• Algae is a photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms
• All algal contains cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, plastids, ribosomes, mitochondria, and golgi bodies.
• Protozoa are non photosynthetic , eukaryotic organism. Mostly live in soil and water. Also they do not make their own food.
• Protozoa doesnt have any cell wall, but some possess a thickened cell membrane where it is made to protect them, called "pellicle".
• a typical protozoan life cycle has 2 stages- a trophosize and a cyst.
• Trophozoite is the motile, feeding, dividing stage.
• Cyst is the non motile, dormant, survival stage.
• Parasitic protozoa is another type of protozoa that causes many human diseases, such as malaria, giardiasis, trypanosomiasis
• protozoa are divided into groups, based on their method of locomotion

  
  

  Amebae - Move by means of pseudopodia

  Ciliates - Move by means of hairlike cilia

  Flagellates - move by means of whiplike flagella

  Sporozoa - have no visible means of locomotion
• study of fungi is called mycology
• Fungi are virtually everywher, some are harmful, soeme are beneficial, the garbage disposers.
• Chitin - fungal cell walls containing a polysaccharide
• fungi are accelular, while others grow as filaments called hyphae
• Hyphae forms a mass and is called mycelium
• • Septate hyphae - hyphae with a septum (division)
  • Aseptate hyphae - Do not have septa
