| the simplest but most diverse of all eukaryotes | ||
| Flagellated protozoan; has two nuclei and multiple flagella (Lack plastids, mitchondria lacks DNA) | ||
| Flagellated protozoan; moves by means of flagella and an undulating part of the plasma membrane, is symbiotic (Lack plastids, mitchondria lacks DNA) | ||
| flagellated protozoan; human pathogens that are transmitted by insects (life-cycles involve more than one host), is from the family of kinetoplastids | ||
| Flagellated protozoan; have one or two flagella that emerge from a pocket at one end of the cell, store the glucose polymer paramylon | ||
| flagellated protozoan; have a single, large mitochondrion that contains an organized mass of DNA called a kinetoplast, marine ecosystems | ||
| Aveolate; use cilia to move and feed, have a macronuclei and micronuclei (functions during conjugation) | ||
| Aveolate; aquatic photoautotrophs and heterotrophs, reinforced by internal plates of cellulose and have two flagella that make them spin as they move through the water | ||
| Aveolate; apex contains a complex of organelles specialized for penetrating host cells and tissues, life cycles include asexual and sexual stages as well as multiple hosts | ||
| group of protists classified by tail | ||
| group of protists classified by membrane-bound sacs under the plasma membrane | ||
| group of protists classified by "hairy" flagellum paired with a "smooth" flagellum | ||
| stramenopile; have filaments (hyphae) that facilitate nutrient uptake, Are decomposers or parasites (closely related to fungi and caused the potato famine in Ireland) | ||
| stramenopile; unicellular algae with a unique two-part, glass-like wall of hydrated silica | ||
| stramenopile; typically biflagellated, with both flagella attached near one end of the cell, have yellow and brown carotenoids | ||

| Cercozoan; multichambered shells called tests, Pseudopodia extend through the pores in the test | ||
| Cercozoan; marine protists whose tests are fused into one delicate piece which is generally made of silica, pseudopodia, known as axopodia, radiate from the central body | ||
| have an accessory pigment called phycoerythrin, most abundant algae in costal waters of the tropics | ||
| closely related to plants, named for their green-grass chloroplasts | ||
