Presentation transcript:

The Protist Kingdom The Protist Kingdom is one of the most diverse groups and includes organisms that have characteristics similar to but are not classified as plants, animals, or fungi. These microorganisms live in moist environments and vary in how they obtain energy and move. The Fungi Kingdom consists of organisms that do not make their own food (heterotrophs) but obtain their nutrition through external absorption. Fungi can be grouped by their growth habit or fruiting structure and respond to changes in the environmental stimuli similar to plants.

Protists  Protists are organisms that are classified into the Kingdom Protista. Although there is a lot of variety within the protists, they do share some common characteristics.  ● Protists are usually single celled organisms.  ● Live in moist environments.  ● Vary in the ways they move and obtain energy.

Protists obtain their energy in several ways.  Animal-like protists ingest or absorb food after capturing or trapping it.  ● Plant-like protists produce food through photosynthesis.  ● Fungus-like protists obtain their food by external digestion either as decomposers or as parasites.  ● Some protists have both autotrophic and heterotrophic characteristics.

Protists have three main ways to move (locomotion).  Flagellum (flagella) - a long whip-like tail used to move and/or catch food. An example of a flagellated protist is the Euglena.  ● Cilia - small hair-like projections on the surface (cell membrane) of the cell used to sweep food into mouth-like structures and/or beat them in rhythm to move. An example of a ciliated protist is a paramecium.  ● Pseudopod – (false foot) a finger-like projection of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used to catch food and/or movement. An example of a protist with pseudopod is the amoeba.

Fungi  Fungi are classified into the Kingdom Fungi. This includes microorganisms such as yeast and molds as well as multicellular organisms such as mushrooms.  There are three main ways Fungi obtain energy  ● Saprophytic - Fungi that get their energy from decaying organic matter.  ● Parasitic - Fungi that feed on other living organisms (host) and harm the host.  ● Symbiotic - Fungi that feed on other living organisms (host) but do not harm the host. In many cases the host benefits from the fungi.  In most cases, fungi are not mobile organisms.  Fungi can be categorized based on their fruiting structures (structures for reproduction and spore dispersal).

Extended Knowledge  There are many other examples of protists that use the various methods mentioned above to move or obtain energy. Euglena, paramecium, and amoeba are only a small sample.  In order to observe the movement and structure of protists, students could be introduced to basic microscopy and observe the organisms first-hand.  Other cells outside of Protista that have flagellum (many bacteria or sperm cells), cilia (cells in the trachea), and pseudopods (white blood cells).  Fungi are a very diverse group of organisms. Students may develop and use models that show the methods of fungal reproduction and spore dispersal. 
