1. Kingdom Protista Biology

2. Characteristics of Kingdoms KingdomUni cellular Multi cellular Auto trophic Hetero trophic Cell wall No cell wall Eu karyotic Pro karyotic Interesting Fact Archaea bacteria xxxxx Tough!! Live in extreme conditions Eubacteria xxxxx Typical Bacteria. Cause illness and used for food, etc. Very common Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

3. What is a protist?

4. Algae

5. Volvox

6. Radiolarians

7. Euglena

8. Red tides caused by dinoflagellates

9. Protists can: Be Unicellular or Multicellular Be Microscopic or very large Be Heterotrophic or Autotrophic Reproduce Sexually or Asexually But… ***ALL ARE EUKARYOTIC*** Have a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles

10. “Junk Drawer” Kingdom Organisms that are eukaryotic but don’t fit well in other Kingdoms are placed here!

11. II. Three Groups of Protists A. Animal-like B. Plant-like C. Fungi-like

12. A. Animal-like Protozoa: Animal like protists Heterotrophic All unicellular

13. Animal Like Protists-4 types Shapeless protists Flagellates Ciliates Sporozoa

14. Shapeless protists Phylum Rhizopoda No cell wall Form Pseudopodia Pseudo = fake Pod = foot Extension used for feeding and moving

15. Flagellates Phylum Zoomastigina Have flagella: a whip like tail used for movement Can be parasites and cause diseases African sleeping sickness Can be helpful Termite guts

16. Ciliates Phylum Ciliophora Have Cilia: small hair like projections used for movement and feeding

17. Sporozoans Phylum Sporozoa Most produce spores All are parasites Malaria

18. B. Plant-like Protists… Algae: Plant like protists Uni or multicellular Autotrophic (photosynthetic) No roots, stems, leaves

19. Algae: Plant like protists Typically water-related Same function as terrestrial plants 1/3 of oxygen production Base of aquatic food webs

20. Phytoplankton Typically found near surface of water Diatoms Shells of silica Major part of Mississippi River Food Chain Used in toothpaste, cat litter, etc.

21. Cont. Dinoflagellates “Red Tides” Produce toxins that are poisonous to vertebrates Phytophthora infestans

22. Green, Brown, Red Algae Brown and Red often called “seaweed” Green algae “pond scum” Kelp-brown Porphyra-red Spirogyra-green

23. C. Fungi-like Protists Fungus like protists Decomposers Can move at some time in their life No chitin in cell wall

24. Slime Molds Appear much like fungus Potato Famine-1840’s Phytophthora infestans. –1 million dead, 1 million left
