Plantae Fungi Animalia Protista eukaryotic Monera prokaryotic Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Protista • Eukaryotic • Mostly unicellular • A very heterogeneous group include both heterotrophic and photoautotrophic forms • 11 phyla • Lots of disagreements • Whittaker = “leftovers”
Reproduction: • binary fission splits into two asexually • multiple fissionproducing more than two individuals • sexually by conjugation(opposite mating strains join & exchange genetic material)
Kingdom Protista • 3 informal groups • Animal-like protists • Fungus-like protists • Plant-like (algal) protists • Misleading: some change ~ 45,000 species
Animal-like Protists Amoeba Cilliates Flagellates 13,000 species
Animal-like Protists • Classified by the way they move pseudopodia cilia flagella
Heterotrophs ingest small food particles & digest it inside food vacuoles containing digestive enzymes
Animal-like protists • Sarcomastigophora (amoebas, forams, radiolarian) • Ciliophora (paramecium) • Zoomastigophora (trypansoma) • Apicocomplexa (Sporozoa)
Animal-like Protists Phylum Sarcomastigophora “Amoeba” Shell-like glass or calcium carbonate structures Radiating projections 13,000 species
Foraminifera Tropics = beaches Most have symbiotic algae
Foramenifera:Globigerina ooze Covers about 36%of the ocean floor
Animal-like Protists Phylum Ciliophora (“ciliates”) Largest, most homogeneous Share few characteristicswith others Movement coordinated Sex: 8 mating types 8,000 species
Animal-like Protists • Phylum Zoomastigophora (“zooflagellates”) • Move using flagella:1 to thousands of flagella • Some parasites • African trypanosomiasis – sleeping sickness – tsetse fly • Chagas Disease – kissing bug • Leishmaniasis – sand fly • giardiasis Vaccines? change protein coat! • Gave rise to animals? 1,500 species
African sleeping sickness Tsetse fly Trypansoma
The Kissing Bug Chagas disease
Leishmaniasis Sand fly Leishmania
Malaria Mosquito & “victim” Africa = kills 1 million children per year Thousands of sporozoites injected Vaccine? (US support?) Anopheles Mosquito gameteocyte Plasmodium sporozoite
Fungus-like Protists 475 species Phylum Oomycota(“water molds”; mildew, blights) Some unicellular; others consist of hyphae Decomposers,parasites Cell walls- cellulose Related to algae based on cell wall composition Named after reproductive method No “septa”
Fungus-like Protists Phylum Myxomycota(“slime molds”) Bizarre Bright colors Moving “slime” mass Acellular body 550 species
Fungus-like Protists Mildew Water molds Blights Downey mildew 475 species Slime molds
Slime Mold Maze The slime mold starts out evenly spread through the maze, but when food sources are placed at two ends, the slime mold retracts from everywhere but the shortest path.
Diatoms Plant-like Protists • Dinoflagellates • Diatoms • Euglena • Cocolithophore • Green algae • Brown Algae • Red algae Dinoflagellates Cocolithophore Radiolarian
Plant-like Protists Phylum Pyrrophyta (“dinoflagellates”) Marine and Freshwater Some live in corals Cause “red tide” 1,100 species
Bioluminescence Pyrocystis fusiformis
Red Tide • HAB (harmful algal blooms) can result in • PSP (paraletic shellfish poisoning) Gonyaulax polyhedra, Gymnodium
Plant-like Protists Phylum Chrysophyta (“diatoms & golden algae”) Link to green algae 13,000 species
HAB- diatoms 2009 Washington State 10,000 seabirds deaths Alfred Hitchkock “The Birds” Diatom - Akashiwo sanguinea Domoic acid
Plant-like Protists Phylum Euglenophyta (“euglenoids”) 800 species
Division Chlorophyta “Green algae” Most freshwater or terrestrial Some marine 7,000 species
Chlorophyta: Green Algae Halimeda opuntia Codium edule Caulerpa sertularioides Dictyosphaeria cavernosa Caulerpa racemosa
Division Phaeophyta “Brown algae” Marine habitats Example: giant kelp forests 1,500 species
Example of complex morphology: Macrocystis • holdfast - attaches to substrate • stipe • blade - main organ of photosynthesis • bladder - keeps blades near the surface Blade Bladder Stipe Holdfast
Phaeophyta: Brown Algae Padina japonica Turbinaria ornata Hydroclathrus clathratus Sargassum echinocarpum Sargassum polyphyllum
Division Rhodophyta “Red algae” Most in marine habitats 4,000 species
Rhodophyta: Red Algae Hypnea chordacea Ahnfeltia concinna Acanthophora spicifera Galaxaura fastigiata Asparagopsis taxiformis
