Kingdom Protista
Eukaryotic
Unicellular or Multicellular
Heterotrophic or Autotrophic or Both
Some have Cell Walls
Kingdom Protista
Very difficult to classify
 Scientists disagree

I call it the garbage can kingdom.

Animal like – internal digestion, heterotrophs
Plant like – Photosynthesis, autotrophs
Fungus like – external digestion, heterotrophs,
decomposers
Phytoplankton
Photosynthetic organisms that live
near the surface of the ocean.
 Primary producers of oceans.

Zooplankton
Heterotroph organisms that eat the
phytoplankton.
 Primary consumers of oceans.

Infections
Malaria - Plasmodium

Mosquito vector.

Plasmodium
It migrates to the liver
cells
 Reproduces and pops
cells
 Then it infects the red
blood cells
 Causes high fever and
death

African Sleeping
Sickness

Trypanosoma

Chills, rashes,
then a deep and
fatal sleep
Amebic Dysentery

Entamoeba
Found in
contaminated
drinking water.
 Causes intestinal
bleeding and severe
diarrhea.

Giardia

Giardia
Found in

What are fungi?
Mat of hyphea cells under
the soil - Mycelium
Cell walls made of chitin
Heterotrophs that absorb
nutrients from dead and
decaying organisms by
secreting digestive
enzymes on their food and
then sucking it back up.
Recyclers of the
ecosystem.
Kingdom Fungi
Mycelium is
made of
hyphea.
 Hyphea
are thread
like cells
that reach
out and
absorb
food.

Kingdom Fungi

Reproduction
 Fungi
make a fruiting body
that release spores.
 Fruiting bodies can come
from sexual or asexual
reproduction.
Reproduction
When conditions are good they reproduce
asexually. (the genes must be good)
 When conditions are bad they reproduce
sexually. (the genes need to be mixed to
give the species a fresh start)


Lichens – fungi that
form a symbiotic
relationship with
photosynthetic algae.
Kingdom Fungi
Mycorrhizae – fungus
form a symbiotic
relationship with plants.
 The fungus helps feed
the plant nutrients and
water.
 The plant feeds the
fungi sugar from
photosynthesis.

Never eat wild mushrooms.
Some are deadly poisonous.

Parasitic Fungi

Cordyceps Fungi
Dandruff
Caused by yeast in the scalp.
 Causes flaky skin on the scalp.
 Dandruff shampoo.

Athlete’s Foot

Causes dry, itchy, skin that cracks and
burns.
Toenail Fungus
It gets under the nail.
 Causes large yellow nails.

Ringworm

Fungus gets in
the skin and
feeds off of the
proteins in the
skin.
