KINDGOM Protista Names reflect modes of locomotion Phylum Ciliophora - cilia Phylum Sarcomastigophora Subphylum Sarcodina – pseudopodia Subphylum Mastigophora - flagella Phylum Sporozoa – non motile as adults

Protista Facto! Protists are usually unicellular, but can be colonial Can colonize just about any moist environment Autotrophs (PHS), heterotrophs (phagocytosis), parasitic (malaria) even symbionts (termite & zooflagellates = mutualistic relationship) Reproduce asexually by binary fission or by budding Reproduce sexually by conjugation or by syngamy (gametes)

A by the micronucleus (can’t see!), macronucleus (A) Phylum Ciliophora Paramecium conjugating (sexual reproduction controlled by the micronucleus (can’t see!), macronucleus (A)

Phylum Sarcomastigophora Subphylum Sarcodina Foramnifera Generally benthic – they live here! CHAMBERED, (shells & bubbles) CaCO3 tests (skeletons), extend pseudopodia through pores.

SPHERICAL bodies, silica tests (skeletons), extend Phylum Sarcomastigophora Subphylum Sarcodina Radiolaria (round) Generally pelagic – they live here! SPHERICAL bodies, silica tests (skeletons), extend pseudopodia through the tiny holes in the shell
