Kingdom Protista • Mostly unicellular • Eukaryotic • Autotrophic and Heterotrophic • Both aquatic and terrestrial • May reproduce sexually (conjugation) or asexually (binary fission)
Animal-like protists (protozoans) Ameba Paramecium Trypanosoma Plasmodium
2) Plant-like Protists • These protists photosynthesize. • Examples • Euglena • Golden algae (diatoms) • Dinoflagellates (cause red tides) • Green algae (ex-spirogyra) • Brown algae (seaweeds) • Red algae (seaweeds)
3) Fungi-like protists • Example: • Slime molds
Kingdom Fungi • Includes yeast, mold, mushrooms, rusts, and smuts • Eukaryotic and heterotrophic! • Saprobes=decomposers • Mostly multicellular (unicellular-yeast) • Some parasites (pathogens)-athlete’s foot, ring worm, yeast infections
Examples of Fungi Mushroom Yeast Rust Smut
Beneficial Fungi • Penicillium-mold producing penicillin • Yeast used in making bread • Truffles-edible • Blue cheese-contains mold • Lichens-2 organisms (fungus and algae) • These are the 1st organisms to colonize bare rock and make new soil
