Transcript Kingdom Protista
Eukaryotes
Mostly Unicellular Organism
Evolved from the symbiosis of several cells of
Archaebacteria
Heterotrophs
Animal – like Protozoa (classified by locomotion)
Fungus – like Protist (absorb nutrients from
dead/decaying organisms)
Autotrophs
Plant – like Protist (unicellular and plant like protist)
Phylum Sarcodina
Free living- Fresh or brackish water, bottom dwellers
Parasitic
Pseudopod: temporary cytoplasmic projection
Food vacuoles, some have shells
Use pseudopods to take in food by phagocytosis
Use psedopods for movement and feeding (phagocytosis)
Example: Amoebas, Foraminiferan, Heliozoan
Phylum Ciliophora (Ciliates)
Free living- Fresh and salt water
Have two nuclei: Micronucleus and Macronucleus
Contractile vacuoles, gullet, cilia
Use cilia to sweep food particles into the gullet
Use cilia for movement (short hair like-projections)
Example: Paramecium
Phylum Zoomastiginia
Free living – lakes or streams
Symbiotic relationship with host
One or 2 flagella to swim
Feed by absorbing nutrient
One or 2 flagella to swim
Example: Trypanosoma
Causes sleeping sickness spread by tsetse fly
Giardia
Phylum Sporozoa
Habitat – host organism
Sporozoites
Live off the host. Infects and destroys RBC
No locomotion
All parasites with complex life cycles
Example: Plasmodium (causes malaria)

What uses do humans have for genetically engineered
bacteria?
What ways do we keep bacteria from growing on our
food?
How do we differentiate between animal-like protist?
Unicellular Algae
Photosynthesis using chlorophyll and other pigments
(absorb different light wavelengths)
The base of the food chain in oceanic life
Euglenophyta
Special Structures
two flagella
Eyespot
pellicle (cell membrane)
no cell wall
Chloroplast
Contractile Vacuoles
Example
Euglena
Chrysophyta
Special Structures
Pectin – carbohydrate in cell wall
Some have cellulose
Examples
golden algae – gold color
Yellow-green algae
Bacillariophyta
Special Structures
silicon dioxide cell walls
Intricate designs
Examples
diatoms
Pyrrophyta
Special Structures
2 Flagella – wrap around the organism
Bioluminescence – chemical light
Examples
dinoflagellates
Phytoplankton
Small photosynthetic organisms close to the surface
Carry out half the photosynthesis in the world
(Important source of oxygen for the atmosphere)
Base of aquatic food chains
Algal Blooms
Rapidly growing algal populations in response to sewage
(nitrogen) and other organic materials
Blooms remove nutrients from water, this causes death
of other organisms
RED TIDE: and algal bloom that causes shell fish
poisoning. !!!!!!
Satellite Photo Barents Sea
Multicellular Plant – like Protist
Red algae – grow the deepest due to certain pigments
Phycobilins- red pigments
Brown Algae – largest and most complex algae
Chlorophyll A & C
Fucoxanthin – brown accesory pigment
Example: Kelp and Sargassum weed –
have blades (leaf like),
stipes (stem – like),
bladders (gas filled for floating)
hold fast (root – like)
Green Algae
Have cellulose in cell walls; considered plant-like; store food
as starch
Chlorophyll A & B
Example: Sea Lettuce

Base of food chain in the ocean (make for diversity in ocean)
Production of Earth’s oxygen
Source of Vitamin C and Iron
Chemicals used to treat stomach ulcers, high blood
pressure and arthritis
Food and food additives – thickeners and
texturerizers of ice cream, salad dressings, and candy
Used to make plastics, waxes, and transistors
Agar- used in labs to thicken nutrient, to grow
bacteria
Fungus-like protists
• include slime molds and water molds
• decomposers, like fungi
• can move, like animals
Slime molds
Eukaryotic organisms: fungus-like and animal-like
Decomposers, can move
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
