A type of asexual reproduction where two daughter cells form, with one developing as a bud on the other.

A mutually beneficial relationship between two individuals of dierent species.

A long appendage extending from the plasma membrane of some cells, which they use like a whip in order to move

An organism that feeds on remains of decaying organic matter.

Filamentous structures formed of groups of cells that make up the body of a multicellular fungus.

Foot-like projections of the cytoplasm in some cells, which enable the cell to move or capture food.

A group of non-tissue-forming eukaryotic organisms that can be multicellular or unicellular. Some use autotrophic nutrition (algae) and others use heterotrophic nutrition (protozoa).

Reproductive organs containing spores.

Small motile filaments on the surface of some protozoa that beat to enable movement.

An organism that lives o another organism of a dierent species, harming it but not killing it.

A type of asexual reproduction where a new individual forms from a fragment of another.

A type of asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms where the parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Unicellular prokaryotic organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Bacteria are the most representative organisms of this kingdom.

Unicellular fungi.

A group of unicellular or multicellular living beings that are formed of eukaryotic cells, have no real tissues and use heterotrophic nutrition.

The body of a multicellular fungus formed by strands of hyphae.

A green substance that captures energy from the Sun and allows photosynthesis to take place. We find it in plants, some algae and some bacteria.
