1. Kingdom Protista

Chemistry 30

2. Different Types of Protista

3. The First one is a Bacterium...

4. Recall The Details of the Kingdom...
Very Diverse
All Eukaryotic
Autotrophic and Heterotrophic
Most reproduce asexually, a few can reproduce sexually.

5. Details Continued... Most are free living, but a few are parasites.
Microscopic
Classified based on how they move, but very difficult to classify.

6. The General Definition of a Protist:
A protist is a eukaryote that is not a plant, animal or fungus.

7. 3 Types of Protists: Animal-like Protists Plant-like Protists
Fungus-like Protists

8. Animal-Like Protists
The defining feature of animal-like protists is that they are all heterotrophs. This means that animal-like protists consume other organisms (see page 573 of text).
All animal-like protists, however, are unicellular. In other words, they are composed of a single cell.
This is different from animals, as all animals – no matter how simple – are composed of many cells.

10. Plant-Like Protists
Plant-like protists are like plants because they are able to make their own food using chloroplasts.
Plant-like protists do not, however, have roots, stems or leaves and this is what makes them different from plants.
Plant-like protists are interesting in that they can be unicellular, colonial, or multicellular.

12. Fungus-Like Protists
Fungus-like protists decompose dead organisms, and examples of them include things such as slime molds.
Fungus-like protists used to be classified as a part of kingdom fungi, but this changed because during a part of their life cycle, fungus-like protists can move.
More to follow on actually fungus later in the unit.
