I. Traditional Protista Organization A. Fungi-like protists: Molds B. Animal-like protists: Protozoans a. Amoeboids b. Ciliates c. Flagellated Protozoans C. Plant-like Protists: Algae a. Dinoflaggelates b. Red Algae c. Brown Algae e. Green Algae

II. More Recent Organization A.Flagellated Protozoans (animal-like protists with flagella) 1. Human importance: Giardia, African Sleeping Sickness, Chargas Disease. 2. Example: Euglenoids, such as euglena. Single cell, free-living organism. About 30% are autotrophic. Contain contractile vacuole.

7
II. More Recent Organization 3. Variety in Euglena due to primary endosymbiosis (engulf bacteria).
8
II. More Recent Organization B.Alveolates: Broad group with small sacs under their plasma membrane. 1. Ciliates: Move with cilia (many small extensions). Example: Paramecium. Most are heterotrophs.

II. More Recent Organization B. Alveolates: Broad group with small sacs under their plasma membrane. 2. Dinoflagellates: ‘Algae’ and/or predators. a. Algae inside corals. b. Red tide algae (video clip).

II. More Recent Organization B. Alveolates: 3. Malaria: Caused by Plasmodium. Sporozite (liver), Merozoites (liver and blood), gametes (blood, passed to mosquitoes)
14
Fig. 23.14, p. 382 sporozites 3 Sporozites reproduce asexually in liver cells. merozoite 4 Progeny (merozoites) enter bloodstream, invade red blood cells, and reproduce asexually. They may do so many times over a prolonged period. Disease symptoms (fever, chills, shaking) become more and more severe. 5 Some merozoites return to liver and are basis for more episodes of malaria. 6 Other merozoites develop into male and female gametocytes, which are released into bloodstream. male gametocyte in red blood cell sporozoite 2 Mosquito bites a human, sporozoites enter bloodstream and reach liver. 1 In the gut of a female mosquito carrying the malarial parasite Plasmodium, zygotes of the parasite develop into sporozoites, which migrate to her salivary gland. 7 A biting female mosquito sucks blood from infected human. Gametocytes in the blood reach her gut, mature into gametes used in sexual reproduction. Gametes fuse to form zygotes.
15
II. More Recent Organization C. Stramenopiles 1. Some fungi-like organism: potato blights and water molds. 2. Diatoms: algae with silicate shells. 3. Other algae: Golden algae and coccolithophores. 4. Brown Algae: Include Kelp.
