Ch 20-PROTISTA
2
Defined more by differences than similarities
The Kingdom Protista Defined more by differences than similarities Not actual plants ,animals or fungi Many _________________________- and all eukaryotes So diverse that many biologists suggest they should be composed of several kingdoms UNICELLULAR
3
Classification based on :
1)________________________________-heterotrophs,autotrophs,decomposers and parasites 2)Some classified by how they move nutrition
4
II. Animallike protists:___________________________________
protozoans 4 Phylla: distinquished by modes of movement ___________________use whiplike flagella;many are aquatic;many absorb food through cell membranes;many reproduce asexually and some sexually by meiosis Sarcodines use _________________for movement and feeding:example-amoebas-move by extensions of psuedopods:have food vacuoles;_______________secrete calcium carbonate shells Zooflagellates Foraminiferans pseudopods
7
_____________do not move;many parasites,reproduce by ________
cilia Paramecium Ciliophora move by hairlike __________________;best known are of genus ____________-has micronucleus and macronucleus,gullet or oral groove,anal groove,contractile vacuole to balance water content,reproduce asexually and sexually by conjugation _____________do not move;many parasites,reproduce by ________ spores sporozoans
9
Diseases from protists
****-_____________________-caused by Plasmodium and Anopheles mosquito,many forms resistant to drugs malaria
10
***Other Protistan diseases_Trypanosoma
Carried by ______fly tsetse
11
****Amebic dysentery
12
Giardia
13
NONPARASITIC__Trichonympha-mutualism
Digests wood for termite!!!!
14
III.Plantlike Protists
-Unicellular algae Contain chlorophyll and undergo photosynthesis ***_____________________-plantlike,have 2 flagella and no cell wall Euglenophytes
16
_________________________________-yellow-green algae and golden brown algae
_______________________-thin ,delicate CELL WALLS OF SLICA-GLASSLIKE DINOFLAGELLATES-half are photosynthetic and half are heterotrophic,some luminescent diatoms Crysophyta
17
PHYTOPLANKTON-near surface of ocean and food source
Algal blooms that are massive depletion of nutrients and many cells die-an indicator of pollution
18
IV .Plantlike protists-red,brown and green algae
Red algae-__________________-uses chloroplyll a and accessory pigments and can live at great depths;most multicellular and play role in coral reef Brown algae________________________-have chlorophyll a and c and an accessory pigment:largest and most complex of algae-kelp can grow 60 m in length Phaeophyta Rhodophyta
20
Green algae-_______________________-have chlorophyll a and b;unicellular,colonial,and multicellular
Chlorophyta
21
HUMAN USES OF ALGAE- -animal and human food source
-used in medications -ice cream -used in making plastics,waxes,deodorants,paints,transitors ,lubricants,agar,toothpaste
22
V.Funguslike protists Have centrioles and LACK chitin cell walls of regular fungus kingdom Heterotrophs as decomposers SLIME MOLDS-on forest floor-spore forming WATER MOLDS-hyphae and spores-connected to great “Potato Famine”
23
Slime molds
24
Water mold
