Protist
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| algal bloom | the rapid growth of algae |
| anal pore | in protist, an opening from which wastes are eliminated |
| autotroph | makes its own food |
| binary fission/asexual reproduction | one cell divides into two identical cells |
| chloroplast | captures suns energy to make food |
| cilia | tiny hairs-- help protists move through water and sometimes helps water go into the oral grove |
| ciliate example | paramecium |
| congugation | direct transfer of DNA between two cells that are temporarily joined together. This is a form of sexual reproduction because is produces two new unique cells with changed DNA |
| eukaryote | cell that has a nucleus |
| eutrophication | process where: 1.fertilizer runs into a body of water 2.water-plants grow too much 3.plants live and then die 4.bacteria decomposes the dead plants 5.bacteria uses up all the oxygen 6.fish and all die |
| eye spot | light-detecting organelle found in Euglena |
| flagelate example | Euglena |
| flagella | long whiplike structure that helps a cell move |
| heterotroph | can not make own food |
| host | an organism that has another organism living inside or on it |
| oral groove | the mouth of an organism |
| parasite | an organism that lives in or on another organism and HARMS THE HOST |
| pesticides | chemicals used to kill pests |
| predator | organism that feeds directly on other organisms |
| prey | organism caught for food |
| pseudopod | a temporary foot-like extension of a cell, used to move the cell forward or to capture prey. |
| red tide | salt water algal blooms that produce poison |
| sarcodine example | ameba, amoeba |
| spore | a tiny cell that grows into an organism |
| sporozoan example | plasmodium |
| Plant-like protist | have chlorophyl- so are autotrophs Euglena and diatons are the ones we worked with |
| Animal-like protist | do not make own food so are heterotrophs- and can move on their own Paramecium, Amoeba,Stentor and the ones we saw |
| fungi-like protist | make spores when during reproduction plasmodiam-that causes malaria is example |
| Exceptions to the rules for Fungi and Protist | Fungi are all multicellulare except yeast. Protist are all unicellular except kelp(seaweed |
| decomposer | organisms that break down dead material |
| symbiotic relationship | organisms that help each other |
| external digestion | organism sends out enzymes- digests the material- brings this digested material in |
| contaminate | pollute |
| protist kingdom | any living organism that has a nucleus and is not classified as a plant, animal or fungi |
