Chapter 3 Protists And Fungi

Front 1

Protist

Back 1

A eukaryotic organism that cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus

Front 2

Protozoan

Back 2

An animal-like protist

Front 3

Pseudopod

Back 3

A “false foot” or temporary bulge of cytoplasm used for feeding and movement in some protozoans

Front 4

Contractile Vacuole

Back 4

The cell structure that collects extra water from the cytoplasm and then expels it from the cell

Front 5

Cilia

Back 5

The hairlike projections on the outside of cells that move in a wavelike manner

Front 6

Symbiosis

Back 6

The hairlike projections on the outside of cells that move in a wavelike manner

Front 7

Mutualism

Back 7

A type of symbiosis in which both partners benefit from living together

Front 8

Algae

Back 8

Plantlike Protists

Front 9

Pigment

Back 9

A chemical that produces color

Front 10

Spore

Back 10

A tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism

Front 11

Algal Bloom

Back 11

The rapid growth of a population of algae

Front 12

Red Tide

Back 12

An algal bloom that occurs in salt water

Front 13

Eutrophication

Back 13

The buildup over time of nutrients in freshwater lakes and ponds that leads to an increase in the growth of algae

Front 14

Fungi

Back 14

A eukaryotic organism that has cell wells, use spores to reproduce, and is a heterotroph that feeds by absorbing its food

Front 15

Hyphae

Back 15

The branching, threadlike tubes that make up the bodies of multicellular fungi

Front 16

Fruiting Bodies

Back 16

The reproductive structure of a fungus that contains many hyphae and produces spores

Front 17

Budding

Back 17

A form of asexual reproduction of yeast in which a new cell grows out of the body of a parent

Front 18

Lichen

Back 18

The combination of a fungus and either an alga or an autotrophic bacterium that live together in a mutualistic relationship
