What is a protist?

Includes Protozoa and Algae, which are EUKARYOTIC.

100
What are Fungi?
Fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs that have ridged cell walls and no chlorophyll.
100

What are algae?

Eukaryotic, autotrophs with cell walls (with cellulose). Unicellular or Multicellular.

100

What is an algal bloom?

Algae grow excessively in water

100

What is a hypha?

This is how a filament of cells is called in fungus

200

What are the three types of protists?

Fungi-like (moulds), Plant-like (ALGAE), and Animal-like protists (PROTOZOA).

200

How do Fungi consume food?

They can be saprophytic, parasitic, or symbiotic. 

200

What structures are in a plant cell?

Chloroplasts, vacuole, cell membrane, cell wall, and nucleus.

200

What is lichen?

It is a combination of fungus and algae.

200

What is mycellium?

A cluster of hyphae

300

What are the two types of reproduction in protists and what are they called?

Asexual Reproduction (Binary fission) and Sexual Reproduction (Sporulation)

300

What are the three types of fungi?

unicellular, mushroom-forming fungus and mold

300

What are the two types of algae?

MicroAlgae and MacroAlgae

300

What protist produce antibiotics?

Fungi like Penicillium sp.

300

Why algae are not plants?

They don´t have organs like plants (roots, stems or true leaves) and some of them can be motile.

400

Name three examples of protists

Protozoa: Paramecium, Amoeba, Flagellate, and Sporozoan.

Algae: Diatom, Dino-flagellate

Molds: Slime molds, Water Molds, 

400

Give an example of harmful fungi.

Parasitic like Athlete´s foot fungi.

400

What are macroalgae?

They are multicellular and they are: green, red and brown.

400

Why algal bloom can be harmful?

It can damage the environment by depleting oxygen in the water, which can kill fish and other living creatures.

400

Algae can reproduce sexually and asexually

TRUE

500

Where do Protists usually live?

Moist and aquatic environments.

500

Give an example of helpful fungi.

Yeast produces bread or beer.

Mushrooms-forming fungi recycle nutrients in the forest.

Some moulds can produce antibiotics. 

500

How algae can reproduce?

By sexual and asexual reproduction (binary fission)

500

What is a helpful algae?

They provide oxygen and shelter for other living beings.

500

How saprophytic fungi feed?

They release chemical substances that digest food and then absorb them.
