1. Kingdom Protista

2. Kingdom Protista
Is considered to be the “junk drawer” kingdom since it’s very diverse.
All are eukaryotes (with nuclei) that live in moist surroundings.

3. There are ? types of protists.3

4. Animal-like Protists (Protozoans)
Move place to place to obtain food
Single-celled (unicellular)
There are 4 types of Protozoans:

5. 1. Sacrodines Ones with psuedopods (pseudo=false, pod=foot)
These organisms allow their cell membranes to bulge out so they can move.

6. 1. Sacrodines An example is an amoeba.
Amoebas have a contractile vacuole; structure that collects extra water and expels it from cell.

7. 2. Ciliates Contain cilia or hair-like projections from the cell.
Example: paramecium

8. 3. zooflagellates Have 1-8 whip-like tails called flagella.
Example: Giardia

9. 4. Sporozoans Parasites that feed on cells/body fluids of hosts.
Example: Plasmodium (causes malaria)

11. 2. Fungus-like Protists
Like fungus, fungus-like protists are heterotrophs, have cell walls, and use spores to reproduce. But unlike fungi, these guys at some point can move.

12. Fungus-like protists Examples:
water molds (grows as tiny threads for a fuzzy covering), downy mildews, and slime molds (bright colored, feed on decaying plants.

13. 3. Plant-like Protists
Algae-all are autotrophs like plants, most O2 comes from these organisms, they vary in size.

14. Plant-like Protists
Euglenoids – green unicellular algae found in freshwater. They have long flagellum.
Dinoflagellates – unicellular algae covered in “stiff plates”, 2 flagella, many glow in dark

15. Plant-like Protists
Diatoms – unicellular with glass-like walls, support the aquatic ecosystem.

16. Plant-like Protists
Green algae – uni- and multicellular, green pigments.

17. Plant-like Protists
Red algae – almost all are multicellular seaweeds, some can live below 260 meters in the ocean. Carrageenan comes from red algae and is used in making ice cream and conditioner.

18. Plant-like protists
Brown algae – Giant kelps, brown, yellow, and orange pigments.
Orange pigments help make salad dressing and pudding.
