Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Protista Mostly unicellular Eukaryotic Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Both aquatic and terrestrial May reproduce sexually (conjugation) or asexually (binary fission)
1)Animal-like protists (protozoans) Phylum Example Type of movement Sarcodina ameba pseudopods "false feet" Ciliophora paramecium cilia Zooflagellates Trypanosoma flagella Sporozoa Plasmodium nonmotile
Animal-like protists (protozoans) Ameba Paramecium Trypanosoma Plasmodium
2) Plant-like Protists These protists photosynthesize. Examples Euglena Golden algae (diatoms) Dinoflagellates (cause red tides) Green algae (ex-spirogyra) Brown algae (seaweeds) Red algae (seaweeds)
Plant-like protists
3) Fungi-like protists Example: Slime molds
Kingdom Fungi Includes yeast, mold, mushrooms, rusts, and smuts Eukaryotic and heterotrophic! Saprobes=decomposers Mostly multicellular (unicellular-yeast) Some parasites (pathogens)-athlete’s foot, ring worm, yeast infections
Examples of Fungi Mushroom Yeast Rust Smut
Beneficial Fungi Penicillium-mold producing penicillin Yeast used in making bread Truffles-edible Blue cheese-contains mold Lichens-2 organisms (fungus and algae) These are the 1st organisms to colonize bare rock and make new soil
