Protists

Heterotroph

flagellates

Animal-like protists that use Flagella to move

Flagella= whip like tail structure

They can have one or more flagella

Example: Paranema

ciliates

Animal- like protists that use cilia to move and eat

Cilia= Hair-Like projections from the cell that move
in waves.

Work together like oars to beat and move.

sweeps food to the ciliates

Example: Paramecium

parasites

Animal- Like protists that feed on the cell and body
fluids of their host

Most have more than one host.

Example: plasmodium

Causes malaria

Sarcodeans

Animal like protist that moves to obtain food

Pseudopods (false feet) to get food

Extension of the cell (bulge) that engulfs food and
moves.

Have contractile vacuole

collects and expels water in the cell.

Example: Amoeba Proteus

Most well known amoeba

Named after greek god that could change shape

Characteristics:

Called protozoans

Get energy from other organisms

Can move to obtain food

made of cells with a nucleus

no cell wall

Unicellular

Fungi

Charachteristics

Heterotrophs

Have cell walls

Use spores to reproduce

Spore- Tiny cell that can grow into a new organism

slime mold-

Brightly colored

live in moist shady places

size ranges from centimeters to meters

Water Molds and Downy Mildews

Most live in water

they grow tiny threads that look like fuzz

responsible for irish potato famine

Autotophs

Algae

Plant like protists

Very important in oxygen production

Most live in water, some on damp surfaces.

Contain chlorophyll and photosynthesis

Diatoms

Have glass-like cell walls

unicellular

float near the surface of lakes and oceans

moves by oozing chemicals out of cell walls.

Used in household scoring products and insecticides.

dinoflagellates

Unicellular algae surrounded by stiff plates

come in lots colors even glow in dark

Have two flagella

Responsible for "Red Tides"

Common name for Algal bloom

Usually in costal areas

as result of rapid accumulation of algae, in water column

Have potential to kill other organisms

Euglenoids

Green unicellular algae found in fresh water

can be autotrophs or heterotrophs

use flagella for movement

Red Algae

Multicellular seaweed

only needs small amount of sunlight

used in hair conditioner and Ice cream

The red chlorophyll in it gives it color

Green Algae

contains green pigment

unicellular, multicelluar, or colonial

colonial organisms live attached to others

Closely related to plants

Brown Algae

Seaweed with many pigments

has a plant-like structure

Characteristics

Commonly called algae

uses suns energy to produce its own food

Some are unicellular

some are multicellular

there are 7 main types
