3. No; this band will probably appeal to a
large crowd of amoebas because they
have false feet.
4. No; kelp are producers and would
probably not like Dead Organic Matter.
Funguslike protists, including slime
molds, would probably enjoy this
group the most.
5. Sample answer: I think Gus should go
to either Captain Kelp’s or Shady
Street. These places would most likely
have other slime molds.

Lichens make acid that breaks down
rocks and cause cracks. Soil developes
in the cracks and other organisms can
grow in the soil.
12. Fungi can reproduce both sexually
and asexually. Asexual reproduction
can occur when spores are produced
or when hyphae break apart and each
new piece becomes a new individual.
Sexual reproduction occurs when special structures produce sex cells.
These cells join to make spores that
grow new fungus.

parasite damaged most of the potatoes
in Ireland in the mid-1800s causing
starvation.
Binary fission occurs when a singlecelled protist divides into two cells.
Multiple fission occurs when two offspring are formed from one parent.
A food vacuole collects enzymes to
digest food. The digested food then
passes into the amoeba. To get rid of
waste, the amoeba reverses this
process and the waste-filled vacuole is
moved to the edge of the cell and is
released.
If there is not enough water or nutrients available, a protist will not have
the proper energy to reproduce asexually. It will then reproduce sexually
until the conditions improve.
Red algae also have a red pigment in
their cells that gives them a red color.
Lichens absorb water and minerals
from the air, so if lichens are abundant, the air quality is good. If they are
not, air pollution may be a problem in
the area.
Answers will vary. Sample answer:
Lichens are a combination of both
fungi and algae. The algae produce
food through photosynthesis. The
fungi provide a protective wall that
keeps the lichen from drying out.
A is a micronucleus and it passes
genetic material to another individual
during sexual reproduction.
B is a food vacuole and it digests food
using enzymes.
C is a macronucleus and it controls
the functions of the cell.
