|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acellular slime mold | mold that forms into a plasmodium
🗑
|
||||
| Algae | often unicellular--can grow in large groups--kelps and seaweeds--major part of phytoplankton--most are motile due to flagella--cell walls composed of cellulose
🗑
|
||||
| Amoebas | protazoans--pseudopodia--move by crawling--
🗑
|
||||
| ATP | (adenosine triphosphate)--the cells energy storage chemical
🗑
|
||||
| Cellular slime mold | mold which grows as a group of individual cells
🗑
|
||||
| Chlorophyll | found in algea--uses energy from the sun to convert carbod dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen--captures photons of light and transfers energy to mitochondria that produce ATP
🗑
|
||||
| Chloroplasts | organelles that contain chlorophyll--
🗑
|
||||
| Ciliates | protazoans with cilia--cilia beat coordinately--cilia near the oral cvity propel food to the oral opening
🗑
|
||||
| Cyst | protazoans that are resting/dormant--more resistant to drying, low temps, or scarcity of food--reminiscent of bacterial endospores--not heat stable & do not survive for weeks/months
🗑
|
||||
| Diatoms | algae that produce a silicon structural matrix that settles to the bottom of the ocean when the organisms die--skeletons are tiny porous rocks
🗑
|
||||
| Flagellates | (flagella)--motility appendages of protozoans--use their organelles of motility for locomotion and food gathering--
🗑
|
||||
| Photosynthesis | when energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates
🗑
|
||||
| Phytoplankton | (phyto--plant--plankton--drifting)--algae are a major part of this--free-floating masses found in the worl's saline waters--produce more oxygen than all Earth's forests--form the basis for marine food chain
🗑
|
||||
| Plasmodium | a collection of cells that are fused together--each one grows larger as the nuclei divide
🗑
|
||||
| Protists | include a broad grouping of eukaryotes other than plants, animals, and fungi--includes algae, protozoa, and slime molds--all protist cells exhibit same functions--rigid cell walls made of polysaccharides or rock salts--
🗑
|
||||
| Protozoans | unicellular protists that lack photosynthetic ability--identified microscopically by locomotion apparatus, general shape/size, # of nuclei, & presence of cyst forms--most in water--abundant in soil and in/on animals and plants
🗑
|
||||
| Slime mold | not considered fungi--produce spors and grow in fungi habitats--several have flagella/pseudopodia--fungi are nonmotile--reclassified as protists--molds form fruiting bodies/collections of cell material that rise above area of growth & form spores
🗑
|
||||
| Sporozoites | protozoans with no motility appendages--do not make spores--produce and infectious form called sporozoites--
🗑
|
||||
| Trophozoite | vegetative/growing form of protozoan--
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
