1. Part 3: Protists

2. Kingdom Traits All are eukaryotic All are unicellular –(with exception of the algae) Most diverse kingdom! –Very few traits that all protists share…some are animal-like, some plant-like, some fungus-like –Has actually been sub-divided into more than one kingdom…but we will keep it as one

3. Types (based on how get food) Animal-like –Heterotrophic, motile –Ex: amoeba, paramecium

4. Types (based on how get food) Plant-like –Autotrophic –Some unicellular, some multicellular –Ex: Euglena, algae

5. Types (based on how get food) Fungus-like –Heterotrophic, nonmotile –Unicellular, but join in blobs –Ex: slime molds, water molds

6. Harmful Effects of Protists Disease –Malaria Protist carried by mosquitoes

7. Helpful Aspects of Protists Oxygen to atmosphere –Green algae do photosynthesis Food source in oceans –Plankton are base of aquatic food chains
