Protists (Kingdom)

Protists are a diverse kingdom of mostly unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. They are classified into three main groups based on their similarities to animals, plants, and fungi. Animal-like protists, such as flagellates and ciliates, move to obtain food using structures like flagella, pseudopods, or cilia.

Protists (Kingdom)

Unicellular (mostly), Eukaryotic

Plant-like

Brown Algae
It has many plant-like structures
Seaweed with many pigments
Green Algae
Closely related to plants
Unicellular, multicellular, or colonial
Contains green pigment
Red Algae
Contains red chlorophyll
Used in hair conditioner and ice cream
Only needs a smalla mount of sunlight
Multicellular seaweed
Euglenoids
Use flagella for movement
Can be autotrophs and heterotrophs
Green unicellular algae mostly found in pond water
Dinoflagellates
Responsible fro red tides
All have two flagella
Come in a variety of colors, may glow in the dark
Unicellular algae surrounded by stiff plates
Diatoms
Used in household insecticides
Move by oozing chemicals out of slits in their cell walls
Float near the surface of lakes and oceans
Have glass-like cell walls
Algae
They contain chlorophyll and photosynthesize
Very important in oxygen reproduction
Some are Multicellular
Some are Unicellular
Commonly called algae
Autotroph

Animal-like

Subtopic
Example- Plasmodium
Many have more than one host
Feed on the cells and body fluids of their hosts
Flagellates
Example- Peranema
Can have multiple Flagella
Move using the Flagella
Ciliates
Example- Paramecium
They sweep food to the Ciliates
Use Cilia to move and eat
Sarcodines
Example- Amoeba
Have a Contractile Vacuole
feed using pseudopods
unicellular
Made of cells with a nucleus and no cell wall
Can move to obtain food
Heterotroph

Fungi-like

Water Molds and Downy Mildew
Responsible for the Irish Potato Famine
They grow in tiny threads that look like fuzz
Most live in water
Slime Mold
They can be tiny and very big
Live in moist shady places
Brightly colored
They use spores to reproduce
They haev cell walls
Heterotrophs
Decomposer
