Chapter 28 Evolution of Eukaryotic Diversity Kingdom Protista
II. Kingdom Protista • Most diverse of all kingdoms • Classification difficult; created more for convenience
A. General Characteristics • Eukaryotic • Most single-celled, some colonial, some multicellular • Neither animals, plants or fungi • Auto or heterotrophs; some mixotrophs • Many have either cilia or flagella with 9+2 microtubule arrangement at some point in life cycle • Varied life cycle: alternation of generation, to predominant multicellular diploid life, or predominant multicellular haploid life
B. 3 Major Categories • Animal-like (protozoa) • Algae or plant-like (photosynthetic) • Fungal-like
III. Animal-Like Protists • Called Protozoa • May have given rise to animals • Asexual or sexual reproduction • Many form cysts (resistant bodies) and wait out stressful conditions • Usually non-photosynthetic heterotrophs
Rhizopoda(Amoeba) • amoeba video
Actinopoda(Actinopods, Foraminiferans) Radiolarian Foraminifean
Zoomastigina(zooflagellates) Giardia lamblia Trypansoma Trichomonas vaginalis
IV. Algae and Plant-like Protists • Photosynthetic!! • Many have flagella and are often mistaken to be animal-like protists • All have chll a, carotenoids, other forms of chll, and other accessory pigments • Not considered true plants due to lack of plant structures such as a waxy cuticle
Chlorophyta(Green Algae) • Volvox Video
Fungal-like Protists • Form filaments (spore-bearing bodies) similar to fungus
