chlorophyll-containing, plantlike protists that produce oxygen as a result of photosynthesis
algae
diatoms, dinoflagellates, euglenoids, red algae, green algae, brown algae (kelp)
examples of algae
saclike, spore-producing structure of sac fungi; found in Sac Fungi- yeasts, molds, morels, and truffles
ascus
club-shaped, reproductive structure in which club fungi produce spores; found in Club Fungi- mushrooms
basidium
Form of asexual reproduction in which a new, genetically identical organism forms on the side of its parent (ex. yeast)
budding
in protists, short, threadlike structures that extend from the cell membrane of a ciliate and enable the organism to move quickly; Found around the organism, paramecium
Cilia
long, thin-whiplike structure that helps organisms move through moist or wet surroundings,
Flagellum
Organism that has flagella- Euglena and DinoFlagellates
Flagellum
mass of many-celled threadlike tubes, forming the body of a human
hyphae
organism made up of a fungus and a green alga or cyanobacteria
lichen
network of hyphae and plant roots that help plants absorb water and minerals from soil
mycorrhizae
one or many-celled eukaryotic organism that can be plantlike, animal-like, or fungus-like
Protist
Algae, protozoans (paramecium), slime mold, water mold, and downy mildews
Examples of protists
one-celled, animal-like protist that can live in water, soil, and living and dead organisms
protozoan
temporary cytoplasmic extensions used by some protists to move about and trap food “false food” Amoeba have them
pseudopods
organism that uses dead organisms as a food source that helps recycle nutrients, so they are available for use by other organisms Ex. Fungi such as mushrooms
Saprophyte
round spore case of zygote fungus
Sporangium
waterproof reproductive cell of a fungus that can grow into a new organism; in plants, haploid cells produced in the gametophyte stage that can divide by mitosis to form plant structures or an entire new plant or can develop into sex cells
spores
