KINGDOM PROTISTA
•Made up of a complex eukaryotic cell (unicellular)
or cells (multicellular)
•Eukaryotes have cellular organelles, and
prokaryotes (bacteria) do not
• Prefix uni One (single)
• Prefixmulti More than one (many)
•Kingdom has organisms that demonstrate both
animal and plant-like characteristics
•Some members make their own food (________)
autotrophs
heterotrophs
•Some ingest food from outside (____________)
2
KINGDOM PROTISTA
•Organisms separated based on feeding behaviors
Autotrophs Heterotrophs
green algae amoeboids
brown algae ciliates
red algae zooflagellates
diatoms sporozoans
dinoflagellates plasmodial slime molds
euglenoids cellular slime molds
water molds

•All Protozoa can reproduce asexually
•One “parent” for reproduction
•Called binary fission
•During binary fission, one
protozoan cell divides into two
identical individuals.

KINGDOM PROTISTA
•Inhabit aquatic (______)
water areas and terrestrial
(_____)
land areas
•Protists are classified into 13 Phyla which can be
placed into 3 main groups

Kingdom Protista

Animal-like protists
•All heterotrophs
•classified by the structure used for movement:
1) Cilia - tiny beating hair-like structures
•Coordinated
movement between
individual cilia
2) Flagellum(a) - whip-like tail(s)
•Back and forth
wave motion
7
Animal-like protists
moving streams
can cause disease – amoebic dysentery
psuedopodia surround
and engulf food particle
process called
phagocytosis
11
Animal-like protists - Examples
2. Paramecium
•Unicellular, slipper-shaped
•move by coordinated
beating of many cilia
14
Animal-like protists - Examples
2. Paramecium - continued
•Reproduction
1. Binary fission (________)
asexual
N = nucleus
F = Fission plane
15
Animal-like protists - Examples
2. Paramecium - continued
•Reproduction
2. Conjugation (________)
sexual

Animal-like protists: The Sporozoan
B) Diatom
E) Green Algae
C) Dinoflagellates

PLANT-LIKE PROTIST Cont’d
A) Euglena-
•one celled alga that
moves with one flagellum
A) Euglena Continued-
contains
disk-shaped
chloroplasts
C) Dinoflagellates

PLANT-LIKE PROTIST Cont’d
Algae Examples
•EX: volvox colony
•Arranged in a single layer
with flagella facing outward
•The flagella beat and the
colony spins through the water
•Brown Algae
•EX: Kelp (brown algae) …
aka….“sea weed”
•used by humans for food
•also used to thicken food
such as ice cream and jelly

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)
33
FUNGUS-LIKE PROTIST
Life Cycle of Slime Molds:
Step 1 –
slimy mass that moves like an amoeba
•beautiful colors of red, yellow, or violet
Step 2 –
stops growing and moving
•produces spores inside a structure on a stalk
Step 3 –
spores develop into little cells w/ flagella
•then each cell loses its flagella and grows
into a slimy mass again 34
