opportunities
• Extra Credit
• Buffs helping Buffs
• Extra Credit to boost
that GPA!!
For students:

• Can be promoted to Tutor
position
• No other school provides
this opportunity
• Extra Credit for attending!
How do I get involved?
• All Science Teachers
will be taking
applications this
week!!
• Please let me know
if you are interested
in helping!

KINGDOM PROTISTA
Protists
A protist is any organism that is not a plant, an animal,
a fungus, or a prokaryote.
Protists are
eukaryotic.
Some protists
are unicellular
and some
protists are
multicellular.
Protists are in the Kingdom Protista. In Latin, protista
means “the very first”.
Some scientists believe that protists were the first
eukaryotic organisms on Earth that evolved from a
symbiosis of several cells.
Not all scientists agree on how to classify the protists.
The book classifies the protists according to the way
they obtain nutrition.
The three groups of protists are:
•Animal-like
protists – eat
things and are
heterotrophs.
This method of
classifying
protists does
not reflect their
evolutionary
history.
Animal-like protists are called
protozoa. Protozoa means “first
animals”.
A heterotroph eats other things
while an autotroph makes its
own food.
Animal-like protists are
heterotrophs.
Animal-like protists are
distinguished from one another
by their means of movement.
The four phyla of animal-like protists are:
• Zooflagellates –
propelled by whip-like
tails called flagella.
• Sarcodines – move via
temporary cytoplasmic
extensions known as
pseudopods.
• Ciliates – move using
short hair-like
projections called cilia.
• Sporozoans – do not
move.
Animal-like protists
are important to
the oceans
because they are
the first link in the
food chain in many
aquatic
ecosystems.
Phytoplankton are small,
photosynthetic organisms
found near the surface of
the ocean. They provide a
direct source of
nourishment for aquatic
organisms.
Some animal-like protists cause serious diseases. Here
are a few:
• Plasmodium – causes
malaria.
• Trypanosoma –
causes African
sleeping sickness.
• Entamoeba – causes
amebic dysentery.
• Giardia – causes
severe diarrhea and
digestive system
problems.
The three groups of protists are:
•Plant-like
protists –
produce their
own food by
photosynthesis.
This method of
classifying
protists does
not reflect their
evolutionary
history.
Plant-like protists
are like plants
because they
undergo
photosynthesis.
Plant-like protists
are commonly
called algae.
The unicellular algae are divided into four phyla:
• Euglenophytes
• Chrysophytes
• Diatoms
• Dinoflagellates
An algal bloom is a huge
mass of algae that grows
and depletes the water of
nutrients and oxygen.
Sewage discharge into
bodies of water causes
them.
Multicellular
algae are
different than
unicellular algae
because they are
multicellular.
These types of
algae are
typically referred
to as seaweed.
The three phyla of
multicellular algae are red
algae, brown algae, and
green algae. They differ
because of their
photosynthetic pigments.
Multicellular algae are
important to the oceans
because they are a major
food source for life in the
oceans.
The human uses of multicellular algae include:
• Used to make medicines for stomach ulcers, high blood pressure,
arthritis, and other health problems
• Used in foods such as sushi, ice cream, salad dressing, pudding,
pancake syrup, eggnog and candy bars
• Used to make plastics, waxes, transistors, deodorants, paints,
lubricants, and artificial wood
• Used to make agar for culturing bacteria
The three groups of protists are:
• Fungus-like
protists – obtain
their food by
external digestion
(decomposers or
parasites).
This method of
classifying
protists does
not reflect their
evolutionary
history.
Fungus-like protists
live in damp,
nutrient-rich
environments.
They get their food
by digesting it
outside of their
bodies and
absorbing food
through their cell
membranes.
Like fungi, the funguslike protists are
heterotrophs that
absorb nutrients from
dead or decaying
organic matter.
Unlike most true
fungi, fungus-like
protists lack chitin in
their cell walls.
The fungus-like protists include the cellular slime
molds, the acellular slime molds, and the water molds.
Slime molds and
water molds are
important as
recyclers of organic
material.
The dark, rich
topsoil that provides
plants with nutrients
comes from the
decomposition of
dead animals and
plants.
Some fungus-like protists
can harm living things.
Phytophthora infestans is the
protist that caused the Great
Potato Famine. In 1845, this
organism killed about 60 %
of the Irish potato crop, and
in 1846 it killed almost the
entire crop. This led to mass
starvation resulting in the
death of around 1 million
people. Another million Irish
people emigrated to the
United States.
Essential roles that protists play in the environment are:
• Some live
symbiotically
within other
organisms
• Others recycle
nutrients by
breaking down
dead organic
matter
• Many are eaten by
small animals that
are, in turn, eaten
by larger ones
Algae produce much of the Earth’s oxygen through
photosynthesis. About half of all the photosynthesis
that occurs on Earth is performed by algae.
