In addition, this unit also incorporated our study of the animal-like protists/protozoa. Eleven questions will focus on the
identification of structures and organisms from lab diagrams. Look back over your protista lab! Review section 19.2 in your
textbook (p. 546)
Identify the organisms and the structures below:

Study your notes, classroom activities, lab activities, and homework assignments! The final exam was written from a multitude of
sources…but focus your study specifically on your notes from class!
During your study, focus on the CONCEPTS, not simply memorizing facts... Details will become clearer and make sense as you
review the major concepts in your mind. UNDERSTANDING THE FOLLOWING TERMS WILL HELP YOU
DRAMATICALL IN YOUR ATTEMPT TO PREPARE FOR THE EXAM. DO NOT SIMPLY DEFINE…FOCUS ON
