| Protista | Kingdom that contains protists |
| Protists | a diverse group of unicellular and some multicellular eukaryotes that lack complex organs systems and live in moist environments; may be autotrophs or heterotrophs |
| Protozoa | animal-like protists; unicellular, heterotrophic organisms that are grouped by their method of movement |
| Algae | plant-like protists that lack organs like roots, stems, and leaves |
| Slime Molds | fungus-like protists the can move at some point in their life and do not have chitin in their cell wall |
| Protist and you | some protist cause disease, photosynthetic protists produce oxygen to breathe, and some fungus-like protists act as decomposer of organic material |
| Methods of Protozoan movement | cilia, flagella, and pseudopodia(cytoplasmic streaming) |
| Groups of Protozoans | amoeba, flagellates, ciliates, and sporozoans |
| Protozoan representative | Paramecium |
| sporozoans | group of protozoans that have no method of movement and are parasitic |
| cilia | tiny hair-like structures used by ciliates for movement |
| oral groove | opening on a paramecium that is lined with cilia; acts as a mouth in that food particles are swept into it |
| gullet | as food passes into the oral groove it enters the gullet a structure that forms food vacuoles |
| micronucleus | smaller nucleus found in a paramecium; exchanged with another paramecium during sexual reproduction (conjugation) |
| macronucleus | large nucleus found in a paramecium; controls that cells functions |
| anal pore | waste material leave the cell through this structure |
| contractile vacuole | used to pump out excess water in the protist |
| phytoplankton | photosynthetic unicellular protists |
| unicellular algae | euglenoids, diatoms, and dinoflagellates |
| multicellular algae | green algae, red algae, and brown algae |
| pellicle | flexible covering made of protein that surrounds the cell membrane |
| eyespot | structure that sense the presense of light |
| Algae representative | Euglena |
| Euglena | unicellular photosynthetic protist that has plantlike and animallike characteristics |
| Slime Mold representative | Cellular Slime Mold |
| Types of Slime Molds | plasmodial and cellular |
| phyla of fungus-like protists | two slime molds and one water mold |
| slime molds can be found... | cool, moist, shady places where they grow on damp organic matter; like rotting leaves, etc. |
| Paramecium diagram, Euglena diagram, and Cellular Slime Mold life cycle | What I must know for the test |
| amoebalike cells | animal-like stage of a cellular slime mold in which individual cells feed, grow, and divide |
| pseudoplasmodium | slug-like stage of a cellular slime mold; consists of a mass of cells(multicellular); forms when food is scarce |
| fruiting body | fungus-like stage of a cellular slime mold; consists of a spore-filled capsule on a stalk |
| spore | reproductive cell within a hard outer coat that forms a new organism when conditions are ideal for growth |
| pelliicle | found outside the cell membrane on some protists this structure is used to provide support for the cell because it doesn't have a cell wall. |
| food vacuole | this structure combines with digestive enzymes to break down food particles; formed by the gullet |
