| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cillum: | Short hairlike projection that produces movement in protists. |
| Flagellum: | Structure used by protists for movement; it produces movement in a wavelike motion. |
| Protists: | The Junk Drawer= most diverse kingdom. Eukaryotes: mostly unicellular but some multicellular (sea Kelp) live in a moist environment. Fungus plants and animals got rise from protista. Do not need a cell wall. |
| Chitin: | A complex carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of fungi and is also found in the external skeletons of anthropods |
| Hyphae: | One of the long, slender filaments which makes up the body of a fungus. |
| Mycelium: | Densely branched network of the hyphae of a fungus |
| Lichen | A symbiotic association between a fungus and a photsynthetic organism. |
| Epidemic: | A widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time. |
| Pandemic: | A widespread occurrence of an infectious disease over a whole country or the world at a particular time. |
| Fungi | Help the ecosystem maintain homeostasis by breaking down dead orgainisms and recycling essential elemants and nutriemts. Produce powerful enzymes that digest food outside their bodies. |
| Parasite: | Parasitic fungi can cause serious disease in plants and animals by disrupting homeostasis. |
| Decompser: | an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material. |
| Pseupods | (false feet) found in amoeba (gather food+ move) |
| Symbiotic relationship (Mutualism) | A protist in termite to help it digest wood. |
| Protozoans | Animal like protists. -Ushually heterotrophs -Ushually reproduce asexualy -Ex. Amoeba (move by psuesopods). Paramecium |
| Algae | Plalnt like protists. -Autotrophs: carry out photosynthesis, contain chloryphyll -many colors depending on pigment -Not plant, no roots, stems, leaves. |
| Fungus like protists | Heterotrophic: decompose organic material -cause damage to crops. -Ex). Slime, Mold, Downy, Mildews). -Slime molds help to build roads, |
