Kingdom Protista
“Protists”
I. Characteristics
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
All are eukaryotic
Most are unicellular /some are multicellular
Asexual or sexual reproduction
Autotrophic or heterotrophic
Can be grouped into 3 general categories
by the way they obtain nutrition
Draw this in the TYPES column
PROTISTS
PROTOZOANS
(Animal-like)
ALGAE
(Plant-like)
Slime/Water Molds
(Fungus-like)
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
A. Heterotrophs-do not
make their own food
B. Classified by means
of movement
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
False feet = pseudopods
C. Projections of their cytoplasm (false feet)
Most harmless, but some cause dysentery
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
amoeba-can cause amoebic dysentery
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
Lime skeleton formed the white
cliffs of Dover
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
D. Move by flagella
(whip-like tail)
Beneficial example Trichonympha – live
in gut of termites-help
termite digest wood
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
Parasitic
a. Trichomonascauses STD
=venereal disease
b. Giardia-freshwater, causes dysentery
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
Trypanosoma-African sleeping
sickness-carried by tsetse fly
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
PARAMECIUM
move by cilia
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
Paramecium
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
E. Sessile
1. Do not move on their own (sessile)
2. All are parasitic-carried by an insect
(insect is the vector)
3.Example-Plasmodium – in saliva glands
of mosquito, causes Malaria
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans
MALARIA
Animal – like Protists: Protozoans

Plant-like protists
A. Autotrophs-photosynthetic-make their
own food
B. Classified by:
1. Color
2. Photosynthetic pigments
3. Whether they are unicellular or multicellular
Plant-like protists
C. Unicellular Algae
Plant-like protists
golden algae
a. Cell walls of silica
b. Example- Diatoms
1. Benefits - Cleaners, toothpaste, filters
(diatomaceous earth)
2. Makes up phytoplankton
Direct and indirect food source for ocean animals
Produce large amount of oxygen (50-70%)
Source of offshore oil deposits
Autotrophic-bottom of the food chain
Plant-like protists
Diatoms

Plant-like protists
Dinoflagellata
Phytoplankton
b. 2 flagella
a.
Plant-like protists
D. Bioluminescent-produce light
Plant-like protists
red tide – a bloom that forms toxins
bloom = enormous growth
1. Depletes water of nutrients
2. Decomposes dead cells removing oxygen
from water
3. Fish and other organisms die
Plant-like protists
RED TIDE
Plant-like protists
Euglena
Used in sewage treatment plants
Can cause blooms
in pond water
Plant-like protists
E. Algaeautotroph-contain
chlorophyll and
accessory pigments
that can give color;
Classified by color
Plant-like protists
Green Algae
evolved into 1st land plants
Examples
unicellular-Chlamydomonas
Plant-like protists
Volvox-colonial
Plant-like protists
spirogyra
Plant-like protists
Red Algae
Benefits - Used to thicken
soup, pudding, frosting.
Thickener is carageenan
Plant-like protists
Benefits - Used to make
nori (sushi wrap)
Plant-like protists
Brown algae
Kelp – largest brown seaweed
- used to thicken ice cream
Plant-like protists
d. Sargassum – makes up the
Sargasso Sea
Fungus-like protists
Slime and Water Molds
A. Decompose matter in
soil
Fungus-like protists
Water molds
Caused
Great Potato Famine
Fungus-like protists

KINGDOM FUNGI
I. Characteristics
A. Eukaryotic,
Heterotrophic,
Cell walls made of chitin
B. Decomposers, some are parasitic
C. Classified by their fruiting body –
how they produce spores
Fruiting Bodies
Hyphae
basic structural unit
Mycelium –
mass of tangled hyphae
Bread Mold
used in cortisone production
Mycelium –
mass of tangled hyphae
Yeasts – used in baking and brewing
(unicellular) –
fermentation product = CO2
Remember balloon lab in the fall
Truffles - edible
Morel -
edible
Bracket Fungi
Mushrooms-some are food
Rusts/Smuts
-- destroy cereal crops
Amanita – Deathcap
very poisonous
Puffballs
Benefits -
Penicillium – makes antibiotic
& gives bleu cheese the blue veins
-makes citric acid and soy sauce
-used to produce cyclosporin
(anti-rejection drug for transplant
patients)
Harmful Effects –
Responsible for athlete’s foot,
ringworm, jock itch, thrush
VI. Symbiotic Relationship
close association of 2 organisms
A. Lichen – algae (makes food) +
fungus (traps moisture);
used to detect air pollution
B. Mycorrhizae –
plant roots (feeds fungus) +
fungus (gives water and minerals)
