Protists & Fungi
37
pfiesteria : Kind of algae that is responsible for the red tides
sporozoans : Another, common name for Apicomplexans; parasitic protozoans that have no means of motility and must depend upon their host for transport to a new source of nutrients
chlorophyta : Green algae
diatoms : Some algae that are found in toothpaste (in the form of the shells of the dead organisms) are...
motility : This terms refers to the protozoans' ability to move on their own
food : In lichens algae make this for the fungi and the fungi trap and hold water for the algae
decompose : Some fungi (such as saprobes) are recyclers because they do this to dead plant and animal matter
move : The protozoans are classified on how they do this
dinoflagellates : Another term that refers to the kind of algae that is responsible for the red tides
ciliates : Paramecium, stentors, and vorticella are all this
mycelium : A mat of interwoven hyphae to allow a larger surface area to come in contact with a food source; the tangled mass that makes up the body of a fungus
multicellular : Except for yeast, which is unicellular, all fungi are this
zygomycota : Dark fuzz that grows on bread is an example of this type of fungi
sexually : How most fungi reproduce with spores
asexually : Fungi reproduce this way by fragmentation or budding
flagellates : Illness-causing protozoans Trypanosomes, Trichomonas and Giardia are examples of this
fungi : This Kingdom contains molds, mildews, rusts, smuts, yeasts, and mushrooms
kelp : The largest of the brown algae
ascomycota : Phylum of fungi also commonly known as the sac fungi
plants : Because they have cell walls and root-like structures, fungi resemble these
budding : Fungi reproduce asexually by fragmentation or this
sarcodines : Protists known for their amoeboid movement
heterotrophs : What fungi are since they cannot produce their own food as plants do
autotrophs : Unlike fungi, plants can produce their own food. Plants are this.
chloroplasts : Unlike plants, all fungi are heterotrophic; they do NOT have these
symbiotic : Some fungi form this (mutually beneficial) relationship with other organisms such as trees and flowering plants
mastigophorans : Phylum where flagellate protozoans can be found
club : Basidiomycota are also referred to as this kind of fungi
basidiomycota : Mushrooms are classified in this group of fungi
deuteromycota : Penicillium, ringworm, and athlete's foot belong to this phylum of "imperfect" fungi
euglena : Protist that has features of both plant and animal
seaweeds : Red Algae: live deep in the water, can harvest light energy very well, contains chlorophyll A and phycobilins; commonly referred to as this
chitin : The cell walls of fungi are made of this complex carbohydrate
eat : Fungi do this by secreting enzymes, digesting food externally then absorbing nutrients
basidiocarp : Underground hyphae intertwine and grow upward to produce this reproductive structure that we call a mushroom
sporangium : In some fungi, spores are produced in this structure
color : Algae are classified by this
plasmodium : Protozoan that causes malaria
zooflagellates : Flagellates can be animal-like, plant-like or fungus-like; "zoo" means animal, so animal-like flagellates are called this
parasites : What some fungi are because they feed on living things, usually doing some degree of harm (using enzymes to break down tissues, then absorb the nutrients)
yeast : What the unicellular fungi are known as
molds : Slime and water _____ are fungus-like protists that can cause disease in crops and animals
pseudopods : Extensions of cytoplasm which an amoeba uses for movement
saprobes : Fungi that absorb food from decaying organic matter
lichens : A combination of two organisms that is made up of a fungus and either and algae or a photosynthetic bacteria (cyanobacteria) in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship
penicillin : A famous group of antibiotics derived from Penicillium fungi.
cilia : The short hair like filaments that cover a paramecium and other ciliates
imperfect : Deuteromycota are often referred to as thsi type of fungi because their sexual form of reproduction has never been observed
hyphae : Are basic structural threadlike filaments of fungi
