| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Zoomastigina | Animal-like (zoo= animal). Move by flagella. Example: tripanisoma (African Sleeping Sickness) |
| Ciliaphora | Animal-like. Move by cilia. Contractule vacuole to keep from bursting with water. Example: paramecium |
| Sporozoa | Animal-like. Cannot move on their own, spread through spores. Parasitic. Plasmodium (malaria) |
| Sarcodina | Pseudopods (false feet, used for movement). Example: amoeba. |
| Oomycota | Fungus-like. Water molds. |
| Acrasiomycota | Funguslike. Cellular slime molds. Looks like frog eggs (large mass of cells with defined boundaries) |
| Myxomycota | Fungus-like. Acellular slime molds. Blob of cellular material with lots of nuclei |
| Phaeophyta | Plant-like, multicellular. Brown algae. Largest of all protists (kelp) |
| Rhodophyta | Plant-like, multicellular. Red algaa (ranges from bright red to very dark purple). |
| Chlorophyta | Plant-like, multicellular. Green algae. Ancestors to modern land plants. Examples: seaweed, spyrogyra |
| Bacillariophyta | Plant-like, unicellular. Diatoms. Cell walls of silica (like glass). Called frustules. |
| Euglenophyta | Plant-like, unicellular. Have flagella and eyespots. Photosynthesize using eyespots. |
| Pyrophyta | Plant-like, unicellular. "Dynoflagellates". Luminescent. Base of marine food web. Cause Red Tide |
| Chrysophyta | Plant-like, unicellular. Golden-brown algae (probably not on practical) |
