Ch 20: Kingdom Protista Very diverse group Catch all - membership is determined mainly by exclusion from the other kingdoms
Eukaryotes • all Eukaryotes that are not plants, animals or fungus • Mostly single celled, some multicelled, some colonial • Classified by the way they obtain nutrition
Autotrophic or Heterotrophic • Animal Like • Plant Like • Fungus Like
Autotrophic or Heterotrophic • Plant Like - Autrotrophs • Fungus Like - Heterotrophs • obtain food by external digestion (decomposers or parasites)
Animal Like Protists • Protozoans • Heterotrophs • 4 Phyla divided by the way they move
Zooflagellates • Unicellular • Swim using flagella (1 or 2) • Absorb food through cell membranes • Most Reproduce asexually (Binary Fission)
Zooflagellates • Include several parasites that cause human diseases • Examples: Giardia
Sarcodines • Unicellular • Move with Pseudopods • temporary projections of cytoplasm • Food vacuoles, Endocytosis • Reproduce asexually (BF)
Sarcodines • Examples: • Amoeba (A. Dysentery) • Foraminiferans & Radiolarians (calcium carbonate) • Heliozoans (silica)
Ciliates • Unicellular • Move & feed with cilia • Free living - not parasitic • Reproduce by conjugation (sexual - pg 500) • Most numerous and diverse group
Ciliates • Example: Paramecium (Anatomy page 499)
Sporozoans • Unicellular • Do not move on their own • All parasitic • Reproduce by means of sporozites - sexual and asexual phases (pg 501)
Sporozoans • Example: Malaria • Plasmodium vivax
Plant Like Protists 7major phylas Unicellular & Multicellular Algae
Plant Like Protists Unicellular Algae 4 major phylas Base of the food chain (phytoplankton - Algae & Protozoan)
Euglenophytes • Plant like - has chloroplast, Autotrophic • Animal like - has 2 flagella, no cell walls (pellicle), eye spot (reacts to light), can be heterotrophic in low light • Reproduces by BF
Euglenophytes • Euglena: page 506
Dinoflagellates • Half are photosynthetic, half are heterotrophic • Have 2 flagella • Reproduce by BF • Many are luminescent (fire plants - red tide)
Chrysophytes • Yellow-green & Golden brown algae • Gold colored Chloroplasts • Cell walls with pectin • Store food as oil rather than starch
Diatoms • Cell walls with silicon • Fit together like a petri dish • Remains of the cell are used in abrasives (diatomaceous earth)
Plant Like Protists Multicellular Algae 3 major phylas Classified by pigments
Red Algae • Reddish accessory pigments • Can live deeper in the ocean than most other Algae • Complex life cycles • Example: Irish Moss
Brown Algae • Brown accessory pigments • Largest, most complex algae • Have some specialized parts (Air Bladders, Blades, Hold Fasts, Stipes) • Example: Giant Kelp
Green Algae • Phylum Chlorophyta • Cellulose in cell walls • Some are Unicellular • Live in both fresh water and salt water
Green Algae • Example: • Volvox • Spirogyra (colonial) • Sea lettuce (multicellular)
Fungus Like Protists • Heterotrophic • Absorb nutrients from dead or decaying organic matter • 2 groups
Slime Molds • Have a 3 stage life cycle • Shiny wet appearance, texture like gelatin • Examples: Red Raspberry & Scrambled Egg Slime Mold
Water Mold • Oomycota • Thrive on dead or decaying organic material in water • Are plant parasites on land • Produce Hyphae and zoosporangia
Water Mold • Life Cycle page 519 • Example: • Phytophthora infestans (potato famine)
Diseases caused by Algae • African Sleeping Sickness • Giardia • Amoebic Dysentery • Malaria
Human Uses for Algae • Seaweed, agar, algin • Thickeners for ice cream & salad dressing • plastics, waxes, deodorant
