KEY CONCEPT Kingdom Protista is the most diverse of all the kingdoms.
Protists are eukaryotes that are not animals, plants, or fungi. Protists can be animal-like, plantlike, or funguslike.
Animal-like protists consume other organisms. • heterotrophs • single-celled • example: Oxytricha
Plantlike protists are photosynthetic. • single-celled, colonial, or multicellular • no roots, stems, or leaves • Example: Pediastrum and Giant Kelp (algae) • Use sunlight to make food
Funguslike protists decompose dead organisms. • heterotrophs • can move, where as fungi cannot • Fuligo septica aka. Dog vomit slime mold
Protists are difficult to classify. • Protista is one kingdom in the domain Eukarya.
Protist classification will likely change. • Some protists are not closely related. • Molecular evidence supports reclassification.
