|---|
| Protozoa | Heterotrophic Protists |
| Algae | Photoautotrophic Protists |
| Conjugation | Temporary union of two organisms to exchange nuclear material |
| pseudopodia | cytoplasmic extensions in an amoeba, meaning "false feet" |
| Phylum Sarodina | This phylum all have pseudopodia and includes the ameoba |
| Phylum Zoomastigna | unicellular heterotrophs that have at least one flagellum |
| Phylum Ciliophora | This phylum contains unicellular heterotrophs that move by cilia |
| cilia | tightly packed rows of short flagella used for movement |
| Sporozoans | parasitic protozoa that form spores |
| sporozoite | the infective stage of Plasmodium |
| macronucleus | Large nuclues in paramecium that contains fragmentaed chromosomes and divides by pinching in two |
| micronucleus | contains the cells's chromosomes and divides by mitosis |
| flagella | thread-like protien structures that enable a cell to move |
| contractile vacuole | saclike organelles found in paracmecium that removes excell water from the cell |
| Tripanosoma | sporozoans that cause African sleeping disease and are carried by the tsetse fly |
| amoeboid movement | movement using cytoplasmic streaming |
| food vacuole | portion of cell membrane that surrounds that engulfed food particle. |
| eye spot | light sensitive pigment region |
| malaria | caused by plasmodium carried by female mosquitos |
| African Sleeping Disease | zoomastigna carried by the tsetse fly. |
| Giardia | zoomastigna that is waterborn and can be carried by muskrats. |
| algal bloom | Huge increases in aquatic algal population sizes after nutrient enrichments. |
| brown alga | Mostly marine photoautotrophic protistan. Includes kelp and has chlorophylls a c1 and c2 and carotenoids |
| chrysophyte | A category of photosynthetic protistans that includes the golden algae - yellow-green algae - coccolithophores and diatoms |
| dinoflagellate | Type of single-celled flagellatedcellulose-plated protistan. Most are producers of marine phytoplankton; some cause red tides |
| euglenoid | Single-celled flagellated protistan that is photosynthetic but with heterotrophic feeding apparatus |
| green alga | Type of protistan that is biochemically and structurally most like plants heterocyst |
| phytoplankton | Aquatic community of floating or weakly swimming photoautotrophs |
| plankton | aquatic organisms unable to propel themselves |
| protistan | Photoautotroph or heterotroph (or both) |
| protozoan | Type of protistan that may be like the single-celled heterotrophs that gave rise to animals |
