What is amoeboid movement?
When cytoplasm streams into psedopods of ciliate providing the impetus for movement.

What is the host that carries malaria?
The female Anapheles mosquito
100
Into what three categories are protists divided based on their method of obtaining nutrients?
Animal-like protists Plant-like protists Fungus-like protists
100
Which sporozoa causes malaria?
Plasmodium.
100
Based on their method of obtaining nutrients, which protists are heterotrophs?
Animal-like protists
200
What are heterotrophs?
Organisms that cannot synthesize their own food and are dependent on complex organic substances for nutrition.
200
Based on their method of movement, which protozoans move by means of cilia?
Ciliates
200
What method do zooflagellates use for taking in food?
They absorb food through their cell membranes
200
How do sarcodines reproduce?
They reproduce by means of binary fission
200
Based on their method of obtaining nutrients, which protists are photosynthesizers?
Plant-like protists
300
What is a food vacuole?
A small cavity in the cytoplasm that temporarily stores food.
300
Based on their method of movement, which protozoans swim with flagella?
Zooflagellates
300
What method do ciliates use for taking in food?
They have an indention in one side that traps food particles called a gullet.
300
How do sporozoa reproduce?
They reproduce sexually in one host and then asexually in a second host.
300
Based on their method of obtaining nutrients, which protists are parasites or decomposers?
Fungus-like protists
400
What are pseudopods?
"False feet", or temporary projections of the cell body, used for movement and trapping food in ciliates.
400
Based on their method of movement, which protozoans do not move on their own?
Sporozoans
400
What method do sarcodines use for taking in food?
They surround their meal and take it inside to form a food vacuole
400
How do zooflagellates reproduce?
Most reproduce asexually by means of binary fission, although some have a sexual life cycle
400
What is another name for protozoans?
Animal-like protists
500
Protista are defined more by what they are not than what they are; an organism that is a protist cannot be what?
A plant, an animal, a fungus, or a prokaryote
500
Based on their method of movement, which protozoans move by extensions of cytoplasm?
Sarcodines
500
What method do sporozoans use for taking in food?
They have special organelles that allow them to invade a host cell from which they obtain their nutrients.
500
How do ciliates reproduce?
Under most conditions, ciliates reproduce asexually by mitosis and binary fission. However, when placed under stress, cilia may engage in conjugation.
500
Into what four phyla are protozoans divided based on their method of movement?
Zooflagellates Sarcodines Ciliates Sporozoans
