1
The Path of Life Where do we go from here? From Microbes to Humans
2
Follow The Tree of Life
3
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the make-up of the Protista Kingdom Explain the important evolutionary trends that occur in animal evolution Define the animal characteristics Describe the major groups of animals and provide their general characteristics
4
Where do the protists belong? Chapter 20 Unsettled group/No agreement on classification Any organism that is not a plant, animal or prokaryote Eukaryote Mostly single-celled
6
Zooflagellates Animal-like Swim with flagella Mostly live solitary
7
Sarcodines Animal-like Move with extensions of cytoplasm called pseudopods Ex: ameobas
8
Ciliates Use cilia to move and feed
9
Sporozoans Do not move on their own Parasites Ex: Cause malaria
10
Plant-like Protists Unicellular algae Different pigment types Variety of cell wall structures Cause red tides and algal blooms
11
Multicellular algae Plant-like structures Ex: Fucus & Kelp
12
Fungus-like protists Heterotrophs tht absorb nutrients Ex: Sime molds
13
What is an animal? Multicellular Eukaryotes Heterotrophs Lack cell walls Invertebrates (most) or vertebrate
15
Major Animal Evolution Trends: Cell specialization Organization Development of a coelom Body Symmetry Cephalization
16
What is a coelom?
17
What does symmetry mean?
18
What does cephalization mean?
19
Where do you belong? Tissues/Organization? Coelom/Body cavity? Symmetry? Cephalization? Invertebrate or vertebrate?
