Protista
2
In General Usually unicellular Mostly aquatic life Reproduction:
Eukaryotic Mostly aquatic life Reproduction: Some asexual, some sexual, some both Feeding: Most heterotrophic, some autotrophic Kingdom for life that doesn’t fit in animals, plant or fungi kingdom 3 main categories Animal-like Plant-like Fungus-like Animal-like Plant-like Fungi-like Analogy: Kitchen junk drawer

Animal-Like Protista AKA: Protozoans
Heterotrophic: pathogens, parasites, predators Classified by how they move: 1) Pseudopods : move w/ pseudopodia (false- feet) Engulf by phagocytosis Ex: Amoebas

Animal-Like Protista & Disease
Plasmodium injected by mosquito bite Disease: Malaria Cause: Plasmodium Vector: mosquitoes Effects in humans: Fever, vomiting, coma, death Plasmodium develop inside your liver Plasmodium reproduce inside your RBCs Plasmodium reenters mosquito when bitten
11
Plant-like Protista AKA: Algae Plant-like: Photosynthetic
No roots, no leaves, usually unicellular Classified by their type of cell wall 1) Euglenoids: use flagella to swim Plant-like: photosynthetic Animal-like: swim

Plant-like Protista AKA: Algae Plant-like: Photosynthetic
No roots, no leaves, usually unicellular Classified by their type of cell wall Euglenoids Plant-like: photosynthetic Animal-like: swim 2) Dinoflagellates Most plankton Basis of aquatic food chains 3) Diatoms Glasslike shells Provide ~ ½ Earth’s O2

Fungus-like Protista Decomposers: recycle nutrients
Mobile at stages of life cycle Spores can develop cilia Slime Molds: large (~1 meter) single celled mass of cytoplasm Fungus & animal-like

Protista: The Origins of Multicellular Life
Some protista are… 1) Single-celled Live by themselves 2) Colonial Group of independent acting cells No specialized cells 3) Multicellular Cells specialized to be specific jobs Importance: Ancestors of multicellular life This is a colony of cells called Volvox Unicellular Euglena Multicellular Kelp
20
Kingdom Protista Animal-like Pseudopods Move with false feet
Flagellates Move with flagella Ciliates Move with cilia Plant-like Diatoms Glass-like shells Dinoflagellates Plankton Euglenoids Move like animals, autotrophs like plants Fungus-like Slime molds Move like animals, absorb food like fungi Water molds Often parasites Responsible for Irish Potato Famine

Review 1) Name the three categories of protista.
2) Which category of protista has members that are able to move? 3) Which category of protista has members that absorb nutrients? 4) Which category of protista has members that are heterotrophs? 5) Which category of protista has members that hunt? 6) How does a pseudopod, flagella, and cilia differ? 7) Name the 3 major categories of protozoa. 8) Name the 3 major categories of algae. 9) Name the 2 major categories of fungus-like protista.
