Back 3

Glycolysis
Cellular respiration

Front 4

True or false: Protists lack the biochemical diversity of prokaryotes but contain drastic heterophotogenic diversity?

Back 4

False: morphological diversity

Front 5

What kind of environment are protists usually found in?

Back 5

Moist

Front 6

How are Protists classified?

Back 6

Algae and dinoflagellates

Front 7

What can cause "red tides"

Back 7

Algae

Front 8

What are chrysophytes and where are they located?

Back 8

Golden algae and diatoms
Ponds and temperate lakes as plankton

Front 9

Name four aspects of euglenophytes:

Back 9

1. contain an "eye spot"
2. in the dark, they live as heterotrophs
3. when light is available they photosynthesize
4. all reproduce asexually

Front 10

Name an aspect of Phaeophytes

Back 10

Brown algae are multicellular and include the Giant Kelps

Front 11

Name two aspects of Rhodophytes

Back 11

1. the phaeophytes and the rhodophytes make up most of the seaweeds
2. all reproduce sexually

Front 12

Name two aspects of chlorophytes:

Back 12

1. more like plants than any other protists
2. thought to be the land plant's evolutionary precursor

Front 13

True or false: Protozoa are heterotrophic?

Back 13

True

Front 14

Name two aspects of the rhizopoda (ameboa)

Back 14

1. all reproduce via simple cell division
2. all ameboa change shape by pseudopodia

Front 15

Name three aspects of sporozoans:

Back 15

1. all are parasites
2. very complex life cycles, involving multiple hosts
3. PLASMODIA causes malaria

Front 16

Name two aspects of ciliophora:

Back 16

1. includs about 8,000 species of free-living single celled heterotrophs that live in fresh and salt water
2. best known as paramecium

Front 17

Paramecium are better known as what?

Back 17

Ciliophora

Front 18

Name two aspects of fungus-like protists

Back 18

1. they flourish as ameoba
2. when food is scarce, they form a multicellular structure that can migrate to food and light

Front 19

What is plasmodial slime mold?

Back 19

It develops as a plasmodium (mass of cytoplasm) and is similar to cellular slime mold

Front 20

True or false: in dikaryotic fungi the nuclei lie in a common cytoplasm

Back 20

False: coenocytic

Front 21

Name several aspects of oomycota

Back 21

1. most nearly resembles true fungi
2. are either parasitic or saprophytic

Front 22

What are most fungi composed of?

Back 22

Masses of thread like filaments

Front 23

What are these thread-like filaments called?

Back 23

Hyphae

Front 24

True or false: Hyphae contain only one nuclei each

Back 24

False: they contain many nuclei

Front 25

True or false: In coenocytic walls called septa separate the 2 nuclei within each filament?

Back 25

False

Front 26

Define myceluim

Back 26

The mass that hyphae grow, branch and intertwine

Front 27

How do fungi obtain food?

Back 27

By infiltrating the bodies of organisms (or debris) with long, thin hyphae

Front 28

How do fungi reproduce?

Back 28

Both asexually and sexually

Front 29

Name two aspects of zygomycetes

Back 29

1. The hyphae are coenocytic
2. include bread molds

Front 30

What are protists?

Back 30

Eukaryotic organisms that do not belong to any of the other eukaryotic kingdoms

Front 31

Protists include:

Back 31

Algae
Protozoans
Some fungus-like forms
