Presentation Transcript

  1. 6 kingdoms of Life • 1. Plants • 2. Animals • 3. Fungi • 4. Archaebacteria • 5. Eubacteria • 6. PROTISTA

  2. Kingdom Protista • FUNGUS-LIKE PROTISTS… The slime molds and water molds • PLANT-LIKE PROTISTS……. The Algae • ANIMAL LIKE PROTISTS…. The protozoa

  3. SLIME MOLD… a fungus-like protist

  4. Yellow slim mold… a colony of thousands of single celled amoeba like

  5. Are you smarter than a slime mold?

  6. More slime mold

  7. Pretzel Slime Mold

  8. Slime mold recreates rail-lines and interstate highways when grown on a map

  9. Water Mold… a fungus-like protist

  10. Water Mold… not a fungus… a protist

  11. ANIMAL-LIKE PROTISTS ( Protozoans )

  12. This amoeba is about to “eat” the algae cells. Amoebas are single celled “animal-like” protists

  13. An amoeba has a EUKARYOTIC cell (cell with a nucleus and many organelles )

  14. WHY is an Amoeba NOT a bacteria? BACTERIA CELL AMOEBA CELL Has a nucleus Has mitochondria Has E.R. Has Golgi apparatus Has vacuoles • No nucleus • No mitochondria • No E.R. • No Golgi apparatus • No vacuoles

  15. Death by Amoeba: Some twin cities youth lost their lives to an amoeba which infected their brain after swimming in a certain lake

  16. Amoeba reproducing asexually

  17. A single Amoeba

  18. Paramecia.. Animal like protists

  19. Paramecia conjugating = trading DNA (similar to sexual reproduction )

  20. Paramecia. 1 cell big, but notice the small hairs called “cilia” covering each cell

  21. Paramecium dividing

  22. PLANT-LIKE PROTISTS ( Algae )

  23. Euglena. A single celled protist… half plant… half animal 

  24. Euglena with a single flagellum visible coming from the tip of each cell

  25. Euglena with a red eyespot clearly visible. Chloroplasts are also clearly visible

  26. Euglena… common in our lakes and ponds in Douglas County

  27. KELP a plant-like protist. Kelp forests make rich habitat in oceans for many other creatures

  28. Gas filled bladders on kelp help to float the “leaves” of this protist

  29. Kelp forest. Kelp can grow 2 meters per day = 6 feet! Very important producer

  30. Kelp attach to the ocean bottom with “holdfasts”

  31. Sea urchins are animals which nibble through then holdfasts of kelp…sometimes setting the kelp adrift

  32. Sea urchins on Kelp

  33. Spirogyra… a plant like protist. We call plant like protists… ALGAE

  34. Spirogyra… common here in Alex. Not a plant! A plant-like protist. ( algae )

  35. Spirogyra algae

  36. Volvox… a colony of green algae cells common in Douglas County

  37. Volvox. A plant like protists

  38. Anabaena… a green alga

  39. Anabaena… a plant like protist( algae )

  40. Water Net. A Green alga

  41. ?

  42. Algae farms in the desert. Could these protists produce enough oil to power our vehicles?

  43. . Over 70% of earth’s oxygen is produced by algae. Thank you little green photosynthetic algae dudes !!

  44. Bubbles of oxygen in the sunlight as photosynthesis happens

  45. Single celled algae living inside of coral.= mutualism. The algae make food for the coral animal during photosynthesis. What if you had algae living in your skin?

  46. Green alga inside coral animals

  47. Sponges. These are animals which are green because of an alga living inside.

  48. Sloth fur is excellent algae habitit

  49. Sloth with algae in fur

  50. Red Tide. Caused by a plant-like protist with red pigment ( red alga )
