What are the characteristics of protists?

Organisms classified under Kingdom Protista do not have many similarities to each other. 

Group protistan division/phyla

Phyla under Protozoa are classified according to their mobility structure while Divisions under Protophyta are classified according to their color

These are extensions of the cell membrane and cytoplasm which amoebas use to move. These are usually found on organisms under Phylum Sarcodina

Link animal like protists according to their mobility structure

Organisms under Phylum Ciliophora have 2 nuclei: a macronucleus for cell control and micronucleus for sexual reproduction

Most organisms under Phylum Mastigophora are pathogenic and has a complex structure at its tip. One example is the Plasmodium which moves toward our liver and causes malaria.

Which of the following has a flagella?

Odd one out based on color

These have red phycobilins called phycoerythrin. They also possess agar and carrageenan in their cell walls.

These are green-colored and considered as direct ancestors of plants as they have chlorophyll A & B and a cellulosic cell wall.

These are harmful brown-colored armored and flagellated protophyta that causes paralyzing Red Tide

These are also called Grass of the Sea. They also possess diatomaceous earth.

These have animal-like, plant-like, and microorganism-like characteristics, are flagellated, and are autotropic but can be heterotrophic when it needs to

These have the presence of aggregated amoebas, are haploid regardless of mode of reproduction, and can be identified by individual cells. Its asexual reproduction produces fruiting bodies.

The sexual reproduction of Acrasiomycetes produce a fruiting body

These are slime molds identified as one whole group and is part sexual, part asexual.

Myxamoeba becomes what when it grows a flagellum when its reproducing asexually?

These are fungi that has a cellulosic cell wall

Symbiotic relationship of a fungi and an algae

Lichens are bio-indicator of absence of pollution

On lichens, the fungi is assigned for moisture and absorption of nutrients while the algae is assigned for photosynthesis 

Differentiate the three forms of lichens

Volvox is a multicellular flagellated organism that resembles a circle containing smaller circles containing much smaller circles and so on. They have chlorophyll A & B and a cellulosic cell wall. What Protistan Division does Volvox fall under?

Dinoflagellates cause what harm?

Odd one out
