Protist Movement
This is an extension of cytoplasm in amoeba used for movement and capturing prey.
What is a pseudopod?
The process that allows plant-like protists to create their own food from energy from the sun.
What is photosynthesis?
Mosses are these types of plants.
What is nonvascular?
Fungi are classified by how they do this.
What is obtain energy?
An organism that is heterotrophic and multicellular would belong to what kingdom?
What is the animal kingdom?
Short, hair-like structures that help some animal-like protists such as the paramecium move.
What are cilia?
The majority of protists have this number of cells.
What is one, or single-celled?
This is what transports water from the roots of a vascular plant to the rest of the plant.
What is the xylem?
The typical fungus has these long, threadlike filaments instead of roots.
What are hyphae?
In the scientific name, Panthera Tigris, Panthera comes from this classification level.
What is genus?
Some protists such as those in genus Giardia use these long, whip-like structures for movement.
What are flagella?
Protists who are fungus-like obtain energy by doing this.
What is decomposing, or feeding off of other living organisms?
These three things make up the female part of a flower (hint: S,S,O).
What are the stigma, style, and ovary?
Fungi who feed off a host but do not harm the host are considered this.
What is symbiotic?
This is another word for classifying living things.
What is taxonomy?
Protists who must capture their food using structures like cilia, flagella, or psuedopods.
What is heterotrophic?
This protist uses cilia to move.
What is a paramecium?
These are two products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
Fungi are sometimes called this, meaning they obtain energy by feeding off of a host organism and the host organism is harmed by the fungi.
What is parasitic?
When classifying a living thing, what is the most specific level of classification?
Species
These are homes for protists because of their specialized structures for movement.
What are moist areas such as ponds?
This protist uses a flagella to move.
What is a euglena?
This stage in the water cycle evaporates excess water from plants.
What is transpiration?
Fungi are sometimes called this, meaning they obtain energy by feeding off dead or decaying matter.
What is saphrophytic?
Two organisms in the same family would also have these classification levels in common.
What are kingdom, phylum, class, and order?
