KINGDOM PROTISTA

•Much more complicated than Monerans

•They represent the intermediate step in the evolution of the other three kingdoms

•Contains about 65,000 species

•Protozoan is the Greek word for “first animal”

2

•Made up of a complex eukaryotic cell (unicellular) or cells (multicellular)

•Eukaryotes have cellular organelles, and prokaryotes (bacteria) do not

KINGDOM PROTISTA

• Prefix uni One (single)

• Prefix multi More than one (many)•Kingdom has organisms that demonstrate both animal and plant-like characteristics

•Some members make their own food (________)autotrophs

•Some ingest food from outside (____________)heterotrophs

•Organisms separated based on feeding behaviors

4

•All Protozoa can reproduce asexuallyasexually

•Called binary fissionbinary fission•During binary fission, one protozoan cell divides into two identical individuals.

•One “parent” for reproduction

Kingdom Protista

6

Animal-like protists

•classified by the 4 ways they move:1) CiliaCilia -

2) Flagellum(a)Flagellum(a) -

•Coordinated movement between individual cilia

•Back and forth wave motion

tiny beating hair-like structures

whip-like tail(s)

•All heterotrophs

7

3) Pseudopodia -Pseudopodia -

Animal-like protists

•classified by the 4 ways they move:

projection of cytoplasm that sticks out like a foot (“false foot”)

4) Sessile Sessile - No locomotion (_________)movement

8

1. Amoeba just visible to the naked eye

moves by pseudopodia which give appearance of cell changing size and shape

comes from the Greek word amoibe which means “change”

Animal-like protists - Examples

unicellular

aquatic - lives in ponds, ditches or slowly moving streams can cause disease – amoebic dysentery ingests small organisms like bacteria and other protozoans

9

1. AmoebaAnimal-like protists -

Examples feeding sequence psuedopodia surround and engulf food particle process called phagocytosis

10

2. Paramecium


•Unicellular, slipper-shaped

•move by coordinated beating of many cilia

•aquatic - mostly found in ponds and streams•usually do not cause diseases in humans

11

2. Paramecium - continued


•Feeding occurs in the funnel-shaped gullet (buccal cavity) where food is drawn in by external and internal cilia to form food vacuole

•ingests organic detritus and other small organisms like bacteria and other protozoans

12

•protist that reproduce by forming spores

•sporozoans named Plasmodium causes malaria•its caused by female mosquitos

•humans get malaria when bitten by an infected mosquito

•mostly common in tropical areas

•Sporozoa do not move on their own

•they are usually parasitic

Characteristics of Sporozoans (Animal-like)

Animal-like protists: The Sporozoan

13

•Have chlorophyll•Make their own food•They can live in 4 main environments:

•salt water

•soil•tree bark

•freshwater

PLANT-LIKE PROTIST

•they produce large amounts of oxygen which are used by other living organisms

•they are grouped according to color & stucture•into 5 main groups:

4) red dinoflagellates

2) diatoms 5) algae

1) euglena 3) dinoflagelletes

14

•they are grouped according to color & stucture

PLANT-LIKE PROTIST Cont’d

A) Euglena

B) Diatom

C) Dinoflagellates

D) Red Dinoflagellates

E) Green Algae

15


A) Euglena-•one celled alga that moves with one flagellum

•red eyespot near front end to find light…Why?

•lives in fresh water

•reproduces asexually

•have chlorophyll and can make their own food ( )autotro

ph

16

•organelle is the site of photosynthesis and gets its name from the presence of the green pigments (the chlorophylls)

contains disk-shaped chloroplasts


A) Euglena Continued-

17


B) Diatom•beautiful one celled protists

•come in many shapes

•EX: boats, rods, disks, triangles

•important food source for water dwelling animals•cell covering is made up of 2 overlapping parts

•made of the same material as glass

•Think of a box with a lid

•cell coverings do not decay (when dead)•used for toothpaste, scouring powders, & filters

18


C) Dinoflagellates

•Algae that is usually found in oceans

•Usually brown or red in color

•Have hidden chlorophyll due to dark pigments•Move by two flagella

•Read & Highlight hand-out on Dinoflagellates

19


•produce large numbers which turns the ocean red•responsible for “red tides”•produce chemicals that kill thousands of fish•humans can become ill if they eat shell fish that have absorbed these chemicals

•common off the coast of Florida or other warmer areas

20

Red Tide

21

Red Tide Kills Fish

After encountering and absorbing a red tide..a stingray becomes disoriented. They have the appearance of not being able to see or control what they are doing. Eventually the ray will stay at the surface lying horizontally and die.

Absorbed red Absorbed red dinoflagellatesdinoflagellates

22


E) Green Algae•Come in many different forms•can be unicellular or multicellular

•usually found in “colonies”•Colony – a group of cells that live together

•they produce O2 in H2O •serve as food for fish, snails, and crayfish

desmids

spirogyra

chlorella

23

•EX: volvox colony•Arranged in a single layer with flagella facing outward•The flagella beat and the colony spins through the water

PLANT-LIKE PROTIST Cont’dAlgae Examples

•EX: Kelp (brown algae) …aka….“sea weed”•used by humans for food•also used to thicken food such as ice cream and jelly

25

FUNGUS-LIKE PROTIST

Slime Molds:

•fungus-like protists that are consumers•live in cool, damp places EX: forest floor

•feed on bacteria growing on rotting logs and decaying leaves

•some are parasites (very few) – feed off living things
