Unit 2 Lesson 2

Question 1

Kingdom Protista

Answer 1

A group of eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as fungi, plants, or animals

They have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Can be single celled or multicellular
Autotrophs or heterotrophs
Sexual or asexual reproduction

Question 2

What structures do Protists have to help them move?

Answer 2

Cilia - hairlike structures that beat back and forth

Flagella - whiplike structures that propel the
cell forward

Pseudopod - false foot. Protists that move by stretching their bodies form pseudopods

Question 3

Asexual Reproduction in Protists

Answer 3

Binary Fission - divides into 2 cells
Fragmentation - a piece breaks off the organism and forms a new organism

Question 4

Sexual reproduction in Protists

Answer 4

2 cells called gametes join together

Question 5

Spores

Answer 5

Reproductive cells that are resistant to stressful environmental conditions

Diploid adults ——-Haploid spores ——-Haploid adults —-Haploid gametes ——diploid zygote

Question 6

Alternation of generations

Answer 6

The cycle between sexual and asexual reproduction in protists

Question 7

Kinds of Protists

Answer 7

Animal-like Protists - cannot make their own food. Can move around

Plant-like Protists - are producers. Make most of the world’s oxygen. (ALGAE)

Fungus-like Protists - cannot move. Absorb nutrients from the environment

Question 8

Fungi

Answer 8

Spore-producing organisms that absorb nutrients from the environment

They are consumers. They cannot move. They are made of eukaryotic cells

Question 9

Hyphae

Answer 9

Chains of threadlike fungal filaments

Question 10

How do fungi reproduce

Answer 10

Asexual and sexual reproduction

Question 11

Types of fungi

Answer 11

Zygote fungi
Sac fungi
Club fungi

Question 12

Mycorrhiza

Answer 12

Partnership between fungus and the roots of plants

Question 13

Lichen

Answer 13

Formed from Partnership between fungus and a green algae

They are sensitive to pollution
