2
Eukaryotes, not members of the kingdoms Plantae, Animalia, or Fungi Most unicellular but not all Protista= very first
3
Symbiosis of several cells Mitochondria/chloroplasts live inside larger cells
4
Animal-like protists-obtain food like heterotrophs Plant-like protists- obtain food like autotrophs Fungus-like protists- decomposers or parasites
5
Zooflagellates Movement: use flagellum to move Food: Absorb food through cell membrane Reproduction: asexually/sexually
6
Movement: pseudopods Amoeboid movement- cytoplasm streams into pseudopod Food: pseudopods capture take into food vacuole Reproduce: Mitosis/Cytokinesis
7
Foraminiferans- Sarcodine Secretes calcium carbonate
8
Movement: cilia propel Food: Cilia move food into gullet, force food into food vacuole Waste material emptied when food vacuole fuses with anal pore Contractile vacuoles- cavities specialized to collect water Ciliates= Paramecium
9
Trichocysts- small bottle shaped structures used for defense Danger= stiff projections that protect cell Two nuclei › Macronucleus- keeps genes for day to day use › Micronucleus- contains reserve copy of cells genes
10
Reproduction: asexually mitosis/cytokinesis Conjugation- exchange genetic material
11
Movement: not on their own/ parasitic Reproduction: sporozoites Diseases: malaria
12
Algae 7 major phylums › 4- unicellular › 3- multicellular Use photosynthesis- › Chlorophyll a › Chlorophyll b › Chlorophyll c › Accessory pigments › Allow use of different light wavelengths
14
Movement: Two flagellum Pellicle- cell membrane Food: Eye spot- cluster of reddish pigment for photosynthesis Can live as heterotrophs-absorb food Reproduce: Asexually- binary fission
16
Yellow/green algae and gold/brown algae Have gold colored chloroplasts
17
Produce thin, delicate call walls rich in silicon (component of glass) Cell walls – different patterns like etched glass
18
½ photosynthetic ½ heterotrophic 2 flagellum Luminescent- shimmer when agitated
19
Make up the base of aquatic food chains Phytoplankton- ½ of photosynthesis on earth
20
Protists release dangerous toxins Shell fish eat the protists = trap toxin Human eating shell fish become very sick › Paralysis › death
21
1. Red algae- coral reefs 2. Brown algae- Kelp 3. Green algae › Unicellular › Colonial (volvox) › Multicellular (ulva)
22
Spirogyra- Green colonial algae › Live in water › Multicellular › Spiral shaped chloroplasts
23
Heterotrophs/decomposers Slime molds or water molds Water molds responsible for the Irish Great Potato Famine
