  1. An Overview of Protists Matthew Fessler Tyler Maley Kyle O’Brien Brent Valosin

  2. Chlamydomonas Phylum Chlorophyta Nutrition: obligate photoautotrophs or facultative heterotrophs Grow in wet environments with minimal light Move using flagella

  3. Chlorella pyrenoidosa Phylum Chlorophyta Found in fresh water environments Uses chloroplasts for photosynthesis Does not utilize flagella for locomotion

  4. Leishmania Kingdom Excavata Phylum Eugulenoza Obligate parasite that causes leishmaniasis Spread by sandflies Infects many vertebrates, including humans Absorb nutrients from host organism

  5. T. vaginalis Kingdom Excavata Phylum Metamonada Obligate parasite Moves via flagella Can only survive in anaerobic environments Lives in urogential tract of males and females

  6. Amoeba Kingdom Protista Phylum Sarcodina Move using pseudopods Obtains food via phagocytosis Uses contractile vacuoles for osmoregulation Found in freshwater environments

  7. Radiolaria Kingdom Rhizaria Phylum Radiolaria Part of zooplankton throughout the ocean And also found on the ocean floor Moves using a unique combination of microtubules and pseudopods Often they form a symbiotic relationship with algae (zooxanthellae) Form a silicon shell
