| Protist | a single or many celled organism that lives in moist or wet surroundings. |
| Eulenophyta | Euglena, have the characteristics of both plants and animals. |
| flagellum | a whiplike tail used for movement. |
| Euglena | a photosynthetic organism with a flagellum and an eyespot |
| chrysophyta | diatoms |
| diatoms | photosynthetic one celled algae that store food in the form of oil. Have golden brown pigment. |
| silica | the shells of diatoms are made out of this. |
| pyrrophyta | dinoflagellates |
| dinoflagellates | means spinning flagellates. Called the fire algae because of their red color. |
| chlorophyta | green algae |
| green algae | most diverse group of protists. Can be one or many celled. |
| Rhodophyta | red algae |
| red algae | contain a carbohydrate called carrageenan. It is used to give toothpast and pudding their smooth creamy textures. |
| phaeophyta | brown algae |
| brown algae | kelp is an example of this organism. Many people eat this organism. |
| Protozoa | one celled animal like protists |
| sarcodina | this phylum of protozoans move by pseudopods. |
| Amoeba | a sarcodine. It moves by pseudopods or false feet. |
| Mastigophora | this phylum of protozoans move by a flagessa. |
| trypanosoma | this is a flagellate that causes the disease African Sleeping sickness. |
| ciliophora | most complex protozoans. Move by cilia |
| Paramecium | is a ciliate. |
| Macronucleus | controls everyday activities |
| micronucleus | functions in reproduction. |
| sporozoans | the only parasitic protozoans with no way of moving on their own. |
| slime molds | a fungus like protist. During part of its life it moves by pseudopods.Live on decaying logs or dead leaves. |
| water molds | a fungus like protist responsible for the potato famine. |
| hyphae | a mass of many celled threadlike tubes. |
| spores | reproductive cells that form a new organism without fertilization. |
| zygomycota | zygote fungi; produce spores in round spore cases. |
| sporangia | the round spore cases of zygomycota. |
| ascomycota | sac fungi |
| ascus | the sac like structure that forms spores for the sac fungi. |
| basidiomycota | club fungi |
| basidium | the club like structure that forms spores for the club fungi. |
| imperfect fungi | a sexual stage has never been observed. Penicillium is a member of this group. |
| deuteromycota | imperfect fungi |
| lichens | made up of a fungus and a cyanobacterium or a green algae. |
| red tide | made up of dinoflagellates. Can be deadly to fish because the dinoflagellates contain toxins. |
