The cell type and the size of most Protists is how they are picked out from the other 5 kingdoms. What are cell type and size of many Protists ? Eucaryotic Vary in size Do not fit into other kingdoms

Within the Kingdom Protista some creatures are like animals, some are like plants and still others have things in common with fungi. Protists can be sorted into these groups. The Protozoa are like animal protists The Algae are like plant protists The Slime or Water Moulds are like fungus protists

Protozoa are the Protists that don’t have a cell wall and they eat or feed off of other creatures. Protozoa are told apart from one another by what they use to move themselves around. What three things are used by various Protozoa to move themselves around? Pseudopodia Flagella Cillia

What are the features of the Protozoa? Feed on other organisms or dead matter Some scavengers and some parasites Lack cell wall Most can move Have a complex life cycle

What features lets us tell one Protozoa from another Protozoa? Size Shape Method of movement How they feed

What are the common names and Phylum names of the four types of Protozoa? Flagellates (Phylum zoomastigina) Sarcodines (Phylum Sarcodina) Ciliates (Phylum Ciliophora) Sporazoans (Phylum Sporazoa)

What type of Protozoa causes African sleeping sickness (page 141)? Typanosoma brucei

What type of Protozoa causes Amoebic dysentery (page 145)? Entamoeba hystolotica

What type of Protozoa causes a form of malaria (page 146)? Plasmodium vivax

The bodies of what type of protozoa form the White cliffs of Dover (page 141)? Foraminifera

Slime Moulds and Water Moulds are weird creatures with a capital W. They have cell walls of cellulose, they aren’t photosynthetic, and they make spores. Slime Moulds and Water Moulds can placed into three different Phylums based upon the steps in reproduction and how they feed, and what large structure they form. What structure does each type of Slime Mold and Water Mold make when they reproduce? (I don’t mean babies) Spores

How are Slime Molds and Water Molds like Plants? (Two ways) Cellulose cell walls Produce spores

How are Slime Molds and Water Molds like Animals? (one way) Ingest food Move

How are Slime Molds and Water Molds like Fungus? (two ways) Saprobes Feed be releasing enzymes Produce spores

A creature called Phytophthora infestans was responsible for the Great Potato Famine in Ireland. Which kingdom does this creature belong in? Kingdom Protista

Algae are the only protists that perform photosynthesis. Algae are placed into six different Phyla based upon whether they are single celled or multicelled and what their main photopigment is. Algae Name Main PhotopigmentSingle Celled and / or Multicelled Green Algae ChlorophyllMulticellular Browm algae Chlorophyllmulticellular Red algae Chlorophyll multicellular Diatoms ChlorophyllMulticellular Dinoflagellates ChlorophyllMulticellular Euglenoids Chlorophyllmulticellular

What can Algae do that other Protists cannot do? photosynthesize

What features lets us tell one type of Algae from another? Type of chlorophyll Chemistry of cell walls Number and position of flagella Form that food reserves take in the cell

Why were Algae thought of as plants in the past? Why are they not considered plants anymore? Contained chlorophyll Do not have leaves, stems, roots, and water conducting tissues

What type of Algae is used as an ingredient in Toothpaste (page 149)? Diatoms

Why might Euglena be misnamed as a type of Algae (page 150)? (two reasons) Over half contain chloroplasts

What is the common name for multicellular Algae? seaweed
