  1. Kingdom Protista

  2. What are Protists? • Protists are single or many-celled organisms that live in moist or wet surroundings. • Some protists contain chlorophyll and make their own food, others don’t. • Protists are plant-like, animal-like, and fungus-like.

  3. What are Algae? • Algae are plant-like protists that contain chlorophyll and can make their own food. • NOT all algae are GREEN!!!

  4. Euglena • Euglena have characteristics of plants and animals. • They contain chloroplasts which can produce carbohydrates. • When no sunlight is available, they consume other food. • They move using a whip-like tail called a FLAGELLA.

  5. Euglena Diagrams

  6. Diatoms • Diatoms are golden brown aglae that store food in the form of oil. • They reproduce in extremely large numbers and have a variety of shapes.

  7. Spirogyra • Spirogyra is a chain-like algae that has spiral shaped chloroplasts.

  8. Volvox • Volvox is ball-shaped and lives in colonies. • The colony rolls through the water using flagella.

  9. Animal-like Protists: • Flagellates: have flagella • Ciliates: have cilia • Pseudopods: have foot-like extensions

  10. Ciliates • Ciliates move using short, threadlike structures that surround the body. • Example: Paramecium.

  11. Pseudopods • Pseudopod means “false foot.” • Pseudopods are foot-like extensions that the organism uses to move and trap food. • Example: Amoeba
