Kingdom Protists
Before We Start…..
• Are protists unicellular or multicellular?
• Do protists have a nucleus?
Protist Reproduction
• Congjuation
• Asexually by mitosis
• Sexually using gametes
Classification of Protists
• Protists are classified by the way they
obtain food.
• 3 groups of Protists:
– Animal-like
– Plant-like
– Fungus-like
Animal Like Protists
•
•
•
•
Consume other organisms for food
Known as protozoan (“first animals”)
Move around to find food
Ex: Amoeba, Paramecium
Plant Like Protists
• Produce their own food using chlorophyll
and photosynthesis.
• Ex: Euglena, Algae
Fungus Like Protists
• Consume dead or decaying matter
• Called slime molds or water molds
Types of movement
• Flagella- whip like structure that propel a
cell to move
• Psuedopod- “false foot” projection of
the cytoplasm
• Cilia- hair like projection
Feeding Structures
• Contractile vacuolecavity used to collect water
and remove it from the cell.
• Food vacuole- cavity used
that temporality stores
food.
• Oral groove- used to take
in food.
Diseases
•
Malaria- carried by Plasmodium on a
mosquito.
1. An infected mosquito bites a human.
2. The mosquitoes saliva which has the
Protist, gets into the humans blood.
3. The Protist infects the human liver cells and
red blood cells, where it multiplies quickly.
4. This causes the RBC’s to burst and release
more protists.
