1. Kingdom Protista

2. Kingdom Protista Very diverse group of organisms Hard to classify
Some are heterotrophs
Some are autotrophs
Most unicellular, some multicellular
ALL are EUKARYOTES
Have a nucleus
Have membrane bound organelles

3. Kingdom Protista There are three main groups: Animal-like ( Protozoa)
Plant-like ( Algae)
Fungus-like

4. Animal-like Protists Unicellular heterotrophs
Are classified by the way they move
Sarcodines ( rhizopods)
Ciliates
Zooflagellates
Sporozoans

5. Zooflagellates
Move with flagella—whiplike structures

6. Zooflagellates 1, 2, or many flagella Absorb food or can be parasites
Reproduce asexually by binary fission

7. Zooflagellates Trypanosoma *causes African sleeping sickness
* carried by the tsetse fly

8. Zooflagellates
Trychonympha( mutualistic) and lives in the guts of termites and helps them digest wood

9. Sarcodines Move with pseudopodia
Pseudopodia means “ false feet” and are extensions of the cytoplasm
Movement is called amoeboid movement
Can also be used in phagocytosis( getting food)
Reproduce by binary fission

10. Sarcodines
Amoeba
Radiolarians
Heliozoans

11. Ciliates Move by cilia—tiny hairlike projections off the cell membrane
Cilia can also be used for feeding
Can be found in fresh and salt water
Can have two nuclei
Contractile vacuole—help pump extra water out—remember osmotic balance???

12. Ciliates
Paramecium

13. Ciliates
Stentor

14. Sporozoans Not able to move( no movement ) Are parasitic
Reproduce by producing spores
spores are haploid reproductive cells

15. Sporozoans Plasmodium Transmitted by mosquitoes
Causes the disease Malaria

16. Plant-like Protists Also called Algae
Classified by color and structure
Are autotrophs
Most unicellular, some multicellular

17. Euglenophyta Common name: euglenoids Pigments: chlorophyll ( green )
Unicellular
Have eyespot and pellicle
Autotroph most of the time, can be a heterotroph
Moves with a flagella

18. Euglena

19. Pyrrophyta Common name—dinoflagellates “Fire Algae” Unicellular
Can live in fresh and marine water
Are bioluminescent
Some cause algal blooms and “red tide”

20. Pyrrophyta Gymnodinium can cause red tide
The algae release toxins that poison and kill fish and shell fish and is a problem for the enviroment.

21. Chrysophyta Common name— “golden algae”
Pigments—yellow-green to golden brown
Unicellular
Cell walls made of pectin
Asterionella

22. Bacillariophyta Common name—Diatoms Unicellular
Cells walls made of silica—can be used to make toothpaste and cosmetics
Two cell walls fit together ( like a petri dish)

23. Rhodophyta Common name— “red algae”
Pigments—phycobilins, chlorophyll a
Multicellular
Used to make agar—used in ice creams and puddings as a thickener

24. Rhodophyta
Coralline Algae
Irish Moss

25. Phaeophyta Common name— “ brown algae”
Pigments—fucoxanthin, chlorophyll a & c
Multicellular
Largest and most complex of all algae
Uses—iodine, food, and algin ( in some food products )

26. Phaeophyta
Fucus
Lamanaria

27. Phaeophyta
Rockweed
Sargassum

28. Chlorophyta Common name— “ green algae” Pigments—chlorophyll a & b
Multicellular
Has cellulose in cell walls
Can live in fresh or salt water
Believed to be the ancestors of the Plant Kingdom

29. Chlorophyta
Volvox
Ulva( sea lettuce)
Spirogyra
Chlamydomonas

30. Fungus-like Protists Heterotrophic Decomposers Two types: Slime Molds
Water and Downy Molds
