1. Protists and Fungi

2. Kingdom Protista Plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like Heterotrophs or autotrophs Most unicellular, some multicellular

3. Plant-like protists: Algae Photosynthetic Basis of the marine food chain Make most of the oxygen in the atmosphere

4. Plant-like protists:

5. Alternation of generations- organism alternates between sexual (using eggs and sperm) and asexual (using spores) reproduction Sea lettuce

6. Plant-like protists: Move using flagella Have chlorophyll for photosynthesis euglena

7. Animal-like protists: Protozoans Move about using cilia, flagella, or false feet Many are decomposers

8. Animal-like protists: Sporozoans reproduce using spores Plasmodium – carried by mosquitoes – causes malaria

9. Fungus-like protists: Slime molds: Water molds and downy mildew:

10. Kingdom Fungi

11. What are the characteristics of fungi? Some unicellular, most multicellular Eukaryotes Cell walls made of chitin Body structure is made up of hyphae

12. Fungi are heterotrophs they can be: Parasites -Absorb nutrients from the living cells of a host Saprophytes - Decompose waste or dead organic material Mutualists -Live in symbiosis with another organism

13. Parasitic fungi: Bracket fungi Athlete’s foot

14. Saprophytic fungi: Mycena Shitake mushroom

15. Mutualistic fungi: vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza British soldier lichen Green shield lichen

16. Fungi Reproduction can be asexual: fragmentation budding spores

17. Fungi Reproduction can be sexual: Specialized hyphae from two individual fungi meet and form a new individual.
