| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a characteristic of Protist producers? | color depends on the chlorophyll pigment |
| Protists that make their own food | Protist Producers |
| Protists that eat other things | Protist Consumers |
| An organism that can not make its own food | Heterotroph |
| Protists that eat dead or decaying organisms | Protist Decomposers |
| Which Protist type has chloroplast | Protist Producers |
| Protists reproduce asexually through binary fission OR ... | multiple fission |
| What is binary fission? | When one Protist becomes two |
| What is multiple fission? | When one Protist turns into three or more Protists. |
| What is conjugation? | When two Protists join together and create four new Protists. |
| What is flagella? | A whip-like strand that helps Protists move. |
| What is a pseudopodia? | a false foot that helps the amoeba to move and get food. |
| What is cillia? | Thousands of tiny, short strands that help a Protist move. |
| What is a characteristic of Heterotrophs that move? | called Protozoans |
| What is a Protozoan? | Another name for a Heterotroph that can move. |
| Red, Green, and Brown algae are all examples of ... | Protist Producers |
| Diatoms, dinoflagellates, and euglenoids are all examples of... | Protist Producers |
| What is a contractile vacuole? | In a Protist that helps it get rid of extra water. |
| What is a food vacuole? | Helps an organism digest food. |
| Amoebas, radiolarians, zooflagellates, and ciliates are all examples of... | Heterotrophs that can move |
| Spore-forming, water molds, and slime molds are all examples of ... | Heterotrophs that can't move |
| Most of these Protists are parasites. | Heterotrophs that can't move |
| What is a spore? | Small reproductive cells covered by a thick wall to keep them safe in bad conditions. |
| What is a fungi? | eukaryotic, heterotrophs with rigid cell walls |
| What is mycorrhiza? | when plants and fungi benefit from each other |
| What is hyphae? | thread-like fungal filaments with opening in the cell walls |
| What is mycelium? | hyphae in a twisted mass underground |
| What are the two different ways fungi can reproduce asexually? | Hyphae break apart to form two new fungi OR they produce spores that are carried by the wind |
| What type of fungi reproduce asexually with sporangia, are decomposers and include bread mold? | Thread-like fungi |
| What is sporangia? | a spore case full of spores in thread-like fungi |
| What is mold? | shapeless, fuzzy fungi |
| What type of fungi are multicellular, used in food, include yeast and mildew, and reproduce sexually and asexually in their life cycle? | Sac Fungi |
| What type of fungi include all the fungi that do not fit in any other group? | Imperfect Fungi |
| What type of fungi are umbrella shaped, reproduce sexually with basidia, and include mushrooms and smuts? | Club Fungi |
| What is a lichen? | a combination of a fungus and a alga |
| Why are lichen important? | They can determine if their is air pollution because they will not grow if there is. |
| What is basidia? | club-like structure where spores form in club fungi |
