Protista , Fungi, Bacteria, and Viruses. Protista. A protist is any organism that is not a plant, animal or fungus - Eukaryotes ( have nucelus ) - U nicellular or multicellular - Heterotrophs (obtain food) or autotrophs (make food)

Protista • A protist is any organism that is not a plant, animal or fungus -Eukaryotes (havenucelus) -Unicellular or multicellular -Heterotrophs (obtain food) or autotrophs (make food) -May be categorized into animal-like (movement), plant-like (algae), or fungus-like (water molds)
Protista • Some live freely; others on parasites • Most live in water • EX/ amoeba, paramecium, algae, mold • **Algae benneficial- produces oxygen and food for lower organisms on food chain, fertilizers..ect • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zsdYOgTbOk
Kingdom Fungi • Eukaryotes (Havenucelus) • Unicellular or multicellular, • Heterotrophs, autotrophs, saprophytic (break down dead matter) • Some are parasitic and obtain nutrients from living hosts **Benneficial- mushrooms as food, penicillin production, eat decaying matter, yeast (beer/bread)
Fungi Structure: Have cell walls that contain chitin Do not undergo photosynthesis Hyphae:Long branching structure of fungi Mycelium: Vegetative part of fungi and reproductive part Mycologist (scientist who study fungi) are said to have only identified 5% of all fungi
Largest living thing in the world? • 2400 yrs old and 2200 acres (1665 football fields) in Oregon
Bacteria “germs” • Classified into 3 groups based on their shapes- • Cocci: Round shaped • Bacilli: Rod shaped • Spirilli: Spiral shaped Bacteria Structure
Bacteria • Respiration: • Obligate anaerobes - cannot survive in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. • Facultative anaerobes - can live with or without atmospheric oxygen. • Obligate aerobes - cannot survive without atmospheric oxygen. *Beneficial uses? -digestion, building up/breaking down organic compounds, wastes, tobacco, immune system
HOW TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF BACTERIA • Wash hands • Disinfect surfaces • Sanitize • Store foods at Proper temps
Viruses • Surrounded by a protein coat called CAPSID • NOT considered living • 1/100th size of bacteria • Has only RNA or DNA (not both)
Viruses • Reproduces only after infecting a host cell (Can not live independently)Reproduces quickly! • Lytic Cycle- Destroys cell by replicating virus Nucleic acids instead of the cells. Then it infects other cells • Lysogenic Cycle-DNA integrated into cells reproduction- does not destroy cell.
