Reproduction
Reproduce sexually and asexually.
Classified by the type of reproductive structure.

7. Lichen – an organisms that consists of both fungus and algae (important because this is 2 Kingdoms)

9. Importance of Fungi Food (baking, brewing, eating) Recycle nutrients
Medicines
Cause disease

10. Check for Understanding

11. Protists The world of Protists: Animal-like Protists
Plant-like Protists
Fungus-like Protists

12. Protist Diversity
200,000 species come in different shapes, sizes, and colors
All are eukaryotes – have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

13. Check for Understanding
8. What is the one characteristic that all protists have in common?

14. Protozoans – Animal-Like
Unicellular – made up of one cell
Heterotrophs – they eat other organisms or dead organic matter
Classified by how they move

15. Amoebas Flagellates Ciliates Sporazoans
Phyla of Protozoans
Amoebas
Flagellates
Ciliates
Sporazoans

16. Amoebas: the blobs No cell wall
Move using pseudopods – plasma extensions
Engulf bits of food by flowing around and over them

18. Flagellates: the motorboats
Use a whip-like extension called a flagella to move
Some cause diseases

19. Trichomonas vaginalis: an STD

20. Check for Understanding
9. How does an Amoeba move?
10. How does a Flagellate move?

21. Ciliates: the hairy ones
Move beating tiny hairs called cilia

23. Sporazoans: the parasite
Non-motile - Do not move
Live inside a host
One type causes malaria

24. Malaria in red blood cells

25. Check for Understanding
11. How does a Ciliate move?
12. How does a sporozoan move?

26. Algae: Plant-Like Protists
Multicellular – made of more than one cell
Photosynthetic – make their own food
No roots, stems, or leaves
Each has chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments

27. Euglenoids Diatoms Dinoflagellates Red, Brown, & Green Algae
Phyla of Algae
Euglenoids
Diatoms
Dinoflagellates
Red, Brown, & Green Algae

28. Euglenoids: The Survivors
Aquatic
Move around like animals
Can ingest food from surroundings when light is not available

30. Check for Understanding
13. Why is a Euglenoid called a survivor?
14. Why would this feature be beneficial?

31. Diatoms: The Golden Ones
Have shells made of silica (glass)
Photosynthetic pigment called carotenoids – give them a golden color

33. Dinoflagellates: The Spinning Ones
Spin around using two flagella
Responsible for Red Tides
Create toxins that can kill animals and sometimes people

35. Red Algae: The…uh…Red Ones (duh)
Seaweeds
Multicellular, marine organisms
Have red and blue pigments

37. Brown Algae: The Brown Ones (You think?)
They have air bladders to help them float at the surface – where the light is.

39. Green Algae: Yeah, You Guessed it, The Green Ones
Most live in fresh water
Can be unicellular or multicellular
Live alone or in groups called colonies

41. Check for Understanding
15. How many colors of algae did we just learn about?
16. Why are plant-like protists considerd to be Plant-like?

42. Fungus-like Protists

43. Characteristics in Common
All form delicate, netlike structures on the surface of their food source
Obtain energy by decomposing organic material

45. Check for Understanding
17. Why is a fungus like protist considered to be fungus-like?

46. Plankton
General term for tiny free-floating organisms that live in fresh and salt water.

47. Importance
Food source
Oxygen
producers
