| Which substances allow algae to harvest and use the energy from sunlight | chlorophyll and accessory pigments |
| A protist is any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungus, or a | eukaryote |
| Multicellular protists are grouped with unicellular protists because mulitcellular protists | are very similar to unicellular protists |
| According to Lynn Margulis, a eukaryotic cells may have evolved from | a symbiosis of several cells |
| To which phylum do amoebas, foraminiferans, and heliozoans belong? | sporozoans |
| Zooflagellates may live in lakes and streams, where they. | absorb food through their cell membrane |
| Which structure of a paramecium is analogous to a "reserve copy" of all the cells genes? | the micronucleus |
| The Sporozoan Plasmodium causes the disease known as | malaria |
| Which of the following diseases does the animal like protist known as Entamoeba cause | amebic dysentery |
| As sunlight passes through sea water, the sea water | absorbs large amounts of red and violet wavelengths |

| When amoebalike cells of acellulaar slime molds fuse, they form structures with many nuclei called | plasmodia |
| In oomycetes, sexual reproduction takes place in the | antheridium and oogonium |
