ProtistaFacto! • Protists are usually unicellular, but can be colonial • Can colonize just about any moist environment • Autotrophs (PHS), heterotrophs (phagocytosis), parasitic (malaria) even symbionts (termite & zooflagellates = mutualistic relationship) • Reproduce asexually by binary fission or by budding • Reproduce sexually by conjugation or by syngamy (gametes)
A PhylumCiliophora Paramecium conjugating (sexual reproduction controlled by the micronucleus (can’t see!), macronucleus (A)
PhylumSarcomastigophora SubphylumSarcodina Foramnifera Generally benthic – they live here! CHAMBERED, (shells & bubbles) CaCO3 tests (skeletons), extend pseudopodia through pores.
PhylumSarcomastigophora SubphylumSarcodina Radiolaria (round) Generally pelagic – they live here! SPHERICAL bodies, silica tests (skeletons), extend pseudopodia through the tiny holes in the shell
PhylumSporozoa Plasmodium vivax - blood parasite that causes Malaria. Adults are non-motile.
