Life Science Chapter 11 - Summary Notes
Protists:
- Protists are eukaryotic, which means their cells have a nucleus.
- Some protists are unicellular, some are multicellular.
- Funguslike protists absorb food from dead organic matter or from another organism’s body.
- Slime molds and water molds are funguslike protists. Parasitic water molds are dangerous to crops.
- Plantlike protists are known as algae. Algae contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
- Phytoplankton are the algae that produce most of the world’s oxygen.
- Animal-like protists are protozoa.
- Amoebas are a protozoa that feed by engulfing food.
- Spore-forming protozoa absorb nutrients from their hosts. Plasmodium vivax is the spore-forming protist that causes malaria.
- Protists reproduce asexually by fission or sexually by conjugation.
