What have we studied so far?
Bacteria Archaea Eukarya Eubacteria Archaebacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia Domains & Kingdoms
2
Kingdom Protista... ... Most are single celled, and have a nucleus (eukaryotic). Many consumers, but a few are producers.
3
Guiding Question Area of Interaction
How is the world we live in impacted by things that you can’t see? Area of Interaction Health and Social
4
Groups of Protists Protists are Grouped by what they act like. They can be Animal Like Plant Like Fungus Like
5
Animal-like Protists(protozoans) are classified by how they move:
Zooflagellates- move using a whip-like tail called a flagellum.
7
Ciliates- Move by little hairs called cilia.
10
Sarcodines- Move by oozing and flowing false feet called pseudopodia.
Amoeba – performing phagocytosis (engulfing food)
12
Sporozoans- do not move but instead are parasites and move via their host.
14
Protozoan Diseases Malaria African sleeping sickness Amoebic dysentery
Caused by sporozoan. Severe flu-like symptoms to coma and death, carried by the mosquito African sleeping sickness Caused by flagellate. Carried by tsetse fly. Headaches, seizures, death if untreated. Amoebic dysentery Caused by sarcodine. Fever, stomach cramping. dehydration
15
Plantlike protists (Algae)
Unicellular algae and multicellular algae Autotrophs 7 phyla or groups
16
Euglenophyta Two flagella, no cell wall, chloroplasts
Eyespot for sensing light Ex: euglena
17
Euglenophytes!
18
Chrysophytes Gold colored chloroplasts
Store food in form of oil, not starch
19
Chrysophytes
20
Bacillariophyta Diatoms Thin cell walls rich in silicon
21
Bacillariophytes
22
Pyrrophyta Dinoflagellates Two flagella Bioluminescence (They glow!)
Red Tide: seasonal bloom of Karenia brevis. Toxic to fish.
23
Pyrrophytes
26
Multicellular plant-like
Classified by photosynthetic pigments (different chlorophylls) Look like plants Produce half of the world’s oxygen through photosynthesis
27
Red algae Live at great ocean depths due to chlorophyll a and phycobilins. Help in the formation of coral reefs
28
Red algae
29
Brown algae Chlorophyll a and c Common seaweed, kelp
Stipe-stem, blades- leaf, bladders-floatation
30
Brown algae
31
Giant Kelp Forests
32
Green algae Chlorophyll a and b Fresh and salt water
Unicellular, colonial, or multicellular
33
Green algae
34
Human Uses of Algae Food: sushi, ice cream, salad dressing, pudding, candy bars, syrup, egg nog Medications, Cosmetics Industrial uses: plastics, waxes, paints, lubricants
35
Algae & the Global Environment
Phytoplankton(algae) are the basis for most ocean food chains Algae produce ½ of the world’s oxygen.
36
Deep Thoughts What would fish eat without protists?
How would the global environment change without protists?
37
Fungus-like Protists Slime molds and water molds
