Cards

Term
 each cell has 2 nuclei and all lack cell wall; some lack lysosomes and mitochondria; some parasitic; swim with flagella; asexual reproduction; intestinal parasites
Definition

Excavata (diplomondicla)

Term
 lack cell wall and have one nucleus; engulf bacteria. archaea and other organic matter; have flagella; asexual; lie in gut/mouth of humans; threat to chicken/turkey farms
Definition

Excavata (parabasalida)

Term
 lack external cell wall; photosynthesis and ingesting; use flagella; asexual; important for plankton and food chain
