| Cilia | short, thread-like hairs that extend from the cell and help it move. |
| Malaria | A disease caused by an animal-like protist known as a sporozoa |
| Animal-like protists | These protists DO NOT make their own food. They include sporozoans, ciliates, flagellates, and rhizopods |
| Psuedopods | Temporary extensions of the cytoplasm of rhizopod protists. These help the organism to eat and move. |
| Plant-like protists | These protists make their own food and are often referred to simply as algae. They include, diatoms, dinoflagellates, brown algae-kelp, red algae, green algae and euglenas. |
| Flagella | The whip-like tail found on some protists. |
| Water Mold | The fungi-like protists that caused the Irish Potato Famine. |
| Fungus-like Protists | This type of protist includes water molds, downy mildew, and slime molds. |
| Protists | A kingdom of organisms that can be either single or many-celled and are eukaryotic. They are the evolutionary ancestors to Plants, Animals, and Fungi. |
| Hyphae | The body of a fungus is mostly made up of these many-celled threadlike tubes. |
| Spores | Reproductive cells tthat form new organisms without fertilization. Depending how a fungus releases theses cells places it in one of the four fungi phyla. |
| Sporangia | Round spore cases found on the tips of upright hyphae on Zygote Fungi. |
| Lichen | An organism that is made of a fungus and either a green alga or a cyanobacterium. The two organisms work together to survive. |
| Basidium | Reproductive organs of Club Fungi. Typical mushrooms have these structures on the gills under the mushroom cap. |
| Ascus | Special sac-like structures found on Sac Fungi like truffles and morels. Reproductive spores are located in this sac. |
| Fungi | One of the Six Kingdoms of Living Things. Members are decomposers and are many celled and eukaryotic. Organisms in this kingdom get their food through absorbtion from living organisms and decaying organic matter. |
| Imperfect Fungi | 1 of the 4 phyla of the Fungi Kingdom. Scientists are unaware of how these organisms reproduce. |
| Sac Fungi | 1 of the 4 phyla of Fungi Kingdom. These organisms differ from other fungi in that they use a structure called an ascus to release their reproductive spores. |
| Club Fungi | 1 of the 4 phyla of Fungi Kingdom. These organisms differ from other fungi in that they use a structure called a basidium to release their reproductive spores. |
| Yeast | A special type of Sac Fungi that reproduces through a process called budding. These organisms also help bread rise. |
| Zygote Fungi | 1 of th 4 phyla of fungi in the Kingdom. These organisms differ from other fungi in that they use a structure called a sporangia to release their reproductive spores. |
| Mycorrhizae | A network of fungi hyphae and plant roots that are intertwined. About 80% of plants develop these roots systems. |
| Algae | Another name for plant-like protists. |
| Protozoa | Another name for animal-like protists. |
| Decomposers | Organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and insects that help to break down organic matter. |
