Multiple choice list for Protist:     

range in size from microscopic to meters long some are poisonous, others are edible Eukaryotic - mostly unicellular; some are multicellular producers (autotroph) and consumers (heterotroph) classified by the way they obtain energy Descriptions or detail

             

consumer they secrete digestive juices into their food source and then absorb the digested nutrients producers – autotroph green because of chlorophyll can also have other pigments to give them other colors most are aquatic multicellular algae can be meters long unicellular algae producers that provide food for most organisms and most of the worlds oxygen unicellular producers (autotrophs) also known as protozoa some are parasites

Examples – slime mold seaweed/kelp water mold phytoplankton red algae brown algae green algae (most diverse group) diatoms amoeba-like soft jellylike

(details for examples)  thin masses of living matter  colorful shapeless blobs  parasite in humans  fresh water  salt water  soil  unicellular  may come together to form one group of cells with many nuclei  live in cool, shaded, moist places (woods & fresh water)  eat bacteria, yeast, decaying plant & animal matter  can get as big as 1m across  unicellular, lives in water, moist soil, or other organisms  they are decomposers and parasites  can cause disease and endanger crops

Multiple Choice List for Fungi:

  

Eukaryotic consumer usually decomposers and maybe parasitic



producers unlike fungi



many are decomposers, others are parasites

   

many shapes, colors secretes digestive juices onto food source then absorbs the dissolved substance largest group of fungi umbrella shaped mushrooms are the most common

  

combination of fungus and alga the alga lives in the walls of fungi can be found almost anywhere & in almost any type of environment



only require air, light and minerals to grow



this group contains all of the fungi that doesn't fit into any other group

    

Examples example - disease, athlete's foot truffles- edible mold (on bread, fuzzy black mold) powdery mildews yeast - uses sugar as food

 

Pros & Cons another form produces a poison called aflatoxin which can cause cancer some are sources of antibiotics & vitamins



good fungi in this group is used to produce penicillin, cheese, soy sauce, and citric acid (which is used in sodas)



some are edible, some are poisonous
