1. Kingdom Protista

2. KINGDOM PROTISTA
Protists are eukaryotes that are not fungi, plants, or animals; most are unicellular; found in or near water
Examples of Protists:
amoeba – use pseudopodia to move
paramecium – use cilia to move
euglena – use flagella to move
algae – are photosynthetic (ex: green, red, brown algae)
diatoms - are photosynthetic with double shells made of silica
slime and water molds (fungus-like)
sporozoans – form spores (ex: malaria, toxoplasmosis)

3. Classification of Protists
How they obtain energy How they move
Animal Like

water mold

4. Different Kinds Of Protists
Amoeba
Paramecium
Euglena
Sporozoans (Malaria)
Slime & Water Mold
Diatoms
Algae

5. AMOEBA Pseudopod – flexible cytoplasmic extensions; “false foot”
Cyst – a hard-walled body that can exist for a long period of time until conditions become favorable
Contractile Vacuole – removes excess water

6. Method of Reproduction – binary fission
Endocytosis– method of food intake creating food vacuoles
Amoebic Dysentery –
diarrhea and stomach
upset caused by
drinking contaminated
water

7. Euglena
Flagella – a long whip-like structure that acts like a little motor for movement
Eyespot – area that detects light
Contractile Vacuole – removes excess
water

8. Pellicle – stiff but flexible covering that gives the organism its shape
Autotrophic – have chloroplast to can undergo photosynthesis
Heterotrophic– absorbs food across their cell membrane

9. Paramecium Cilia – tiny hair-like projections
Pellicle – a thick outer membrane
Trichocysts – thread like organelles used as defense mechanisms
Contractile Vacuole – removes excess water

10. Micronucleus – controls reproduction; asexually (binary fission) or sexually (conjugation)
Macronucleus – controls everything but reproduction
Avoidance Behavior – moving away from an unpleasant stimulus

11. KINGDOM FUNGI Characteristics: eukaryotes
multicellular, except for yeast (unicellular)
cell walls are made of chitin
“absorptive” heterotrophs, they do not ingest their food, they secrete digestive enzymes then absorb the nutrients (extracellular digestion)
ex: saprophytes – live off dead organisms
parasites – live off living organisms

12. Why are fungi not classified as plants?
They are heterotrophs, not autotrophs.
They have no chloroplast/chlorophyll.
They have no true roots, stems, and leaves.

13. Types of Fungi:
Club Fungi (Basidiomycetes) –mushrooms; forms spores in a structure called basidium
Sac Fungi (Ascomycetes) – truffles, mildew; forms spores in a sac called asci; also includes yeast
Thread-like Fungi (Zygomycetes)-bread mold; spores found in sporangium
Imperfect Fungi ( Deuteromycota)
includes Althete’s foot, ringworm, thrush

14. Internal Structure of Fungi
The bodies of fungi consist of hyphae (long slender strands of cells). A branching network of hyphae is called mycelium.

15. Symbiotic Relationships
Lichens – symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi
Mycorrhizae – symbiotic fungi that inhabit the roots of plants and help supply them with nutrients

16. Types of Fungi Zygomycetes (Thread-like Fungi) Mushrooms
Basidiomycetes
(Club Fungi)
Bread Mold
Yeast
Ascomycetes (Sac Fungi)
