Match the following terms with their descriptions:

Protozoa = Microscopic, single-celled organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic Phytoplankton = Direct food sources for many zooplankton and some fish Biofilms = Covered by sediments formed by protozoa and other microorganisms Cyanobacteria = Some produce toxins that are lethal

Match the following organisms with their feeding habits:

Heterotrophic protozoans (e.g., amoeba) = Consume other organisms like algae or bacteria Phytoplankton = Direct food source for many zooplankton and some fish Cyanobacteria = Some can cause taste and odor problems in the water Zooplankton = Feed on phytoplankton

Match the following statements with the correct organism:

Protozoa form sediments on riverbeds = Protozoa along with other microorganisms Some protozoa are parasites causing giardiasis = Protozoa like Cryptosporidium Phytoplankton are the basis of deep-water food web = Direct food sources for many zooplankton and some fish Cyanobacteria produce toxins lethal to organisms = Some cyanobacteria species
