BJU Life Science - Chapter 7

Bulges of cytoplasm that serve as an anchor while the rest of the cell pulls together.

Spores are formed in pots - one type killed millions of frogs.

Can reproduce sexually or asexually.

Tiny hair-like structures that aid in movement in paramecium.

More animal-like protists - they move themselves and capture prey.

An antibiotic derived from a mold.

The long filaments of the fungus family; usually connected end-to-end.

The common trait of the protist kingdom.

Many varieties are photosynthetic - fall under the "catchall" term of algae.

Protists of either plant or animal-like varieties that provide 90% of the food in the ocean.

An organism that obtains food from dead organic matter.

Whip-like tails found in one-celled organisms to aid in movement.

When fungi and algae live together; appearing as a single organism.

The common mushroom we think of along with puffballs and shelf fungi.

Animal-like protists capable of an oozing kind of motion using pseudopods.

Truffles and baker's yeast are examples.

Any organism that is not an animal, plant, bacteria, or fungi.

Used by paramecium to engulf food and then digest it - send it to be used in the cytoplasm.

These have no form of sexual reproduction.

Where colonies of algae break apart and form new colonies.

Protist which caused the Irish Potato Famine in the middle 1800s.

Used in reproduction and preserving mold during unfavorable conditions.

Black bread mold is an example.

Kingdom which includes bread mold and mushrooms - have long filaments and spores.

When protozoans connect their oral grooves and exchange genetic material.

Caused by the algae called dinoflagellates - toxins are deadly to fish and shellfish.

Protist parasites that live in many insects.

When fungi and bacteria break down the organic material and return materials to the soil.

Fungus-like protists that play key role in recycling organic material - can become on large cell.

When two species both benefit from living together.

Have hair-like cilia which beat in rhythmic waves and provide locomotion.

A fibrous substance consisting of polysaccharides - same material as the exoskeletons of insects.
