This Kingdom is divided into 2 subkingdoms.
What is Kingdom Protista?
Organisms from the genus Amoeba have these 2 types of vacuoles.
A relationship between 2 or more species where all benefit.
This general term is given to tiny organisms that float in the water.
What is Plankton?
This Phylum of algae contain chlorophyll and have cell walls made of cellulose.
What is Phylum Chlorophyta?
These are heterotrophic, single-celled Eukaryotic creatures.
What are Protozoans?
This means "false foot" and is used for locomotion and grasping food by members of the Phylum Sarcodina.
What is Pseudopod?
A relationship between 2 species where one benefits and the other neither harmed nor benefitted.
Tiny floating organisms that are either small animals or protozoa.
What is Zooplankton?
What are Diatoms?

Their genus names means "beautiful eye" in Greek and they are found in salt & fresh water and moist soil.
What is Parasitism?
Tiny floating photosynthetic organisms - primarily algae.
What are phytoplankton?
What is Dinoflagellates?
Mastigophora, Sarcodina, Ciliophora and Sporozoa are phyla from this subkingdom.
What is Protozoa?
Euglena are autotrophic AND saprophytic because they eat decaying matter and also have this in their cell.
What is Chlorophyll (or Chloroplasts)?
What is Malaria?
Algae use carbon dioxide CO2 and sunlight to make 75% of the Earth's what?
What is Oxygen?
Members of the Phylum Phaeophyta (brown algae) have cell walls that contain alginic acid which has this use in food preparation. Think chocolate milk.
What is a thickener?
Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta are all phyla from this subkingdom.
What is Algae?
Paramecium belongs to the phylum Ciliophora because they have these on the outside of their cell.
What are cilia?
Organisms from Phylum Sporozoa form these at some point in their life cycle.
What are spores?
