| contractile vacuole | A specialized vacuole of eukaryote cells, especially protozoa, involved in osmoregulation, i.e. it allows the flow of water from the cytoplasm and then discharges this externally by the opening of a permanent narrow neck |
| pipgent | a coloring matter in animals and plants especially in a cell or tissue |
| protozoan | any of a phylum or subkingdom (Protozoa) of chiefly motile and heterotrophic unicellular protists |

| pseudopod | a temporary protrusion of the protoplasm, as of certain protozoans, usually serving as an organ of locomotion or prehension. |
| cillia | minute hairlike organelles, identical in structure to flagella, that line the surfaces of certain cells and beat in rhythmic waves, providing locomotion to ciliate protozoans and moving liquids along internal epithelial tissue in animals. |
| algae | any of numerous groups of chlorophyll-containing, mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms ranging from microscopic single-celled forms to multicellular forms |
| amoeba | protozoans with pseudopods |
| paramecium | protozoans with cilia |
| plasmodium | protozoans that are parasites |
| giardia | protozoans with flagellum |
| euglenoids | green unicellular algae can be both heterotrophic and autotrophic |
| dinoflagellates | unicellular algae has hard outer shell glows in dark can be many colors |
| diatoms | unicellular protist they move by oozing out chemical from their shell over time they produce a layer of coarse substance called diatomaceous earth |
| red algae | most are multicellular sea weeds carrageenan and agar are extracted from the red algae used in product such as ice cream and conditioner |
| brown algae | brown algae is generally called brown algae the share many features with plants |
