why did scientist create the kingdom Protista for classifying protists?
they did not fit the definition of other kingdoms.
Because they felt like it.
Unicellular protest carry out all life functions inside one cell.
because they had to make some sort of exception for a Protista
What is the difference between cellular and a cellular slime molds? (select the two correct options)
cellular: have individual distinct cells
cellular: spend part of lifestyle with cells fused together
acellular: have individual distinct cells
acellular: spend part of lifestyle with cells fused together
What is the main role of slime and water molds in an environment?
decompose and recycle organic material (they are fungi)
create more organic material (they are fungi)
become apart of the organic material (they are fungi)
they have no purpose they are just there (they are fungi)
What is a phytoplankton?
mostly microscopic photosynthetic organisms that drift or swim near the surface of ponds lakes and oceans
reproductive cell with hard, protective coating

colony that uses hold fast to anchor itself
What is mycorrhizae?
temporary foot like extension of a cell used for locomotion or engulfing food
symbiotic relationship between fungal hyphae and plant roots
firm, flexible, coating outside plasma membrane
colony that uses hold fast to anchor itself
What is protists?
temporary foot like extension of a cell used for locomotion or engulfing food
reproductive cell with hard, protective coating
eukaryotes that are not animals plants or fungi
colony that uses hold fast to anchor itself
What is a algae?
temporary foot like extension of a cell used for locomotion or engulfing food
reproductive cell with hard, protective coating
plant like protists
colony that uses hold fast to anchor itself
How are diatoms glass like?
composed of silicon dioxide
composed of dioxide
composed of carbon dioxide
composed of silicon
A biologist has sample of what look's to be a marine plant. He thinks however it could be a species of algae. To test this he takes part of it dries it, crushes it, and mixes it with a solution. The solution thickens. Is this evidence it is a plant or algae? Why?
algae because it contains alginic acid
plant because it contains alginic acid
neither
plant because plants don’t contain alginic acids
A bread mold forms a stolen for reproduction. Does it reproduce sexually or asexually?
sexually
asexually
What is mycelium?
interwoven mat of hyphae that functions as a feeding structure of a fungus
filament of fungal cells
chemical that provides toughness and flexibility
zygote surrounded by a hard protective covering
What is hyphae?
part of fungus responsible for extra cellular digestion and absorption of digested food
threadlike structures making up the bodies of most fungi
chemical that provides toughness and flexibility
zygote surrounded by a hard protective covering
What is lichen?
part of fungus responsible for extra cellular digestion and absorption of digested food
filament of fungal cells
a mutualistic pairing of a fungus and alge
zygote surrounded by a hard protective covering
What is a protozoan?
part of fungus responsible for extra cellular digestion and absorption of digested food
filament of fungal cells
chemical that provides toughness and flexibility
animal like protists
What is yeast?
part of fungus responsible for extra cellular digestion and absorption of digested food
filament of fungal cells
chemical that provides toughness and flexibility
single celled fungi that reproduce asexually by simple cell division or by pinching
what uses pseudopods?
Sarcodines (type of amoeba)
peramecium
euglena
What is the function of a contractile vacuole and why do protists need these?
to store excess water and nutrients. Protists need contractile vacuoles to increase their cell size.
to produce energy for the cell. Protists need contractile vacuoles to generate ATP.
to transport waste out of the cell. Protists need contractile vacuoles to eliminate toxins.
collects extra water and releases it outside the cell to reduce pressure inside. Protists need these to keep them from exploding
Choose two pathogenic organisms from Kingdom Protista and what they cause.
Toxoplasma (birth defects)
entamoeba histolyctica (dysentery)
Plasmodium (mosquitos)
dia lambli (balding)
what is the easiest way to get rid of slime molds?
keep the habitat dry
keep habitat wet
there is nothing you can do
Select the parts of the mushroom.
fruiting body (produce spores)
gills
cap
mycelium (absorbs nutrients)
stem (holds plant up)
What group is responsible for most of the photosynthesis on earth?
diatoms
What are two maladies caused by pathogenic fungi.
Athletes foot
normal pooping
castworm
fire
ringworm
An imperfect fungi is........
a type of fungi with no known mode of sexual reproduction
