Unit 11 - Protists, Fungi, & Plants

Front 1

Protist

Back 1

Usually single-celled organisms that live in moist environments, vary in the way they move and get energy, and belong to the Kingdom Protista

Front 2

Animal-like protist

Back 2

Protists that ingest or absorb food after capturing or trapping it

Front 3

Plant-like protist

Back 3

Protists that produce food through photosynthesis

Front 4

Fungus-like protist

Back 4

Protists that obtain their food by external digestion either as decomposers or as parasites

Front 5

Flagellum (flagella)

Back 5

A long whip-like tail used to move and/or catch food

Front 6

Cilia

Back 6

Small hair-like projections on the surface (cell membrane) of the cell used to sweep food into mouth-like structures and/or beat them in rhythm to move

Front 7

Pseudopod

Back 7

A finger-like projection of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used to catch food and/or for movement

Front 8

Euglena

Back 8

A type of protist that uses a flagellum to move

Front 9

Paramecium

Back 9

A type of protist that uses cilia to move

Front 10

Amoeba

Back 10

A type of protist that uses pseudopods to move

Front 11

Heterotroph

Back 11

An organism that cannot make its own food and has to eat or absorb food

Front 12

Autotroph

Back 12

An organism that can make its own food

Front 13

Fungi

Back 13

Usually multicellular organisms that are sessile (stuck in one place) and are heterotrophs

Front 14

Saprophytic Fungi

Back 14

Fungi that get their energy from decaying organic matter

Front 15

Parasitic Fungi

Back 15

Fungi that feed on other living organisms (host) and harm the host

Front 16

Symbiotic Fungi

Back 16

Fungi that feed on other organisms (host) but do not harm the host

Front 17

Phototropism

Back 17

The way an organism responds to light

Front 18

Gravitropism

Back 18

The way an organism responds to gravity

Front 19

Fruiting structures

Back 19

Structure used by fungi for reproduction and spore dispersal

Front 20

Hyphae

Back 20

Long fibrous strands that allow the fungus to obtain water and nutrients

Front 21

Mycelium

Back 21

A mass of hyphae

Front 22

Vascular

Back 22

Plant with tube-like structures to transport water and food

Front 23

Xylem

Back 23

Tube-like structures that carry WATER and minerals from the roots UP to the rest of the plant

Front 24

Phloem

Back 24

Tube-like structures that carry FOOD from the leaves DOWN to the rest of the plant

Front 25

Nonvascular

Back 25

Plant that has to absorb water directly into the cells because it does not have structures to transport water and food; examples are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
