1. Protista Kingdom

2. What is A Protista?
A eukaryotic, unicellular organism that lives in wet environments
3 Types:
Plant-like protista
Animal-like protista
Fungi-like protista

3. Animal-Like Protista
Heterotrophic (Consumers)
Move

4. Protista Movement Pseudopods = “false foot”
Pushes out membrane to move
The Ameba moves like a blob

5. Protista Movement Cilia = “hair-like” projections
Move like a wave to sense environment & gather food
Example: Paramecium

6. Protista Movement
Flagella = A “whip-like” structure that helps it move

7. Fungus-like Protista Heterotrophs Have cell wall
Use spores to reproduce
Examples
Water molds, Downy mildews, and Slime molds!

8. Plant-like Protista Autotrophs: use photosynthesis
Important to the food chain!
Examples:
Algae, Diatoms, Dinoflagellates

9. Algal Blooms
Eutrophication: If too many nutrients enter the water it causes a big increase in algae
The algae then take all the oxygen
Harmful to other organisms

10. Fungi Kingdom

11. Characteristics Eukaryotes
Reproduce using spores: tiny cells that can grow into a new organism
Heterotrophs: absorb or eat food
Live in moist environments

12. Cell Structure Hyphae: threadlike tubes
Hyphae can also produce chemicals to break down food

13. Reproduction spores Asexual: budding & spores
Sexual: Two hyphae join together to exchange genetic info
spores

14. Examples of Fungi
Mushrooms, molds, mildews, & yeast

15. Roles of Fungi Decomposers: break down dead organisms
Food: bakers yeast & mushrooms
Disease: cause disease in plants and animals
Athletes foot
Antibiotics: penicillin
