cell wall
When using a dichotomous key, what guidelines should be followed? Use complete sentences and proper grammar.
Always read both of of the answers to be sure, make sure that you are clear on the answer, and double check the answer is correct.

Protists
List the 3 characteristics of an animal-like proti
can be parasitic
heterotroph
unicellular
What is the classification of an ameoba?
Fungi reproduce ____________.
asexually and sexually

Dinoflagellates
True or False
Fungi can be eukaryotic.
true
This type of fungi includes bread molds and molds that rot fruit and vegetables.
Zygote Fungi
A way of grouping organisms based on the characteristics they share is called _________.
classification
Who was the scientist who developed a unified system that placed organisms into specific groups based on descriptions?
Carolus Linnaeus
How do Eubacteria reproduce?
budding
binary fission
Protists use ___________ and ____________ to complete asexual reproduction
Binary fission and Fragmentation
slime molds are what type of protist?
Fungus- like protist
List 3 characteristics of fungus-like protists
cannot move on their own
get nutrients from absorbing them from the environment
produce spores
Are fungi heterotrophs or autotrophs?
heterotrophs
This type of fungi include yeast, powdery mildews, and birds' nest fungi. These fungi reproduce sexually and asexually
Sac Fungi
Related species would be grouped into a ___________.
genus
What kingdom has the following characteristics: eukaryotic cells, no cell wall, heterotrophs, and multicellular?
Animals
Archaebacteria may live in
environments without oxygen
extremely high and low temperatures
highly acidic/ basic environments
very salty environments
Why is it difficult to explain one certain way a protist reproduces? Please use complete sentences and proper grammar.
It is difficult because they do not all reproduce the same way. Some of them reproduce asexually or sexually or both.
Protozoans are what type of protist?
Animal-like
what is the classification of a stentor?
ciliates
Describe how Fungi reproduce sexually. Use complete sentences and proper grammar.
Two hyphae form together and make a new cell. That new cell then makes spores.
This type of fungi are named for the structures in which spores develop. In a typical mushroom, only the spore-producing part of this fungi is visible.
club fungi
