can sense light and tends to move away from it

can almost be seen with the naked eye

has an ever changing shape

It’s a deep sea species of Foraminifera.

One of four species to be found in the Challenger Deep

This species has only been found in the Challenger Deep.

Parasite Causes malaria in

humans Known as “benign

malaria” because it is not as severe

Over 2,000 years old

Found in oceans at depths 0f 324 t0 1673 feet.

Have a bilateral symmetric shape, flattened and widened front.

Has 14 groups of spines.

Causes African sleeping sickness

There are three sub-species: T. b. brucei, T. b. gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense

Requires two hosts to carry out its growth

Unicellular they can reach 0.25mm

in length Use cilia to move Fresh-water Have two nuclei, as

described under the phylum ciliophora.

a slime mold that inhabits shady, cool, moist areas

sensitive to light may be seen

without a microscope

typically yellow in color

Slime mold can be found in soil and

moist leaf litter has a unique asexual,

short lifecycle that consists of four stages: vegetative, aggregation, migration, and culmination

fungus like micro-organism that causes Ramorum blight and sudden oak death

first identified in 1993 in Germany and The Netherlands

characterized by bleeding cankers on the lower trunk of trees

commonly known as the Sea Sparkle

Heterotrophic and phagotrophic

Size ranges from 200 to 2,000 µm in diameter

They usually eat plankton

First identified in North America in 1985.

Able to produce a toxin.

Toxins mainly kill fish and seem to have little effect on humans or cattle.

Chosen as the first eukaryotic marine phytoplankton for whole genome sequencing.

An ocean diatom Plays an important

role in Earth’s carbon cycle.

Form colonies that are green and float in water

Cannot move on its own, but it floats and is carried by animals to other bodies of water

Converts nitrogen from waste into a form other animals can use

Large brown seaweed

In warm water it can grow up to 12 meters long.

Grows attached to rocks

“branches” grown from its steam

Irish moss Grows abundantly

along the rocky parts of the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America

Relatively small Reddish-brown
