Characteristics
What is the protist cell type
Eukaryotic cells
What are the 2 ways protists reproduce
Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction
These are the two parts of a scientific name
Genus and Species
This phylum moves using pseudopodia and has no fixed shape
Amoebozoa
This scientific tool allowed scientists to discover protists
Microscopy
Where do most protists live
Aquatic areas
ex. pond, ocean, lakes
What is the most common way Protist reproduce
Asexual Reproduction
How can you shorten the name Amoeba proteus
A. proteus
These protists are covered in cilia used for movement and feeding
Ciliophora
This scientist proposed a new kingdom to include organisms like protists in 1860
John Hogg
Which type of Protist has cell walls
Fungi-like protists and most plant-like protists
what types of Sexual Reproduction are there
Gamete fusion
Conjugation
What do protists help scientists study
Diseases, Evolution, Relationships
This phylum contains red pigments that allow organisms to live in deeper ocean water
Rhodophyta
This kingdom was created to include microorganisms that were not plants or animals
Protista
Which membrane-bound organelles (that provide energy) do most protists contain
Mitochondria
Which reproductive method increases genetic variation
Sexual Reproduction
This naming system gives every organism a two-part name.
Binomial nomenclature
This group of protists contains chlorophyll and can be unicellular or multicellular.
Chlorophyta
In the late 1930s, this scientist proposed separating bacteria from protists
Herbert F. Copeland
Are Protist Autotrophs or Heterotrophs
They are both based on their environment, also known as Mixotrophs
: Autotrophs, Heterotrophs
What types of Asexual Reproduction are there
Binary fission
Multiple fission
Budding or fragmentation
Give 2 examples of Protists and it's short form name
Amoeba proteus (A. proteus)
Paramecium caudatum (P. caudatum)
Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis)
Plasmodium falciparum( P. falciparum)
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii)
This phylum includes protists that can both photosynthesize and consume food.
Euglenophyta
Protists were separated from bacteria because they have this visible cell feature.
