2. What are protists? Very diverse group of organisms containing over 200,000 species Most are unicellular

3. All protists are Eukaryotes. –What does this mean? Contains nucleus And membrane bound organelles –Any eukaryote that doesn’t fit as a plant, animal, or fungus is characterized as a Protist.

4. How are protists classified? According to the way they obtain nutrition: –Autotrophs (plant-like) –Heterotrophs (animal-like) –Decomposers and parasitic heterotrophs (fungus-like)

5. Animal like protists (protozoans) are distinguished from each other by the way they…

6. Protozoa Means “first animals” All unicellular Classified by movement-type

7. Types of movements: 1.Zooflagellates (use flagella) - Draw a picture under the box in your notes Giardia lamblia

8. 2. Sarcodine ( Use pseudopods -extension of cytoplasm ) - Draw a picture under the box in your notes Types of movements:

9. 3. Ciliates (use cilia) - Draw a picture under the box in your notes

10. Animallike Protists: 4. Sporozoans- Do not move on their own –Parasitic to animals –Ex. Malaria is caused by the sporozoan Plasmodium.

11. Practice! Turn to your neighbor and quiz one another on the four categories of animallike protists and how they move.

12. Locomotion is generally a characteristic of animals. However, some chlorophyll- containing protists move about by means of flagella. How does this adaptation allow these photosynthetic organisms to have a higher fitness for some environments?

13. Protists that contain chlorophyll and other pigments to do photosynthesis are grouped into a category called: Commonly called…

14. Multicellular Algae Include seaweeds and kelp used in foods such as sushi, ice cream, salad dressing, candy, etc.

15. Red Algae Characteristics: contain green and red pigments Role/Function: –Deeper sea, great at harvesting light –Help form coral reefs –Some used in foods and to make agar

17. Brown algae Characteristics: contain green and brown pigments Role/Function: –Form large habitats in aquatic ecosystems –Used some in food

18. Green algae Characteristics: –Green pigments Role/Function: some form symbiotic relationships with other organisms Spirogyra- multicellular Volvox- colonial Ulva- multicellular

19. Lets identify some multicellular algae! Talk among your groups quickly with each picture to decide the types you see and why.

23. Unicellular plantlike protists are: Euglenophytes Chrysophytes Diatoms Dinoflagellates

24. Plantlike protist that have two flagella, no cell wall and contain chloroplasts

25. Do you see the eyespot? What do you think is its purpose?

27. Among the most abundant and beautiful organisms. Cell walls made of silica.

28. Half their life is photosynthetic; the other half is heterotrophic Causes the RED TIDE

31. Heterotrophs that absorb nutrients from dead or decaying organic matter they secrete digestive enzymes and then suck up the nutrients

32. Fungus-like protist include: 1.Slime molds- grown on the forest floor How do these slime molds get nutrients?

33. -Thrive on dead or decaying organic matter in water (ever seen dead fuzzy fish?) -Plant parasites on land 2. Water molds

34. How would you classify this protist? This protist uses its flagella for movement, but is able to produce its own food. It does this because it contains green-colored chloroplasts which is uses to carry out photosynthesis.

35. Ticket Out the Door What characteristics do these organisms have that place them in the Kingdom Protista?
