Biology

2. Long threadlike colonies
5. Small, bottle-shaped structures used for defense
9. Helps organism find sunlight to power photosynthesis
10. Temporary projection of cytoplasm used by protists for feeding or movement.
11. Male reproductive structure in some algae and plants
12. Slime mold whose individual cells remain separated during every phase of the mold's life cycle
16. Process when algae switch back and fourth between haploid and diploid stages of their life
18. Slender reproductive structure that produces spores and its found in some fungus-like protists
21. Intricate cell membrane
23. Gamete-producing plants
24. Short hairlike projections similar to flagella
26. Contains "reserve copy" of all the cell's genes
27. Haploid reproductive cell

1. Any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungus, or a prokaryote.
3. "Working library" of genetic information
4. Accessory pigment found in red algae that is good at absorbing blue light
6. Diploid (spore-producing) phase of an organism
7. Form of sexual reproduction in which paramecia and some prokaryotes exchange genetic information
8. Population of algae and small photosynthetic organisms found near the surface of the ocean
11. Absorb light at different wavelengths than chlorophyll
12. Cavities in the cytoplasm that are specialized to collect water
13. Small cavity in the cytoplasm that temporarily stores food.
14. Spore case
15. Region where waste-containing food vacuoles fuse and are emptied into environment
16. Slime mold that passes through a stage in which its cells fuse to from large cells with many nuclei
17. Type of locomotion used by amoebus.
19. Indentation in one side of organism
20. Specialized structure formed by hyphae that produces female neclei
22. Structure with many nuclei formed by acellular slime molds
25. Tiny filament that makes up a multicellular fungus or a water mold
