In General Mostly aquatic life Usually unicellular Reproduction:
Eukaryotic Reproduction: Some asexual, some sexual, some both

Animal-Like Protista AKA: Protozoans
Heterotrophic: pathogens, parasites, predators Classified by how they move: Some move with flagella Some move with cilia Some move with pseudopods

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 pseudopod

Animal-Like Protista & Disease
Plasmodium injected by mosquito bite 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

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

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
30
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
31
