Protist any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungus, or a prokaryote.

They are eukaryotes and are not members of the kingdoms Plantae, Animalia, or Fungi. Pseudopods members of the phylum Sarcodina, or sarcodines move via temporacy cytoplasmic projections. Amoeboid movement the cytoplasm of the cell streams into the pseudopod, and the rest of the cell follows. Food acuole a small cavity in the cytoplasm that temporarily stores food. known as ciliates, use cilia for feeding and movement.

!embers of the phylum "iliophora Trichocysts.

very small, bottle shaped structures used for defense.

!acronucleus a working library of genetic information# a site for keeping multiple copies of most of the genes that the cell needs in its day to day e$istence. !icronucleus contains a reserve copy of all of the cell%s genes. &ullet an indentation in one side of the organism. Anal pore waste materials are emptied into the environment when the food vacuole fuses with a region of the cell membrane. "ontractile vacuoles "onjugation cavities in the cytoplasm that are speciali'ed to collect water.

when placed under stress, paramecia may engage in a process known as do not move on their own and are parasitic

!embers of the phylum Sporo'oa Some animal like protists sickness.

cause serious diseases, including malaria and African sleeping

Accessory pigments many algae also have compounds (yespot which helps the organism find sunlight to power photosynthesis

Pellicle (yglenas Filaments

don%t have cell walls, but they do have an intricate cell membrane the freshwater alga Spirogyra forms long threadlike colonies

Alternation of generations many algae switch back and forth between haploid and diploid stages during their life cycles. &ametophytes because they produce gametes, the haploid forms of )lva

Spores the diploid )lva undergoes meiosis to produce haploid reproductive cells Sporophyte the diploid )lva produces spores, or spore producing organism.

Acellular slime molds slime molds that pass through a stage in which their cells fuse to form large cells with many nuclei Fruiting body Antheridium *ogonium a slender reproductive structure that produces spores. produces male nuclei produces female nuclei
