Kingdom Protista

Mostly unicellular Eukaryotic Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Both aquatic and terrestrial May reproduce sexually (conjugation) or

asexually (binary fission)

1)Animal-like protists (protozoans)Phylum Example Type of

movement

Sarcodina ameba pseudopods "false feet"

Ciliophora paramecium cilia

Zooflagellates Trypanosoma flagella

Sporozoa Plasmodium nonmotile

Animal-like protists (protozoans)

Ameba

Trypanosoma

Paramecium

Plasmodium

2) Plant-like Protists

These protists photosynthesize. Examples

• Euglena• Golden algae (diatoms)• Dinoflagellates (cause red tides)• Green algae (ex-spirogyra)• Brown algae (seaweeds)• Red algae (seaweeds)

Plant-like protists

3) Fungi-like protists Example:

Slime molds

Kingdom Fungi

Includes yeast, mold, mushrooms, rusts, and smuts

Eukaryotic and heterotrophic! Saprobes=decomposers Mostly multicellular (unicellular-yeast) Some parasites (pathogens)-athlete’s

foot, ring worm, yeast infections

Examples of Fungi

Mushroom

Rust

Yeast

Smut

Beneficial Fungi Penicillium-mold producing penicillin Yeast used in making bread Truffles-edible Blue cheese-contains mold Lichens-2 organisms (fungus and algae)

These are the 1st organisms to colonize bare rock and make new soil
