9. Most Protists are asexual and reproduce by binary fission/mitosis. Others reproduce sexually through conjugation.

10. They are divided into 3 groups based on similarities.

11. Some of the protists are plant-like (algae), while others are animal-like (protozoans) and still others are fungus-like (slime molds).

15. Phylum Sarcodina Entamoeba histolytica

16. Trypanosoma cruzi Blood sucking insects known as kissing bugs act as the vectors of Chagas to humans.

18. Phylum Zoomastigophora Trichomonas

19. KINGDOMProtista PHYLUMProtozoa CLASSCiliata ORDERHymenostomatida FAMILYParameciidae GENUSParamecium SPECIESParamecium (many species) Paramecium are helpful by controlling algae, bacteria, and other protists. They also help clean up tiny particles of debris in the water, and they feed small animals.

23. Macrocystis or giant kelp contains an emulsifier that is added to ice cream, salad dressing, toothpaste, cosmetics and hundreds of other products.

24. These are the fungus-like protists. They form delicate structures when on their food supply. They are considered decomposers because they obtain energy from breaking down dead organisms.

25. Some use spores that are released in order to reproduce.
