Raczkowski- Protist
Raczkowski- Protist and Fungi
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Protist | belong to the kingdom Protista |
Protist | are eukaryotic (have nucleus) |
Protist | many single-celled, but some multicellular, both producers and consumers |
Protist | classified by the way they obtain energy |
Funguslike Protists | protist that obtains its food from dead organic matter or from the body of another organism |
Funguslike Protists | Consumers that secrete digestive juices into the food source and then absorb the digested nutrients |
Funguslike Protists | Examples- slime molds and water mold |
Parasites | invade the body of another organism to obtain the nuitrients they need |
Host | Organism a parasite invades |
Algae | a type of plantlike protist, single-celled or multi-cellular (phytoplankton) |
Algae | producer- uses sun’s energy to make food through photosynthesis |
Algae | Example- seaweed or kelp |
Phytoplankton | Producers that provide food for most other water-dwelling organisms |
Phytoplankton | Produce most of the world’s oxygen |
Phytoplankton | Single-celled, cannot be seen without a microscope |
Phytoplankton | Types- red algae, brown algae, green algae, diatoms, dinoflagellates, euglenoids |
Protozoa | animal protists that are single-celled consumers |
Protozoa | some are parasites and some move |
Protozoa | Types- amoeba-like protists, flagellates, ciliates, and spore- forming protists |
Fungus | eukaryotic consumers that come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors |
Fungus | some are decomposers, but most are consumers who most obtain nutrients by secreting digestive juices onto a food source, then absorbing the dissolved substances. |
Fungus | Some are single-celled but most are multicellular |
Mold | shapeless fuzzy fungi that can reproduce asexually |
Hyphae | fungal filaments that are similar to plant roots |
Hyphae | Cells having openings in their cell walls that allow cytoplasm to move freely between the cells |
Mycelium | hyphae that have grown together to form a twisted mass |
Spores | - small reproductive cells protected by a thick cell wall |
Spores | a way in which asexual reproduction occurs |
Spores | light and easily spread by the wind |
Lichen | a combination of a fungus and an alga that grows intertwined |
Lichen | Producers that produce food through photosynthesis |
Lichen | Need only air, light and minerals to grow |
Autotroph | any organism capable of producing its own food by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria and protists |
Heterotroph | An organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances, usually plant or animal matter |
