- flagellate
- a prozoan that propels itself w/ flagellum
- pellicle
- a firm, flexible coating outside the plasma membrane
- chloroplast
- an organelle containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis
- chlorophyll
- a pigment necessary for photosynthesis
- eyespot
- light sensitive region in certain protozoa
- mutalism
- a relationship between two organisms of different species where all benefit from association
- commensalisms
- a relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits & other is neither harmed nor benefited
- parasitism
- a relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits & other is harmed
- cilia
- hairlike projections that extend from plasma membrane & are used for locomotion
- spore
- a reproductive cell w/ a hard protective coating
- plankton
- tiny organisms that float in the water
- zooplankton
- tiny floating organisms that are either small animals or protozoa
- phytoplankton
- tiny floating photosynthetic organisms, primarily algae
- pseudopod
- a temporary, foot-like extension of a cell, used for locomotion or engulfing food
- nucleus
- region of an eukaryotic cell that contains the cells main DNA
- thallus
- the body of plant-like organism that isn't divided into leaves, roots, or stems
- vacuole
- membrane-bounded "sac" within a cell
- food vacuole
- holds & stores food while being dijested
- ectoplasm
- thin, watery cytoplasm near plasma membrane of some cells
- algal bloom
- when algae reproduce quickly & make water around them same color as they are
- contractile vacuole
- regulates amount of water in cell
- endoplasm
- the dense cytoplasm found in interior of many cells
- green algae
- algae w/ chlorophyll
- cellulose
- a substance made of sugars that is common in cell walls of many organisms
- holdfast
- a special structure used by an organism to anchor itself
- sessile colony
- a colony that uses holdfast to anchor itself to an object

- single-celled creature w/ two flagella
- red tide
- bloom w/ reddish- brown algae
