awesome
mostly one celled organisms that live in wet environments
protist
a multi-cellular algae that is found in many Japanese, Chinese, and Korean diets
seaweed
some protozoans have these threadlike tails for movement
flagella
some protists are this, meaning they are made up of more than one cell
multi-cellular
Plantlike protists contain these as part of their cell structure, but animal like protists do not.
chloroplast
multi-cellular seawater aglae that can be many meters long and is made up of millions of cells.
kelp
most protists have this type of cell structure
single-celled
a term for a protist that gets its energy by feeding on other organisms.
consumer
This protozoan moves using pseudopods and captures its food by completely surrounding it with its false feet.
amoeba
many protists reproduce this way (parent cell divides to form 2 new daughter cells)
fission
a term for a protist that gets its energy by producing its own food
producer
this is common freshwater alga that does NOT live in colonies
spirogyra
a type of protist that has traits like those of animals is called
Protozoan
protists have 3 main forms of this....cilia, flagella, and psuedopods
locomotion
This is a common freshwater alga that does live in colonies
volvox
seaweed is a type of this
algae
amoebas move using these false feet
pseudopods
this is a type of freshwater alga that contains one large chloroplast
chlorella
these are the most plentiful of algae and are found in both fresh water and sea water.
diatoms
these protozoans do not move on their own and live in or on another organism
parasite
This is a seaweed that can cover miles of ocean surface
Saragassum
this includes all the tiny organisms that float freely near the surface of the ocean.
plankton
paramecium have these hairlike structures to propel them forward
cilia
this is a plantlike protist that can move on its own using flagella, has a light sensitive eye-spot, and can feed on other organisms when there is not enough light to produce its own food
Euglena
plantlike protists contain this green chemical which helps them capture energy from the sun
chlorophyll
