This single-celled organism does not have organelles.
What is bacteria?
These plant-like protists are mostly single-celled.
What are algae?
This structure allows a protist to remove water that is not needed, preventing osmosis from bursting the cell.
What is a contractile vacuole?
Hyphae are thin, tube-like threads produced by a fungus. A mass of hyphae is referred to as this.
What is a mycelium?
An organism that is made up of a fungus and an alga or a bacterium.
What is a lichen?
Most disease-causing bacteria harm the body by producing these.
What are toxins?
These single-celled algae have hard shells containing silica.
What are diatoms?
This term refers to the opening through which a paramecium takes in food.
What is a gullet?
Club fungi have these on the underside of their caps, used for releasing millions of spores into the air.
What are gills?
A type of mutualism between a fungus and the roots of a plant.
What is mychorrhiza
This gas is produced by bacteria from hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
What is methane?
Algae, such as kelp, are similar to plants in that they can use sunlight to do this.
What is make their own food?

What is an eyespot?
These fungi live as parasites on plants, often cereal plants such as wheat, corn, barley, and rye.
What are rusts and smuts?
Yeasts reproduce asexually when a yeast cell pinches off to make a smaller cell in a process called this.
What is budding?
Bacteria produce using this method.
What is binary fission?
This term refers to a long, whiplike structure that allows organisms like the single-celled alga Euglena gracilis to move.
What is flagellum?
Water moving through a cell membrane is referred to as this term.
What is osmosis?
These chemicals are produced by molds that grow on stored crops, and can cause liver cancer.
What are aflatoxins?
In a lichen, this organism provides shelter and moisture to certain bacteria or algae.
What is a fungi?
An organism that decomposes dead organisms or waste matter is known as this.
This animal-like protists (or protozoans) us these short, hair-like structures to move.
What are cilia?
This term describes to process by which single-celled organisms reproduce by dividing into two cells that look the same as the original.
What is asexual reproduction?
This drug is produced from mold and helps prevent the rejection of transplanted organs.
What is cyclosporine?
This chemical allows a fungus to break food down.
What is a digestive enzyme?
