Have you know about PROTIST?

Lets learn about protist together

Protist is

Eukaryotic
Unicellular, colonial, and multicellular.

Five Supergroups of Eukaryotes

Classification of Protista

Excavllta
Diplomonads and Parabasalids

Euglenozoans

Excavllta
Diplomonads Cannot use oxygen to help extract energy from carbohydrates and other organic molecules. Multiple flagella. Parasites.

Diplomonads and Parabasalids

Giardia intestinalis Cause severe diarrhea.

Excavllta
Parabasalids Have reduced mitochondria. Generate some energy anaerobically. releasing hydrogen gasas a by product.

Diplomonads and Parabasalids

Trichomonas vaginalis Infect the vagina.

Excavllta
Kinetoplastids Single, large mitochondrion kinetoplast Feed on prokaryotes in fresh water, marine, and most terrestrial ecosystems, as well as species that parasitize animals,plants, and other protists.

Euglenozoans
Trypanosoma Cause sleeping sickness .

Excavllta
Euglenids One or two flagella. Mixotrophs. Phagocytosis.

Euglenozoans

Chromalveolata

Stramenopiles

Alveolates

Chromalveolata
Dinoflagellates Reinforced by cellulose plates. Two flagella. Marine and freshwater. red tide phenomenon.

What is RED TIDE???

Pfiesteria shumwayae

Alveolates

Do you think its a beautiful phenomenon? Check this video

RED TIDE

This video ilustrated the effect of red tide phenomenon.

Chromalveolata
Apicomplexans Parasites. Sexual and asexual stages. Require two or more host species.

Life Cycle

Plasmodium

Alveolates

Chromalveolata
Ciliates Use cilia to move and feed. Micronuclei and large macronuclei. Feeding, waste removal, and water balance. Conjugation and reproduction.

Alveolates

Feeding, waste removal, and water balance.

Conjugation and reproduction.

Chromalveolata
Diatoms Unicellular. Have a unique glass-like wall made of hydrated silica (silicon dioxide). Asexually by mitosis. Cysts.

Stramenopiles

Chromalveolata
Golden Algae Yellow and brown carotenoids. Biflagellated. Fresh water and marine. Photosynthetic and mixotrophic. Unicellular, but some are colonial.

Stramenopiles

Dinobryon a colonial golden alga found in fresh water

Chromalveolata
Brown Algae Multicellular. Marine. Brown or olive color to the carotenoids. Called seaweeds. Cell walls are composed of cellulose and gel-forming polysaccharides.

Life Cycle

Stramenopiles

Laminaria

Chromalveolata
Oomycetes Watermolds, the whiterusts, and the downy mildews.

Laminaria

Rhizaria

Forams Radiolarians

Rhizaria
Foram tests consist of a single piece of organic material hardened with calcium carbonate. Forams are found in both the ocean and fresh water. Ninety percent of all identified species of forams are known from fossils.

Forams

Rhizaria
Symmetrical internal skeletons that are generally made of silica. Marine.
