukaryotes
|
What is pseudopods
Cytoplasmic projections that unicellular protists use to change shape.
|
What is autotrophic protists
Protists that take in energy from the sun and usually float at surface of water.
|
What is slime molds
Phylum is mytmycota, funguslike heterotrophs, and grow among damp, decaying plant material.
|
What is macronuclei
"Lending Library" multiple copies of genes cells uses in its day to day uses
|
|
What is a single group
Scientists discovered that many animal/fungus like protists were so similar that they belong in this amount of groups.
|
What is cilia and flagella
These structures help protists move
|
What is chlorophyta
Name the phylum of green algae
|
What is amoebas
Water-borne protists Parasites that live in ponds, puddles, and damp soil. Can be parasitic and spread disease.
|
What is spornagium
Produces spores that are flagellated that help conduct the process of asexual reproduction
|
|
What is prokaryotes
Genetic and fossil evidence indicates that eukaryotes evolved from what
|
What is passive movement
Plasmodium which is a protist carried by mosquitoes and cause malaria is an example of this kind of movement.
|
What is interact patterns, has cell walls formed by a double shell, microscopic, move by gliding, found in both fresh and salt water, principle producers in food webs, phylum: bacllariophyta
Describe what a diatom looks like and name phylum
|
What is fungi
Cell walls are made of chitin and they are very important decomposers that are also heterotrophic eukaryotes.
|
What is algal bloom
Disrupts an ecosystem homeostasis and depletes nutrients from water
|
|
What is archaea and bacteria
Protists are more closely related to this
|
What is conjugation
Most common way protists reproduce where two organisms exchange material by attaching to each other.
|
What is heterotrophic protists
Some engulf and digest food, some live by absorbing molecules from environment, has a small food vacuole in their cytoplasm that stores food, and materials are digested rapidly.
|
What is asexual reproduction
This type of reproduction is by means of spores.
|
What is dinoflagellates
Marine flagellate armored in stiff cellulose walls, has 2 flagella, are the color red and reproduce in great numbers which causes a "red tide."
|
|
What is protist dilemma
The problem that scientists had to face when they found out there were two many protists to put into just three groups.
|
What is micronuclei
"Reference Library" reserve copy of every gene
|
What is paramecium
Able to use cilia to sweep food into the organism then into the stomach gullet and then into food vacuoles.
|
What is symbiotic relationship
A type of relationship where both organisms benefit. For example the relationship between a tree and a fungi growing underneath the soil.
|
What is coral reefs
Phylum is zooxanthe;;ae
