  • Why is the classification of protists in one kingdom so difficult?
    They resemble members of other kingdoms.
  • Little hair-like projections that move cells like oars on a rowboat.
    cilia
  • What makes something a eukaryote?
    1) Nucleus 2) Membrane bound organelles
  • A heterotrophic eukaryote with cell walls that contain chitin. Includes molds and mushrooms.
    fungi
  • What is chitin?
    Chitin makes up the cell walls of fungi
  • What are the three environments we find protists in?
    1) Water 2) Soil 3) Animals
  • What is a plant-like protist that has the same pigment as land plants and is commonly notices as slimy scum on rocks.
    Green Algae
  • True or False: All fungi are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food.
    True
  • What are TWO characteristics of plant-like protist?
    Autotrophs and exist in a wide variety of colors or pigments
  • Are protists heterotrophs, autotrophs, or both?
    Both!
  • What are plant-like protists also known as?
    Algae
  • Are fungi eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
    Eukaryotes
  • Are protists unicellular, multicellular, or both?
    Both!
  • True or False: All protists are eukaryotes.
    True
  • A tail-like appendage on an protist that acts like a propeller.
    flagellum
  • What are TWO characteristics of animal-like protists?
    They can move and heterotrophs
  • True or False: All fungi are eukaryotes.
    True
  • What do flagella, cilia, and pseudopods have in common?
    They aid in protists locomotion
  • Are fungi heterotrophs, autotrophs, or both?
    Heterotrophs!
  • Do fungi reproduce sexually or asexually or both?
    Both!
  • Protists that live mostly in water and use sunlight as a source of energy.
    algae
  • True or False: Fungi use seeds to reproduce.
    False
  • A eukaryote that is not a member of the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms; usually single-celled.
    protist
  • Do fungi preform photosynthesis?
    No! They are heterotrophs and do not use the sunlight to create energy.
  • Are protists eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
    Eukaryotes!
  • A hard substance that strengthens the cell walls of fungi and other organisms.
    chitin
  • What is a plant-like protist that has a pigment that is good at absorbing small amount of sunlight in deep ocean water?
    Red Algae
  • What is a plant-like protist that has beautiful glasslike cell walls and unusual shapes
    Diatoms
  • What do mycorrhizea fungi do?
    Extend the root network of plants in order to help plants find water and nutrients in the soil
  • A protist and fungus reproductive cell.
    spore
  • Do protists reproduce sexually or asexually or both?
    Both!
  • Are fungi unicellular or multicellular?
    Both!
  • True or False: Plant-like and fungus-like protists like wet surroundings, but animal-like protists do NOT like wet surroundings.
    False
  • True or False: Fungus-like protist use spores to reproduce.
    True
  • Autotrophic protists provide what important element through photosynthesis?
    Oxygen
  • A protist which has the ability to alter its shape, primarily by extending and retracting pseudopods.
    amoeba
  • Long, branching filaments made of cells. These compose the bodies of fungi.
    hyphae
  • What is a plant-like protist that can be many colors and has plant-like structures such as roots, stalks, an leaves.
    Brown Algae
  • A cytoplasmic projection from the organism that extends to allow the organism to move. Latin for "false foot"
    pseudopod
