enFIProtists and Fungi17
protist : eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi
protozoan : animal like protist that are unicellular
pseudopod : temporary bulges of the cell
contractile vacuole : a structure that collects the extra water and then expels it from the cell
cilia : hairlike projections from cells that move and obtain
symbiosis : close relationship in which at least one of the species benefits
mutualism : when both partners benefit from living together, relationship is a type of symbiosis
algae : plantlike protists
pigment : chemicals that produce color
spore : a tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism
algae bloom : rapid growth of a population of algae
red tide : saltwater algae blooms
eutrophication : process in which nutrients build up in a lake or pond over time causing an increase in algae growth
fungi : eukaryotes that have cell walls, are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, and use spores to reproduce
hyphae : branching, thread-like tubes that make up the bodies of multicellular fungi
fruiting body : reproductive structures where fungi produce spores
budding : a form of asexual reproduction of yeast in which a new cell grows out of the body of a parent
lichen : the combination of fungus and either in algae or an autotrophic bacterium that live together in a mutualistic relationship
