protist&fungi VOCAB

Stack #216698

QuestionAnswer
Protist any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungusm or prokaryote. Not members of the Plantae, Animilia, or Fungi kingdoms. Most are unicellular, some are not.
Animallike protists heterotrophs;distinguished by their means of movement; zooflag. swim/flagella, sarcodines move by extensions of their cytoplasm;ciliates move by means of cilia, and sporozoans do not move on their own at all.
Zoo flagellates animallike protists that swim using flagella that are in the phylum Zoomastigina; reproduce asexually by mitosis and cytokinesis and some can have sexual life cycle.
Sarcodines animallike protists that use pseudopods for feeding and movement; ex: Amoebas
Amoebas use pseudopods for movement and capturing prey;
Amoeboid movement locomotion when the cytoplasm of the cell streams into the pseudopod and the rest of the cell follows.
Food vacuole small cavity in cytoplas that temp. stores food.
Ciliates Members of the phylum Ciliphora that use cilia(hair like projections) for feeding and movement
Pseudopods "false feet" used for movement and feeding; amoebas have this; flexible.
Trichocysts very small bottle-shaped structures used for defense.
Macronucleus "storage" and "library" for genetical info for everyday actions that the cell needs.
Micronucleus "reserve copy" of all of the cell's genes.
Gullet an indentation in one side of the organism.
Anal pore where waste materials are emptied into the enviro. when the food vac. fuses with a region of the cell mem.
Conjugation process that paramecia do to exchange genetic material w/other individ.
Sporozoans members of the phylum Sporozoans(animallike protists) that do not move at all and are parasitic; free living; sporozoite.
Malaria serious disease caused by protist(animallike) Mosquito usually carries it. sporozoan Plasmodium causes malaria.
African sleeping sickness caused by protists(animallike) Trypanosoma cuase the disease; spread by bite of the tsetse fly
Amebic Dysentery caused by a harmless amoebas that you may find in a nearby pond; Entamoeba causes it and is spread by drinking contaminated water and can attack walls of intestine and cause extensive bleeding.
Plantlike protists photosynthetic; commonly called "Algae"
Accesory pigments compond that absorbs light at diff. wavelengths than chlorophyll. (chlo. and acc. pig. allow algae to harvest and use energy from sunlight.
Euglenophytes plantlike pro. that have 2 flagell, but no cell wall; have chloroplasts but in most other ways they are like zooflag.
Pellicle another word for the Euglenas's cell memb; ribbon like ridges and each are supported by microtubles.
Chrysophytes plantlike protists that are mems of the phylum and are diverse; have gold-colored chloroplasts.
Diatoms produce thin, delicate cell walls rich in Silicion(Si) main component of glass.
Dinoflagellates mems. of the phylum Pyrrophyta; about half are photosynthetic; other half live as heterotrophs.
Algae Green al. share many characteristics with plants, such as photosynthetic pigments and cell wall composition.
Fungilike protists heterotrophs that absorb nutrients from dead or decaying organic matter; unlike true fungi, they have centrioles; lack chitin cell walls of true fungi.
Fungi eukaryotic heterotrophs that have cell walls that are made of chitin, complex carbohydrate that can also be found in external skeletons of insects.
Hyphae tiny filament that makes up a mulitcellular fungus or a water mold.
Mycelium many hyphae tangled together into a thick mass' comprises the bodies of multicellular fungi.
Fruiting body repoductive structure growing from the mycel. in the soil beneath it.
Fungi Most reproduce asexually and sexually; asex. when hyphae breaks off from fungus and grow on their own or some produce spores and grow on their own.
Ascospores haploid spore produced within the ascus of ascomycetes; can germinate and grow into a haploid mycelium.
