1 Chapter 22 Protist • Protist Diversity • Protozoan: Animal-like Protists • • • • 22.2 Algae: Plant-like Protists What are Algae? Phyla of Algae Reproductive strategies of Algae Funguslike Protists 2 Chapter 22 Protist continued • 22.3 Different Kinds of Fungus like Protists • Slime Molds • Water Molds and Downy Mildews 3 Protist Diversity • Most Diverse of all five kingdoms • size varies from microns to over 100 meters • 200,000 species • All are Eukaryotes 4 Protozoan: Animal-like Protists • Unicellular heterotrophs • classified by their method of movement – – – – cilia flagella pseudopodia non-motile 5 Animal - like Amoebas • • • • • • Phylum sarcodina No wall outside cell membrane move by forming pseudopodia live in water or wet patches have problem with Osmosis Contractile vacuoles are Use to eliminate waste 6 Amoebas pictures 7 Amoebas with Shells • Hard Shell Amoeba 8 Amoeba feeding 9 Ciliated Protist Paramecium Paramecium morphology 10 11 Paramecium feeding 12 Flagellated Protist Flagellates: Protozoans that move with Flagella • Animal-like because they move and aren’t able to make their own food • Some have a single flagella and others have two • Are aquatic / marine single cell organisms 13 14 Non-Motile Protist • Giardia- cause of Malaria 15 Reproductive strategies of Sarcodines 16 Contractile Vacuoles Vacuole filled with waste products Emptied vacuole waste material 17 22.2 Algae: Plant-like Protists • Plant like protist that utilize Photosynthesis • Some are unicellular • some are multicellular • All are Aquatic / Marine What are Algae? • Six different groups – Unicellular • Euglenoid • Diatoms • Dinoflagellates – Multicellular • red algae • Brown algae • Green algae 18 19 Euglenoid 20 Euglenoid Protist • • • • • • They are unicellular Are heterotrophs Utilize Photosynthesis to make their food Can absorb food during dark periods Have and eyespot to help find light single flagella to swim 21 Euglena- picture 2 22 Euglena diagram 23 Diatoms- protist 24 Diatom - assorted picture 25 Diatom facts • Have two halves to their hard shells which are made of silica • undergo both asexual and sexual reproductions • Vital part of the food chain in oceans 26 Diatom - reproduction 27 Dinoflagellates pictures 28 Dinoflagellate info • • • • Unicellular in size Cell wall is made of thick plates Move by using two flagella One species causes Red tide Red algae Picture 29 30 Red Algae information • Another name for this group is red seaweed • acts like and looks plants - attaches itself to the bottom and has a long stem like structure with what looks like leaves. • Deep ocean location because they can absorb blue colors ( most penetrating light) 31 Brown Algae - pictue 32 Brown Algae picture 2 33 Brown Algae information • Another name for this group is Brown seaweed ( kelp) • loves cold water • uses a thallus to attach itself to rocks • no real stem or roots • Agar ( gelleton ) comes from this protist 34 Green Algae - picture 35 Green Algae picture 2 36 Green Algae information • Most are fresh water organism • some are unicellular/ multicellular • Reproduce by using both sexual and asexual reproduction • Use Alternating generation 37 Reproductive strategies of Algae 38 Alternating Generation -diagram 39 22.3 Fungus-like Protists • Colorfull - ranging in color ( red, blue, violet to yellow • live in cool moist environments • live off rotting organic matter • are motile 40 Different Kinds of Funguslike Protists • There are three phyla of fungus like molds – slime molds • plasmodial • cellular – water molds 41 Slime Molds- plasmodial 42 Slime mold - cellular 43 Water Molds and Downy Mildews
