Chapter 11

Chapter 11 focuses on protists and fungi. Kingdom Protista includes Algae (Plant-like protists) and Protozoa (Animal-like protists). All protists are eukaryotic, which means their cells have a nucleus. The Algae that we studied include red algae, brown algae, green algae, diatoms, dinoflagellates and euglenoids. The Protozoa that we studied include sarcodines (amoeba-like), flagellates, ciliates and sporozoans (spore-forming).

Fungi are divided up into four main groups: threadlike fungi, sac fungi, club fungi and imperfect fungi. A lichen is a combination of a fungus and an alga that grown intertwined.
