1 The Path of Life Where do we go from here? From Microbes to Humans

2 Follow The Tree of Life

3 By the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the make-up of the Protista Kingdom Explain the important evolutionary trends that occur in animal evolution Define the animal characteristics Describe the major groups of animals and provide their general characteristics

4 Where do the protists belong? Chapter 20 Unsettled group/No agreement on classification Any organism that is not a plant, animal or prokaryote Eukaryote Mostly single-celled

5

6 Zooflagellates Animal-like Swim with flagella Mostly live solitary

7 Sarcodines Animal-like Move with extensions of cytoplasm called pseudopods Ex: ameobas

8 Ciliates Use cilia to move and feed

9 Sporozoans Do not move on their own Parasites Ex: Cause malaria

10 Plant-like Protists Unicellular algae Different pigment types Variety of cell wall structures Cause red tides and algal blooms

11 Multicellular algae Plant-like structures Ex: Fucus & Kelp

12 Fungus-like protists Heterotrophs tht absorb nutrients Ex: Sime molds

13 What is an animal? Multicellular Eukaryotes Heterotrophs Lack cell walls Invertebrates (most) or vertebrate

14

15 Major Animal Evolution Trends: Cell specialization Organization Development of a coelom Body Symmetry Cephalization

16 What is a coelom?

17 What does symmetry mean?

18 What does cephalization mean?

19 Where do you belong? Tissues/Organization? Coelom/Body cavity? Symmetry? Cephalization? Invertebrate or vertebrate?
