1 Protists and Fungi By: Mr. Hunter

2 Protists

3 What do all protozoa have in common?  Eukaryotic  Range from single to multi-cellular  Highly diverse  Do not have specialized tissues for functions

4 What do all protists have in common?  Use many methods of getting food (some even use photosynthesis; some are heterotrophs; some are parasites)  Reproduce sexually (conjugation) and asexually (binary fission)

5 Sexual Reproduction of Paramecium

6 Classification of Protists  Heterotrophs that can move  Heterotrophs that cannot move  Producers

7 Protist Producers- Algae  Algae make food through photosynthesis.  Examples: seaweed, phytoplankton

8 Seaweed & Phytoplankton

9 Type of Algae SizeLocationHow does the algae get its food?

10 Describe  Diatoms  Dinoflagellates  Euglenoids

11 Heterotrophs that can move  Amoeba  Zooflagellates  Ciliates

12 Amoeba

13 Amoebic Dysentery  Amoebiasis is an infectious disease caused by a one-celled parasite called Entamoeba histolytica, which causes both intestinal and extraintestinal infections. Two species of Entamoeba are morphologically indistinguishable: Entamoeba histolytica is pathogenic and Entamoeba dispar harmlessly colonizes the colon. Amoebas adhere to and kill the cells of the colon and cause dysentery with blood and mucus in the stool. Amoebas also secrete substances called proteases that degrade lining of the colon and permit invasion into the bowel wall and beyond. Amoebas can spread via the circulation to the liver and cause liver abscesses. The infection may spread further by direct extension from the liver or through the bloodstream to the lungs, brain, and other organs.

14 Mild early symptoms Weight loss Anaemia Indigestion Intermittent diarrhoea with foul-smellingstool that may be preceded by constipation. Dehydration Blood and mucus in the stool. Gas and Abdominal Bloating Abdominal cramps and tenderness Fever Fatigue Chills

15 Zooflagellates  Giardia Lamblia  Termite Gut (Mutualism)

16 Heterotrophs that CAN’T move  Spore-forming protists  Complicated life cycles that involve two or more hosts  Ex. Malaria

17 Malaria  500 million people contract malaria each year and 2.7 million people die from it each year.  Infection with malaria parasites may result in a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from absent or very mild symptoms to severe disease and even death.

18 The classical (but rarely observed) malaria attack lasts 6-10 hours. It consists of:  a cold stage (sensation of cold, shivering)  a hot stage (fever, headaches, vomiting; seizures in young children)  and finally a sweating stage (sweats, return to normal temperature, tiredness)

19 Symptoms  Fever  Chills  Sweats  Headaches  Nausea and vomiting  Body aches  General malaise.

20 Water Molds  Water molds live in water, soil or other organisms  Decomposers and parasites

21

22 Slime molds  Only move at certain times during their life cycles  Use pseudopodia to move and to eat bacteria and yeast  Spores- reproductive cells covered by a thick wall

23 Slime Mold In An Aquarium

24 Slime Mold

25  Heterotroph Spore-forming protists  Parasite Water molds  Host Slime molds  Red Algae  Green Algae  Brown Algae  Phytoplankton  Diatoms  Dinoflagellates  Euglenoids  Amoebas  Psuedopodia  Zooflagellates  Ciliates

26 The World Without Fungi  No leavened bread  No penicillin  No blue cheese  No mushrooms  Collections of dead organic matter  No soy sauce  No beer  No athlete’s feet

27 What are characteristics of fungi?  Eukaryotic  Heterotrophs  Rigid cell walls  Diverse shapes, methods of obtaining food  Various modes of reproduction

28

29 Hyphae  Long, nonreproductive filaments

30 Mycelium  The mass of fungal filaments, or hyphae, that forms the body of a fungus

31 Asexual Reproduction in Fungus  Hyphae break apart and each new piece becomes a fungus  Spore formation Spores are small reproductive cells that are protected by a thick cell wall that grow into a new fungus.

32 Sexual Reproduction in Fungi  Special structures form to make sex cells that join to produce sexual spores that grow into a new fungus.

33 ShapeSex. Or Asex.? Descri ption Detail s Drawi ng Threa dlike Sac Club Imperf ect

34 Threadlike  Fuzzy (mold)  Asexually: sporangia break open and release spores into the air  Sexually: hyphae join up  Details: parasites, live in the soil, decomposers

35 Threadlike Fungi  The mold of the genus Pilobolus grows on animal manure.  This mold produces little sacs of spores on top of stalked structures that swell, and sacs are shot up 8 meters into the air!!!

36 Threadlike fungi  Their spores adhere to grass and leaves.  Animals eat the leaves, the spores pass through their digestive tracts, and end up in dung where the spores germinate.

37

38 Bread Box Nightmares  White bread  Wheat bread  20 drops of water  20 drops of sugar water  20 drops of lemon juice

39 Match up the words correctly and use each pair in an accurate sentence.  Threadlike fungi  Sac fungi  Club fungi  Ascus  Gills  Sporangia

40 Intriguing Fungi  Mushrooms consist mostly of water.  Shiitake mushrooms were thought to promote good health by the people of ancient China.  They were correct since these mushrooms are rich in Fe, P, Ca and protein.

41 Shiitake Mushrooms

42 World’s Largest Fungus?  A fungus that covered an area of 4 square kilometers and weighed nearly 1,000 tons that is 1,000 years old was found in Seattle, Washington!

43 Saccharomyces cerevisiae

44  Bread, beer, wine  Genetic manipulation  Molecular and cellular biology experiments

45 Fungi  Fungi are the major cause of plant diseases.  At least 5,000 kinds of fungi attack crops, garden plants, and wild plants.  Ringworm

46 Ringworm

47 Lichens  Lichen: a combination of a fungus and an alga that grow together in a mutualistic relationship  How is this relationship mutualistic?  How are lichens important?
