| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the plant-like protists that perform photosynthesis | algae |
| a freshwater protozoan that uses pseudopods for locomotion and feeds by surrounding and engulfing its food | amoeba |
| exchange of DNA between protists | conjugation |
| long whiplike, structure that propels certain protists in movement | flagella |
| Give examples of three protists that can cause sickness | plasmodium, amoeba, Trypanosoma |
| Give 3 examples of algae | dinoflagellates, diatoms, coccolithophores |
| organisms that are not animals, plants, bacteria or fungi. | Protists |
| a human disease caused by the Plasmodium carried by mosquitoes | malaria |
| name three ways protists move | cilia, pseudopods, flagella |
| Name several diseases caused by protists | Malaria, amoebic dysentery, Africian sleeping sickness |
| major component of plankton in the ocean | protists |
| Bulges of cytoplasm used by amoeba for movement | pseudopods |
| an overpopulation of dinoflagellates that kills fish and contaminates shellfish | red tide |
| Two primary roles of protists in the ocean | produce oxygen and provide food for animals |
| pinched off membrane inside a protist containing food | food vacuole? |
| indentation in paramecium where food is taken in | oral groove |
| structures that help paramecium move | CILIA |
| name means "false foot" | PSEUDOPOD |
| can be caused by amoebas in drinking water | DYSENTERY |
| protist that is shaped like a shoe and uses cilia to move | PARAMECIUM |
| the name of the protist that causes malaria | PLASMODIUM |
| disease carried by mosquitoes | MALARIA |
| group of protists that contains Paramecium | ciliates |
| group of animal-like protists capable of using an oozing type of movement | amoeboid protists |
| Common term for plantlike protists | algae |
| Group of protists which are usually parasites of insects | microsporidians |
| group of protists that absorb their food from dead organic matter | fungus-like protists |
| fungus-like protists which causes late season potato blight | water mold, Phytophthora |
| protists that can exist as small individual cells, a large mass of individual cells or many cells fused together as one cell | slime molds |
| Examples of fungus-like protists | Phytophthora, Stemonitis, Fuligo |
| Two differences between cilia and flagella | cilia are shorter and more numerous than flagella |
| Paramecium's means of eating | Oral groove |
| Amoebas means of eating | surrounding and engulfing |
| structures where food is stored and digested | food vacuoles |
| Any organisms that perform photosynthesis | producers |
| hard remains of what protists are an important source of minerals | diatoms |
| Disease caused by Trypanosoma | African Sleeping Sickness |
| Disease caused by Amoeba | Amoebic dysentery |
| protists that cause red tide | dinoflagellates |
| How can red tide be a problem for humans? | It kills fish and makes shellfish unsafe to eat |
| Why is the wide range of behaviors of protists so amazing? | They have no brain or nervous tissue |
| The group of protists that are difficult to classify because they are green, can move with flagella, and consume food | euglenoids |
| Protists primary means of reproduction | asexual by mitosis |
