Protista and Fungi Flashcards
(41 cards)
a kingdom of mostly one-celled eukaryotic organisms that are different from plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi
Protista
Cells with a nucleus. All Protists and Fungi have eukaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic Cells
Where do protists like to live
Moist environments
Protists that are heterotrophs like animals.
Animal-like protists
Examples of animal-like protists
Amoeba, Paramecium
Protists that are autotrophs like a plant.
Plant-like protists
Examples of plant-like protists
Euglena, algae
Protists that are decomposers
Fungus-like protists
Examples of fungus-like protists
Slime molds, water molds
Belongs to the group Sarcodine. Animal-like. Moves using pseudopodia.
Amoeba
Means false foot. Used by an amoeba to move and eat.
Pseudopod
A process where an amoeba takes in food.
Endocytosis (phagocytosis)
the inner portion of the cytoplasm
Endoplasm
group of protists that use cilia
cilitates
animal-like protist that moves by using cilia
Paramecium
the larger of a paramecium’s two nuclei
Macronucleus
the smaller nucleus that is exchanged during conjugation
Micronucleus
short hair like structures used by the paramecium to move
Cilia
process in which paramecia and some prokaryotes exchange genetic information a paramecium exchanges their micronucleus
Conjugation
plant-like(autotroph) and animal-like(heterotroph) protist that uses flagella to move
Euglena
eyespot on a euglena. Used to help the euglena find light.
Stigma
A thick membrane on the outside of some protists
Pellicle
Protist that has spiral chloroplasts
Spirogyra
A colonial green algae where each cell has a specific function
Volvox
