    Binary Fission

    The process of reproduction in some organisms where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It's a common form of asexual reproduction in many single-celled organisms.

    Spore Formation

    A type of reproduction where organisms produce spores, often within structures called sporangia. Spores are resistant structures that can survive harsh conditions.

    Holozoic Nutrition

    A type of nutrition where organisms obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms. This is a common mode of nutrition among animals.

    Mixotrophic Nutrition

    A unique type of nutrition displayed by some Protists. These organisms can produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants (autotrophic) and also consume other organisms like animals (heterotrophic).

    Types of Protista

    Members of the Kingdom Protista are diverse. They include protozoans, diatoms, dinoflagellates, euglenoids, and slime molds.

    Sexual Reproduction

    A type of reproduction involving the fusion of two gametes (sex cells), contributing genetic material from both parents. Provides genetic diversity.

    Asexual Reproduction

    A type of reproduction where an organism produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself, without the involvement of gametes.
