  1. Protists Brendon Godshall Jack Dugan Lawrence Garber

  2. Kingdom Adaptations • Unicellular or Multicellular • Eukaryotic • Some Look Plant, Fungus, and Animal-Like • No Certain Kind of Nuclei Bounding a Membrane

  3. Protists’ Diversity • Multicellular or Unicellular • Large, Small, or Microscopic • Heterotrophic and/or autotrophic • No typical shape • Sexual and/or asexual reproduce

  4. Fungus-Like Protists • Slime Molds • Water molds • Downey Molds • Plasmodial Slime Molds • Cellular Slime Molds

  5. Protozoa • Amoebas • Sporozoans • Flagellates • Ciliates • Pseudopodia

  6. Algae • Red algae • Green Algae • Brown Algae • Gold Algae (diatoms)- flat, cylindrical shape, make up a red tide, unique reproductive cycle (asexual and sexual) • Euglenoids- autotrophs and heterotrophs • Dinoflagellates- spinning protists

  7. Simple or Complex? • Because of there wide ranging and diverse phyla, protists are both simple and complex. They can be both unicellular (simple), like most protozoa, or multicellular (complex), like kelp and some types of algae, and fungus-like protists

  8. Protist’s Environments • Protists have many diverse environments that are either land or water. Some, like kelp and paramecium live in the ocean, sea, rivers, lakes, ponds ect. • Protists such as Slime Mold live in wet conditions on trees and act like a fungi.

  9. Malignant Protists • Some Protists like the ones that cause malaria in humans. The disease has been fought well enough to contain it. • Trypanosuma Cruzi is a type of protist given by the “kissing bug” the sucks your blood the poops on the wound you scratch the protist in the fecal matter goes into your blood stream and reproduces in your heart tissue over a period of 10yrs its undetectable until it is too late.
