| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Protists | Eukaryotes that can not be classified as animals, plants, or fungi |
| Where do protists live? | Moist surroundings |
| What are the groups protists are divided into? | Animal-like protists, plant-like protists, and fungus-like protists |
| What are the characteristics of an animal-like protist? | Most are heterotrophs that move from place to place to obtain food |
| Pseudopods | The part of an amoeba used to move and feed with temporary bulges in the cell |
| Cilia | Hairlike projections that move with a wavelike motion and are used to obtain food |
| How do Paramecium move? | Paramecium move with their cilia |
| What kind of protists are paramecium? | Paramecium are animal-like protists |
| Symbiosis | A close relationship in which at least one ofthe species benefits from the other |
| What are the four groups of protozoans? | Protozoans with pseudopods, protozoans with cilia, protozoans with flagella, and protozoans that are parasites |
| What are the characteristics of a plant-like protist? | They are autotrophs that get food through the process of photosynthesis |
| Spore | A tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism |
| What are the characteristics of a fungus-like protist? | They are heterotrophs, have cell walls, and reproduce with spores |
| How are animal-like protists similar to animals? | They are both heterotrophs that move from place to place to get food. |
| How are animal-like protists different from animals? | Animals are multicellular while animal-like protists are unicellular. |
| How are fungus-like protists similar to fungi? | They both have cell walls and use spores to reproduce. |
| Volvox | Plant-like protists that move with flagella |
| Euglena | Plant-like protists that move with their flagellum |
| Amoeba | Protozoans that move with their pseudopods |
| Spirogyra | Plant-like protists that look like long rods or strips |
| What are the two types of plant-like protists? | Algae and Diatoms |
| What are two characteristics of a protist? | They are eukaryotes and they live in moist surroundings |
| How are cells organized into higher levels of structure from the most complex to the simplest? | Cell, System, Organ, Tissue |
| How are animals classified? | Body structure, the way the animal develops, and its DNA |
| What are the 4 major functions of animals? | To obtain food and oxygen, keep internal conditions stable, move, and reproduce. |
| How do animals keep their stable internal conditions? | By adapting to their environments. |
| Why do animals move? | To find homes, survive, and reproduce |
| Structures and Functions of Black Worm | They are brown and thin. Able to reproduce with its body through fragmentation. The other part regenerates. Twists body like a corkscrew. They also have a rapid escape reflex with their tail that shortens their tail to avoid predators. |
| Structures and Functions of Daphnia | Move by flipping antennae downward, which results in a jerky motion. Eats algae and protozoa. Creates currents with its antennae to swirl organisms into their mouths. |
| Structures and Functions of Hydra | Reproduces by budding or fragmentation and regeneration. Moves by detaching itself from a surface and floating. Moves in a somersault motion. Eats Daphnia and other protozoa. Nematocyst shoots at the prey when something touches the sting trigger. |
