KINDGOM Protista Names reflect modes of locomotion
Phylum Ciliophora - cilia Phylum Sarcomastigophora Subphylum Sarcodina – pseudopodia Subphylum Mastigophora - flagella Phylum Sporozoa – non motile as adults
2
Protista Facto! Protists are usually unicellular, but can be colonial
Can colonize just about any moist environment Autotrophs (PHS), heterotrophs (phagocytosis), parasitic (malaria) even symbionts (termite & zooflagellates = mutualistic relationship) Reproduce asexually by binary fission or by budding Reproduce sexually by conjugation or by syngamy (gametes)
3
A by the micronucleus (can’t see!), macronucleus (A) Phylum Ciliophora
Paramecium conjugating (sexual reproduction controlled by the micronucleus (can’t see!), macronucleus (A)
4
Phylum Sarcomastigophora
Subphylum Sarcodina Foramnifera Generally benthic – they live here! CHAMBERED, (shells & bubbles) CaCO3 tests (skeletons), extend pseudopodia through pores.
5
SPHERICAL bodies, silica tests (skeletons), extend
Phylum Sarcomastigophora Subphylum Sarcodina Radiolaria (round) Generally pelagic – they live here! SPHERICAL bodies, silica tests (skeletons), extend pseudopodia through the tiny holes in the shell
6
Plasmodium vivax - blood parasite that causes
Phylum Sporozoa Plasmodium vivax - blood parasite that causes Malaria. Adults are non-motile.
