Characteristics, continued Section 1 Characteristics of Protists Chapter 25 Characteristics, continued Nutrition Many protists are autotrophs, organisms that make their own food. Other protists are heterotrophs, organisms that must get their food by eating other organisms or their byproducts.

Chapter 25 Objectives Describe four main body forms of algae. Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Objectives Describe four main body forms of algae. List the common name for each of the seven phyla of plantlike protists. Explain how green algae and plants are similar. Describe four phyla of funguslike protists. Compare plasmodial slime molds, cellular slime molds, and water molds.

Characteristics of Algae Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Characteristics of Algae Algae can be unicellular, colonial, filamentous, or multicellular. Seven phyla of plantlike protists are Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, Bacillariophyta, Dinoflagellata, Chrysophyta, and Euglenophyta.

Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists Phylum Chlorophyta (Green Algae) Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists Phylum Chlorophyta (Green Algae) The phylum Chlorophyta contains more than 17,000 identified species of protists called green algae. Both green algae and plants have chlorophylls and accessory pigments, store food as starch, and have cell walls made up of cellulose.

Plantlike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists, continued Phylum Phaeophyta (Brown Algae) The phylum Phaeophyta includes approximately 1,500 species of multicellular organisms called brown algae. Brown algae are mostly marine organisms, and they include plantlike seaweeds and kelps.

Plantlike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists, continued Phylum Rhodophyta (Red Algae) The 4,000 species in the phylum Rhodophyta are known as red algae. A few species of red algae live in fresh water or on land, but most red algae are marine seaweeds.

Plantlike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists, continued Phylum Bacillariophyta (Diatoms) The phylum Bacillariophyta contains as many as 100,000 species of unicellular protists called diatoms.

Plantlike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists, continued Phylum Dinoflagellata (Dinoflagellates) More than 2,000 species of organisms called dinoflagellates make up the phylum Dinoflagellata. Some species of dinoflagellates, such as those in genus Noctiluca, can produce bioluminescence, a display of sparkling light often seen in ocean water at night.

Plantlike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists, continued Phylum Chrysophyta (Golden Algae) The phylum Chrysophyta contains about 1,000 species of golden algae. Most golden algae live in fresh water, but a few species are found in marine environments.

Plantlike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Plantlike Protists, continued Phylum Euglenophyta (Euglenoids) The phylum Euglenophyta contains about 1,000 species of flagellated unicellular algae called euglenoids. Euglenoids are both plantlike and animal-like. Many are autotrophic, like plants, but they lack a cell wall and are highly motile, like animals.

Chapter 25 Structure of Euglena Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Structure of Euglena

Chapter 25 Funguslike Protists Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Funguslike Protists Biologists recognize two groups of funguslike protists: slime molds and water molds.

Funguslike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Funguslike Protists, continued Phylum Myxomycota (Plasmodial Slime Molds) Plasmodial slime molds are multinucleate. As the plasmodium creeps along the forest floor by cytoplasmic streaming, it consumes decaying leaves and other debris by phagocytosis.

Funguslike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Funguslike Protists, continued Phylum Dictyostelida (Cellular Slime Mold) Cellular slime molds live as individual haploid cells that move about like amoebas. Each cell moves as an independent organism, creeping over the ground or swimming in fresh water and ingesting food.

Funguslike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Funguslike Protists, continued Phylum Oomycota (Water Molds) Water molds are composed of branching filaments and many of this phylum are parasitic.

Funguslike Protists, continued Section 3 Plantlike and Funguslike Protists Chapter 25 Funguslike Protists, continued Phylum Chytridiomycota (Water Molds) Members of phylum Chytridiomycota, or the chytrids, are primarily aquatic protists characterized by gametes and zoospores with a single, posterior flagellum.
