WARM- UP---REVIEW 1. Influenza is an example of this….. 2. Kuru is an example of this….. 3. Streptococcus is an example of this…. 4. Differences between archaea and bacteria 5. List the 3 Domains we learned. 6. List the 6 Kingdoms we learned.
KEY CONCEPT Kingdom Protista is the most diverse of all the kingdoms.
Protists can be animal-like, plantlike, or funguslike. Protists are eukaryotes that are not animals, plants, or fungi.
Animal-like protists consume other organisms. heterotrophs single-celled example: Oxytricha
Other examples of animal-like protists
Plantlike protists are photosynthetic. single-celled, colonial, or multicellular no roots, stems, or leaves Example: Pediastrum and Giant Kelp (algae) Use sunlight to make food
Funguslike protists decompose dead organisms. heterotrophs can move, where as fungi cannot Fuligo septica aka. Dog vomit slime mold
Protists are difficult to classify. Protista is one kingdom in the domain Eukarya.
Protist classification will likely change. Some protists are not closely related. Molecular evidence supports reclassification.
