Are things That
Different?

Do That?
Picture This
Mixed Bag
What is the main difference between
animal-like protists and plantlike protists?
Animal-like are heterotrophs and
Plantlike are autotrophs
What is the 1 major difference between
Protozoans and Animals?
Protozoans are unicellular and animals
are multicellular.
Explain how a flagellate and amoeboid move.
The flagellate uses it’s flagella to move
through water, the amoeboid uses
pseudopods to move.
What are 2 similarities and 2 differences
between Fungi and Protists?
(other than they are eukaryotic)
• Both live in moist areas
• Both can be either multicellular or unicellular
• Protists can be autotrophs, Fungi are heterotrophs
• Protists can move, Fungi can’t
Similarities Differences
Explain how this organism gets its food.
Ameboids use pseudopods to trap food particles by
extending pseudopods on each side of a food
particle and trapping the food particle inside.
What do heterotrophic bacteria eat?
They decompose other organisms and they also eat other autotrophic bacteria
What are 2 ways Fungi are helpful to animals and the environment?
•Fungi break down (decompose) dead organisms
•Food source for many heterotrophs
Explain the 3 steps fungi go through in order to obtain food.
• First the fungi grows hyphae into a food source.
• Then digestive chemicals ooze from the hyphae into the food source.
• Finally, the digestive chemicals break down the food into small pieces the fungi can absorb.
This organism is in the flagellate group. What structure(s) does this organism use to move.
This organism uses its flagella to move through
the water.
Fungi reproduce by producing lightweight spores. Name 2 ways
spores can spread.
•Wind
•Animals
•Rain/Water
On your handout, draw a picture of an organism that is classified as a
Ciliate.
What is unique about Euglena?
Euglena can be an autotroph when there is
sunlight, and when there is no sunlight it can become
heterotrophic.
Explain the relationship between the human and the
fungi.
The fungi is a parasite to the human, the fungi lives off the human causing harm to the
human.
Explain what this organism is doing.
In this picture, the yeast cell is budding which is
a form of asexual reproduction.
Name this type of fungi.
This is a picture of sac fungi.
Sexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
These pictures show protists reproducing. What is each of the processes called?
In the sexual reproduction picture, the paramecium is going through conjugation. This is when 2
paramecium join together to exchange genetic material.
In the asexual reproduction picture, the amoeba is going through binary fission where 1 amoeba splits into 2 new ones.
What is one way bacteria and fungi are
similar?
They can both be decomposers of dead
organisms.
Why do protists that live in water have a contractile
vacuole?
The job of a contractile vacuole is to release extra water. If the
protist did not have the contractile vacuole, it would not
be able to remove the extra water and it would pop.
Name this structure and explain what it does.
The structure shown is a fruiting body. Fruiting bodies are reproductive
hyphae that fungi use for reproduction.
Inside of a cow’s stomach, there are
bacteria that help the cow break down food. What is this an example
of?
This is an example of symbiosis. The bacteria
helps the cow by breaking down the
plants it eats.
