KINGDOM: PROTISTA
2
Protists… Protists are either: plant-like, animal-like or fungus-like.
3
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic
nucleus All Protists are Eukaryotic!!!! They have a nucleus!!!
4
How protists eat… Plant-like protists are autotrophs – they contain chloroplasts and make their own food. Animal-like and fungus-like protists and are heterotrophs.
5
Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction…
Protists reproduce through both asexual and sexual reproduction. Euglena = asexual Paramecium = sexual
6
A) Euglena- PLANT-LIKE PROTIST
one celled alga that moves with one flagellum red eyespot near front end to find light…Why? have chlorophyll and can make their own food ( ) autotroph
7
Animal-like protists Amoeba one-celled Heterotroph Asexual reproduction
8
Animal-like Protists…Amoeba
live in water or moist places. They have a cell membrane Eukaryotic Heterotrophs Pseudopods for movement
9
Animal-like Protists…Paramecium
Move by cilia Heterotroph – eat other protists Sexual reproduction cilia
10
Autotroph / Heterotroph
ALGAE Plant-like and Animal-like Multicellular Autotroph Cell Wall Unicellular Autotroph Cell Wall Unicellular Autotroph / Heterotroph Cell Wall
11
Do we see protists everyday?
For good uses: Ice Cream Kelp Used to thicken foods For Bad Uses Red Tide – Bad!!!! Kills fish and other living things
12
Absorbed red dinoflagellates
Red Tide Kills Fish Absorbed red dinoflagellates After encountering and absorbing a red tide..a stingray becomes disoriented. They have the appearance of not being able to see or control what they are doing. Eventually the ray will stay at the surface lying horizontally and die.
