3
Protists Kingdom Protista is the most diverse of all the kingdoms. What makes this kingdom so diverse?
4
Protists Protists can be animal-like, plantlike, or fungus-like. Protists are eukaryotes that are not animals, plants, or fungi.
5
Protists Are protists helpful in any way? Elaborate Sewage treatment. Diatoms used to filter water Food source –Seaweed (algae) Gelling agent –Jello Protozoan in the human gut keep in check the bacteria population
6
Protists Can protists be harmful? Parasites (disease) –Malaria caused by Plasmodium –African Sleeping Sickness –Gairdiasis –Brain Eating AmoebaBrain Eating Amoeba –Red TidesRed Tides
7
Protists Animal-like protists consume other organisms. –heterotrophs –single-celled
8
Protists Plantlike protists are photosynthetic. –single-celled, colonial, or multicellular –no roots, stems, or leaves
9
Protists Funguslike protists decompose dead organisms. –heterotrophs –can move, whereas fungi cannot
10
Protists Protists are difficult to classify. Protista is one kingdom in the domain Eukarya.
11
Protists Protist classification will likely change.
12
Protists II. Animal-like Protists Animal-like protists are single-celled heterotrophs that can move.
13
Protists Animal-like protists move in various ways. Animal-like protists are often called protozoa. macronucleus food vacuole oral groove micronucleus contractile vacuole cilia
14
Protists Some protozoa move with flagella
15
Protists Some protists move with pseudopods. – change shape as they move – amoebas, for example
16
Protists Amoeba Structure Virtual Lab
17
Protists Some protozoa move with cilia. macronucleus food vacuole oral groove micronucleus contractile vacuole cilia – cilia help protists swim and capture food
18
Protists Paramecia have contractile vacuoles to expel excess water. To avoid an obstacle, they back up, and move away in an avoidance reaction.
19
Protists Paramecium Virtual Lab
20
Protists Some animal-like protists cause disease. sporozoites human liver liver cells developed parasites red blood cells Malaria is caused by Plasmodium and spread by mosquitoes. Malaria Infection
21
Protists Trypanosoma causes African sleeping sickness
22
Protists Giardia is contracted from contaminated water Giardia is a microscopic parasite that causes the diarrheal illness known as giardiasis. Giardia is found on surfaces or in soil, food, or water that has been contaminated with feces (poop) from infected humans or animals.
23
Protists Protozoa can be beneficial One protozoan lives inside termites, digests wood. Both species benefit, so this is called mutualism. Trichonympha
24
Protists III. Plantlike Protists Algae are plantlike protists. Plantlike protists can be single-celled or multicellular. colony daughter colony Volvox
25
Protists Daughter colonies leaving the mother colony.
26
Protists A. Euglenoids are a large group of plantlike protists. pellicle nucleus chloroplast eye spot contractile vacuole flagellum – mostly photosynthetic, have one or two flagella
27
Protists Euglena Virtual Lab
28
Protists Euglena moves toward the light, which is known as a positive phototropism. Has a red eyespot, which is light sensitive
29
Protists B. Dinoflagellates are marine plantlike protists. Dinoflagellates –may be bioluminescent – can cause red tide
30
Protists Noctiluca scintillans
31
Protists C. Diatoms are plantlike protists with shells. – shells made of silica – produce large amounts of oxygen
32
Protists More diatoms
33
Protists Multicellular algae are classified by their pigments. – Green algae – Brown algae: kelp – Red algae
34
Protists Red algae is used to make agar, food thickener, and medicine capsules. Can exist at greater depths than brown or green algae
35
Protists Spirogyra : a type of green algae Green algae can be unicellular or multicellular
36
Protists IV. Fungus-like protists include slime molds and water molds decomposers, like fungi can move, like animals
37
Protists Slime molds Eukaryotic organisms: fungus-like and animal-like Decomposers, can move
38
Protists Water molds are freshwater, fungus-like protists. – one type of water mold caused Great Potato Famine of Ireland in the 1800’s – made of branching strands of cells – can be parasites of plants or fish
