Animal-Like Protists Protozoans With Pseudopods Protozoans With Cilia Protozoans With Flagella Protozoans That Are Parasites Plantlike Protists Diatoms Dinoflagellates Euglenoids Red Algae Green Algae Brown Algae Fungus-Like Protists Slime Molds Water Molds Downy Mildews

Protists Sentences that are true about protists. What is a Protist? Pg. 189 Sentences that are true about protists. All protists are eukaryotes, organisms that have cells with nuclei. Some protists are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs, and some are both. Lists the three categories into which scientists group protists. a. Animal-like protists b. Plant-like protists c. Fungus-like protists

Protists Animal-Like Protists Pg. 189-192 3. Circle the letter of each characteristic that animal-like protists share with animals. heterotroph movement 4. Another name for an animal-like protist is _____. protozoan 5. Describe how a sarcodine, such as an amoeba, gets food. They extend a pseudopod on each side of the food particle. The two pseudopods join together, trapping the particle inside.

Animal-Like Protists - Protists Amoebas are sarcodines that live in either water or soil. They feed on bacteria and smaller protists.

Dinoflagellates: They are surrounded by stiff plates, have a variety of color, have two flagella Eugleniods: Green, can be heterotrophs; have flagella

Protists Red algae: Multicellular Red pigment; found at deep ocean depths Green algae: Multicellular and unicellular Lives in colonies; is green; lives in fresh or salt water or moist areas on land. Brown algae: Green, yellow, orange, and brown in color; has plantlike structures; lives in cool, rocky water

Protists Sentences that are true about funguslike protists. Fungus-like Protists Pg.196-197 Sentences that are true about funguslike protists. Funguslike protists are heterotrophs. Funguslike protists use spores to reproduce. 18. List three types of funguslike protists. a. slime molds b. downy mildews c. water molds

Protists 19. Where do most water molds and downy mildews live? Most water molds live in water or moist places. 20. Circle the letter of each place where slime molds live. moist soil decaying plants

Comparing and Contrasting - Algal Blooms Comparing and Contrasting As you read, compare and contrast the two types of algal blooms in a table like the one below. Algal Blooms Properties Saltwater Blooms Freshwater Blooms Causes Increase in nutrients or temperature Nutrients build up, causing a rapid increase in algae growth. Effects Toxins concentrated in fish and shellfish that eat algae can cause illness to people and other large organisms when they consume the fish or shellfish. Fish and other organisms in the water die.

Algal Blooms 1. Sentences that are true about saltwater algal blooms. Saltwater Blooms Pg. 199 1. Sentences that are true about saltwater algal blooms. Saltwater algal blooms are commonly called red tides. Dinoflagellates and diatoms are two kinds of algae that often cause red tides. 2. List two conditions that often cause red tides to occur. An increase of nutrients in the water An increase in ocean temperature

Algal Blooms 3. Why are red tides dangerous to people and other organisms? The algae produces toxins that become concentrated in the fish and shellfish that eat the algae. When people or other organisms eat the fish and shellfish, they can become seriously ill or even die. Freshwater Blooms Pg. 200 In a process called _________nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, build up in a lake or pond over time, causing an increase in the growth of algae. eutrophication

Algal Blooms 5. Flowchart: Algae on the water’s surface prevent _____from reaching plants and other algae underwater. These plants ____and sink to the bottom. Sunlight Die _______that break down the remains of the dead plants increase in number and use up all the _____ in the water. Bacteria Oxygen Fish and other organisms ____without the _____they need to survive.

Asking Questions - Fungi Before you read, preview the red headings. In a graphic organizer like the one below, ask a what or how question for each heading. As you read, write the answers to your questions. Question Answer What are fungi? Fungi are eukaryotes that have cell walls, are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, and use spores to reproduce. How do fungi reproduce? Fungi reproduce by making spores. What is the role of fungi in nature? Fungi are important decomposers and recyclers.

- Fungi What Are Fungi? Fungi are eukaryotes that have cell walls, are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, and use spores to reproduce. The cells of most fungi are arranged in a structure called hyphae.

Fungi Sentences that are true about fungi. They are eukaryotes What are Fungi? Pg. 202-204 Sentences that are true about fungi. They are eukaryotes Most use spores to reproduce 2. What are three examples of fungi? Some examples of fungi are cricket-killing fungus, bread mold, mushrooms, yeast, and bracket fungi.

Fungi The cells of fungi are arranged in branching, threadlike tubes called _____. hyphae 4. Fuzzy-looking molds that grow on food have hyphae that are packet tightly together. False-loosely tangled 5. Identify the structures on the mushroom. Starting from the top: Cap Gills Stalk Hyphae Underground Hyphae

Fungi Describe the process by which a fungus feeds. Hyphae from the fungus grow into a food source. Digestive chemicals ooze from the hyphae into the food. The digestive chemicals break down the food so the hyphae can absorb it. 7. Some fungi are parasites. True

- Fungi What Are Fungi? Fungi absorb food through hyphae that grow into the food source.

Fungi Most fungi reproduce by making _____. spores Reproduction in Fungi Pg. 204-205 Most fungi reproduce by making _____. spores 9. Yeast cells reproduce asexually in a process called ____. budding Fungi reproduce sexually when growing conditions become unfavorable. True

Fungi What are the three major groups of fungi? Sac fungi Club fungi Zygote fungi The Role of Fungus in Nature Pg. 206 12. Fungi that are ______break down the chemicals in dead organisms. decomposers 13. Certain kinds of fungi cause diseases in plants and humans. True

Fungi Some molds produce______, substances that kill bacteria. antibiotics How do some fungi help plants grow larger and healthier? The fungi’s hyphae grow among the plant’s roots and absorb water and nutrients from the soil for the plant.

Fungi An organism that consists of a fungus and either algae or autotrophic bacteria that live together in a mutualistic relationship is a _____. The fungus provides the algae or autotrophic bacteria with ______. The algae or autrotrophic bacteria provide the fungus with _____. Lichen Shelter, water and minerals Food

- Fungi Fungi and Trees A biologist conducted an experiment to see how root-associated fungi affect the growth of four different tree species. Each species was divided into two groups–trees grown with root-associated fungi and trees grown without the fungi.

Fungi and Trees - Fungi Reading Graphs: How did the biologist measure tree growth? By measuring average height in meters

Fungi and Trees - Fungi Interpreting Data: For each species, which group of trees showed more growth? Those grown with root-associated fungi.

Fungi and Trees - Fungi Calculating: What is the average height difference between sour orange trees that grew with root-associated fungi and those that grew without fungi? About 5 meters

Fungi and Trees - Fungi Calculating: What is the height difference between avocado trees that grew with and without the fungi? About 1.5 meters

Fungi and Trees - Fungi Drawing Conclusions: Based on this experiment, how do root-associated fungi affect tree growth? Root-associated fungi improve or enhance tree growth.

Graphic Organizer Excess nutrients flow into a lake. Algal growth increases. Layer of algae prevents sunlight from reaching plants and other algae beneath. These plants and algae die. Decomposers increase in number and use up oxygen in the water. Fish and other organisms in the water die.
