Misfits
The Kingdom Protista is one of the four kingdoms in the domain of _____________________
Eukarya
Animal-like protists are heterotrophs that can move and have cells that lack this.
Cell Walls
The primary producers for freshwater ecosystems
Green algae
I am an organism that cannot make its own food
Heterotroph
An organism that eats dead or decaying materials
Saprophyte
Why have scientists not studied the kingdom of protists as extensively as other kingdoms?
They are not major food sources or causes of human diseases
Which of the following is not an animal-like protist?
diatom amoeba zooflagellate
diatom
The algae that can live in water deeper than other algae because of its color
Red Algae
I am a thin whiplike structure that helps an organism move through liquids
Flagellum
Some fungus-like protists form these threadlike body structures.
Filaments
Protists produce this through photosynthesis.
Oxygen
Do amoebas and ciliates both reproduce through binary fission?
Yes
The algae that can form swarmer cells and act as heterotrophs
Golden Algae
I am a protist that is heterotrophic and uses spores to reproduce.
Fungus-like Protist
Fungus-like protists that look like slimy blobs
Slime Mold
True or False? Protists are only found in saltwater.
False. Protists can be found in saltwater, freshwater, the watery tissue of other living things, and in soil.
How many nuclei do ciliates have?
Two
Brown algae do not possess these structures
Filaments
I am a heterotrophic protist that cannot move on its own.
Sporozoan
Slime molds reproduce through the use of spores. The spores are produced in a receptacle called a ________________.
Sporangium
What main characteristic determines whether a protist is considered plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like?
How the organism feeds
A disease of the intestines that results in severe diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Dysentery
This algae helps to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the air
Green algae
I am a protist with one to eight flagella.
Zooflagellates
Name the three different methods slime mold feeds.
Absorb decaying vegetation.
Eat bacteria
Absorb dissolved food particles
