| A | B |
|---|
| Fission | cell division |
| Reproduce by Regeneration | When part of an organism breaks off and both parts become whole organisms |
| Eukaryotic | cell with a membrane-bound nucleus |
| Protozoans | animal-like protists |
| Paramecium | cilliate example |
| Amoeba | rhizopod example |
| Proterospongia | flagellate example |
| Plasmodium | sporozoan example |
| Sporozoans | animal-like protists that are parasitic and may require more than one host to complete life cycle |
| Rhizopods | animal-like protists which use pseudopods to move |
| Slime molds | fungus-like protists that use pseudopods to move and reproduce with spores when conditions are no longer favorable |
| Downy mildew | fungus-like protist that is parasitic on plants, one caused the Irish potato famine |
| Water molds | fungus-like protist that lives in water or wet environments and reproduce with spores that have flagella |
| Ciliates | protozoans that move with wave-like motion of tiny hair-like structures over their body |
| Flagellates | single celled protozoans that use their whip-like tail to move |
| Euglenoids | plant-like protists that can both produce their own food and can eat food when sunlight isn't available |
| Green algae | plant-like protist with the greatest diversity (over 7,000 species); can be single or multi-cellular |
| Red algae | plant-like protist with red pigment that lets it absorb limited light available at greater depths (up to 200 m) |
| Brown algae | plant-like protist that is multi-cellular and can grow to 100 m (kelp); grows in cool salt water |
| Diatoms | single-celled plant-like protists that secrete a glass-like box around themselves |
| Dinoflagellates | single-celled plant-like protists with two flagella--one around the mid-section like a belt and the other at one end like a tail; fire algae is an example of one that glows |
| Plant-like protists | contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis; many have cell walls, known as algae |
| Fungus-like protists | must take in food from outside source; reproduce using spores; many can move using pseudopods |
| Animal-like protists | called protozoans; classified by how they move; have special vacuoles for digesting food and ridding the cell of excess water |
| Phagocytosis | the process used by amoeba to engulf food with a pseudopod |
| Giardia | flagellate found in contaminated water that causes severe diarrhea |
