T3 Protists & Fungi Quiz

A pond has turned green, and upon viewing a sample of water under the microscope you see unicellular green algae with flagella. How is this algae able to survive in the pond?

• They have chloroplasts and chlorophyll to perform photosynthesis to make glucose.

• They are able to engulf food particles by endocytosis.

• They gather chemicals from their environment to perform chemosynthesis making glucose.

Match the following structure with its function in the protozoan called Paramecium caudatum.

• contractile vacuole

• joins with lysosomes to digest food particles

• food vacuole

• releases waste

• cilia

• movement and gathering food into oral groove

• anal pore

• Controlling water content so the cell won't burst

This is Amoeba proteus. What are the extensions of the cytoplasm called and what are they used for?

• cilia; movement

• pseudopods; movement

• cilia; feeding by pulling food into the oral groove

• pseudopods; feeding by endocytosis

What is happening in this video?

• An amoeba is eating by endocytosis, which is a form of active transport

• An amoeba is eating by endocytosis, which is a form of facilitated diffusion

• An amoeba is using its cilia to sweep food into its oral groove, which is a form of active transport.

• And amoeba is using its cilia to sweep food into its oral groove, which is a form of facilitated diffusion

Unicellular plant-like protists are called ​ (a)   and some eventually evolved into what are now modern day ​ ​ (b)   .

• algae
• protozoans
• seaweeds
• plants
• animals
• fungi

Protozoans are

• animal-like protists

• plant-like protists

• fungus-like protists

Protozoans cannot be classified as animals because

• protozoans aren't heterotrophs but animals are.

• protozoans don't have a nervous system but animals do.

• protozoans are unicellular but animals multicellular.

• Protozoans do photosynthesis while animals don't.

Which of the following is beneficial characteristic of photosynthetic protists such as algae and seaweeds?

• They are used to clean up pollutants

• They serve as the base of aquatic food chains

• They can be used to develop antibiotics

• They eat harmful organisms

Under which conditions would a fungus such as mold or mildew thrive?

• Warm and dry

• Cold and dry

• Warm and moist

• Cold and moist

Match the following structures of a fungus to the letters in the diagram.

• C

• mycelium

• A

• reproductive structure

• B

• hyphae
