Module 3 – Kingdom Protista – Study Resources

Binary Fission Video

This is a very cool video showing a Protozoa Stylonychia reproducing through binary fission!

Prokaryotic Cells vs. Eukaryotic Cells Video

This is a good video describing Prokaryotic cells vs. Eukaryotic cells. It starts out talking about ringworm – hang in there, it’s going somewhere!

Videos of Protists Eating

Here are a some interesting videos of protists eating:

Paramecium eating pigmented yeast – vacuoles in action!

Amoeba Eating

Amoeba eating

I encourage you if you’re interested to also follow the link in the description of the amoeba video to an updated amoeba video (better technology/higher resolution): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE820gQu77s. It’s a longer video, but you can see the amoeba consuming euglena at 1:35 and again at 5:10.

Algae pictures and videos

Here are some pictures of various algae. Be sure to check out the videos of a Flagellate and Volvox in motion! https://www.flickr.com/…/galleries/72157627115611644/

Algae Venn Diagram

Here is a link to a worksheet where one of the exercises is to compare and contrast Euglena, Volvox, and Spirogyra by making a Venn diagram (www.biologycorner.com/worksheets/algae_lab.html). I think it’s a useful illustration of the similarities and differences between the three (and of how algae are very diverse!). It’s up to you whether you want your student to try making the Venn diagram themselves or just look at this solution.

Module 3 Jeopardy

Here is the link to the jeopardy game we played in lab, in case anyone would like to use it to study. You can select the number of teams (if you’re studying by yourself and want to keep your score, just select 1 team, or if you don’t want to keep score then select no teams) and then press start! Please don’t edit it!
