| PROTIST | Eukaryotes that cannot be classifiedas animals, plants, or fungi. |
| PROTOZOAN | An animal-like protist |
| PSEUDOPOD | A “false foot” or temporary bulge of cytoplasm used for feeding and movement in some protozoans. |
| CONTRACTILE VACUOLE | A structure that collects the extra water and then expels it from the cell. |
| CILIA | Hairlike projections from cells that move with a wavelike motion. |
| SYMBIOSIS | A close relationship in which at least one of the species benefits. |
| MUTUALISM | When both partners benefit from living together. |
| ALGAE | Plant like Protist |
| PIGMENT | Chemicals that produce |
| SPORE | Tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism. |
| ALGAL BLOOM | The rapid growth of a population of algae. |
| RED TIDE | Saltwater algal blooms |
| EUTROPHICATION | Process in which nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, builds up in a lake or pond over time, causing an increase in algae growth. |
| FUNGI | Eukaryotes that have cell walls, are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, and use spores to reproduce. |
| HYPHAE | Branching, threadlike tubes that make up the bodies of multicellular fungi. |
| FRUITING BODY | The reproductive structure of a fungus that contains many hyphae and produces spores. |
| BUDDING | A form of asexual reproduction of yeast in which a new cell grows out of the body of a parent. |
| LICHEN | Consists of a fungus and either algae or autotrophic bacteria that live together in a mutualistic relationship |
