1. FUNGUS-LIKE -decompose -reproduce with spores -can cause disease in plants -Examples: *slime mold *mildew unicellular OR multi-cellular ANIMAL-LIKE -eat other organisms for food -can cause disease -classified by how they move -Examples: *Ciliates*Flagellates *Pseudopods*Non-movers 3 Types Live in damp, or wet environments Reproduce: 1. Asexually by regeneration or binary fission 2. Sexually by sex cells combining PLANT-LIKE -Make food with photosynthesis -Examples: *Algae *Diatoms *Dinoflagellates *Euglenoids PROTIST eukaryotic

2. HELPFULHARMFUL *Algae (plant-like protists) provide oxygen for the water and atmosphere *Provide food sources for other organisms-seaweed, plankton, algae, kelp *Cause red tide- red algae over grows and takes nutrients from the water *Cause disease in humans- animal-like protists can cause diseases: -African sleeping sickness -Malaria -dysentary *Cause disease in plants- Slime mold can weaken plants

3. Why are plant-like protists important? http://90ways.com/sciarchive/sci21.php90ways.com/sciarchive/sci21.php Red Tide in Maine Seaweed Salad…mmm!

4. PLANT-LIKE PROTISTS 1.DIATOMS (Unicellular) Look like glass shapes 2. DINOFLAGELLATES (Unicellular) Some glow in the dark (bioluminescent) *Red tide 3. EUGLENOIDS (Unicellular) Move towards light 4. RED ALGAE (Multicellular) Live deep in the ocean

5. 5. BROWN ALGAE (Multicellular) Live in middle ocean *Kelp – food source 6. GREEN ALGAE (Unicellular or Multicellular) Close to surface *Lots of chlorophyll *Release O 2 into the air

6. DIATOMS!

7. EUGLENOIDS!

8. DINOFLAGELLATES!

9. GREEN ALGAE!

10. BROWN ALGAE/KELP!

11. RED ALGAE! Live deep at 200m

12. 1.CILIATES *ParameciumCilia to move 2. FLAGELLATES *Proterospongia Flagella to move Live in stomach of termites Can cause African sleeping sickness ANIMAL-LIKE PROTOZOANS (All unicellular)

13. 3.PSEUDOPODS *Amoeba Use “false feet” 4.NON-MOVERS *parasites *Plasmodium, causing malaria Move by living on other organisms Parasites Can cause malaria http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehi-tv/movies/malaria.html

14. Disease causing protozoans… Plasmodium causes malaria and is passed by mosquitos http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehi-tv/movies/malaria.html Under the microscope Mosquito carrier (female Anopheles mosquito) http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/347/main.html -Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water like swamps -Rainy season in African countries -Mosquitoes become resistant to pesticides

15. Prevention -Anti-malarial medicine -Cover bare skin -Use repellent -Mosquito netting Treatment Is treatable and curable with prescription medicine when caught early www.thesafaricompany.co.za/Malaria_in_Africa.htm Symptoms -Fever, flu symptoms -Chills, muscle aches -Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea -Yellow coloring of eyes and skin

16. 1.SLIME MOLDS Live on decaying plants Can move with false feet 2.WATER MOLDS Wet places Mildew Can kill plants FUNGUS-LIKE PROTISTS
