Protists, Fungi, and Bacteria

What is the main characteristic of fungi?

• Fungi are autotrophic organisms that produce their own food.

• Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that absorb nutrients from their environment.

• Fungi are organisms that can photosynthesize like plants.

• Fungi are unicellular organisms that do not require nutrients.

What is the difference between plant-like and animal-like protists?

• Plant-like protists can perform photosynthesis, while animal-like protists are heterotrophic and consume other organisms.

• Both types of protists can perform photosynthesis.

• Animal-like protists can perform photosynthesis, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.

• Plant-like protists are unicellular, while animal-like protists are multicellular.

How do bacteria move?

• Using cilia

• By diffusion

• Using flagella

• Through osmosis

What is an example of a unicellular fungus?

• Yeast is an example of a unicellular fungus.

• Mushroom is an example of a unicellular fungus.

• Penicillium is an example of a unicellular fungus.

• Aspergillus is an example of a unicellular fungus.

What is a common habitat for fungi?

• Moist, dark environments

• Open, sunny fields

• Dry, sandy deserts

• Cold, icy regions

What is the role of bacteria in the environment?

• Bacteria are primarily responsible for photosynthesis.

• Bacteria play essential roles in decomposition, nutrient cycling, and as part of the food chain.

• Bacteria are harmful organisms that cause diseases only.

• Bacteria are used exclusively in industrial processes.

Where do protists live?

• In dry deserts

• In moist environments

• In polar ice caps

• In the human body

How do protists reproduce?

• Protists reproduce only asexually through binary fission.

• Protists reproduce only sexually through conjugation.

• Protists can reproduce asexually through binary fission or sexually through conjugation.

• Protists reproduce by budding and fragmentation.

What does yeast get its energy from?

• Fat
