Protists I & II

Horizontales
Protists are _________ and are thought to have evolved through the process of endosymbiosis.
__________ move using a whip-like flagellum and can also change their shape and move using a process called metaboly involving bending and twisting of the cell body.
Amoebas are primarily heterotrophic feeding on bacteria and small particles by engulfing them through ________.
Protists obtain ATP energy required for ________ processes through respiration.
Water molds are more closely related to fungi because they have a cell wall but cannot perform __________.
Protists share a few common structures and functions, including a nucleus that differentiates them from _________ bacteria.
Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are not ____, plants, or animals.
Sporozoans are _________ and absorb nutrients from their host cells by direct uptake or through specialized structures like the apical complex.
Ciliates move using numerous short, hair-like structures called cilia which create water ________ that propel the organism in a specific direction.
_________ move using one or more whip-like flagella which beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through its environment.
_________ are more closely related to animals because they lack a cell wall and cannot perform photosynthesis.
Verticales
Algae are more closely related to plants because they have a cell _____ and can perform photosynthesis.
Protists can be classified into several groups based on their characteristics, including how they move and how they obtain ________.

Amoebas move by extending their cell membrane through the formation of pseudopodia which are temporary projections of ________.
Euglenoids are often ___________, meaning they can be both autotrophic and heterotrophic. They contain chloroplasts and can perform photosynthesis in the presence of light, but they can also absorb nutrients from their environment or engulf prey using phagocytosis.

Protists have a plasma cell membrane that regulates the passage of material in and out of the cell to maintain _________.
