3
Unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes Might live in a colony or groups Some are photosynthetic, others ingest food while others absorb their food. Some move (flagella, cilia, pseudopods) other are stationary. Reproduce sexually and asexually Main Characteristics
4
Alteration of Generations Two distinct phases –Diploid, spore- producing phase (asexual) –Haploid, gamete producing phase (sexual)
5
A. Protists lacking Mitochondria Ex. Giardia, trichomonas
6
Euglena B. Protists with Flagella
7
Spongomonas is a colony of flagellates living in a gelatinous matrix. they use their flagella to gather food.
8
Protists with Flagella (con’t) Trypanosoma – African Sleeping Sickness Tsetse fly vector
9

10
Protists with Cilia Plasmodium – malaria Anopheles mosquito vector

12
D. Golden and Brown Algae The term 'algae' is used for some lower plants and many, often unrelated groups of microorganisms that are able to perform photosynthesis. Kelp
13
E. Red Algae No flagella
14
F. Green Algae

Chlamydomonas unicellular green alga swims with two flagella, and has chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Chlamydomonas has nothing to do with Chlamydia, by the way.
