    This document discusses protists, which are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as plants, animals, or fungi. It describes the three main groups of protists: protozoans, which are animal-like and move using appendages; algae, which are plant-like and have chlorophyll; and molds, which are fungus-like but lack chlorophyll. Slime molds are protists rather than fungi because they do not have mycelium or reproduce through spores. Fungi differ from plants in having cell walls of chitin, lacking chlorophyll and the ability to photosynthesize, and not having true roots, leaves or stems.

    What are Protists?

    Organisms that have plant-like,


    animal-like, and fungus-like
    characteristics.
    They cannot be classified as a plant,
    an animal nor a fungi.
    What are the 3
    groups of Protist?

    1. Protozoans
    2. Algae
    3. Molds
    What are
    PROTOZOANS?
    • Animal-like protist
    • They move using their
    animal-like appendages:
    cilia, flagella and
    pseudopodia
    • They are HETEROTROPHS
    What are ALGAE?

    • Plant-like protists
    • Their bodies are called THALLUS
    (not true stem, leaves, or roots)
    • They have chlorophyl in their cells
    • They are AUTOTROPHS
    What are MOLDS?

    • Fungus-like protists
    • No chlorophyl and No
    appendages.
    • They are SAPROTROPHS
    Why are slime molds
    grouped as protist
    and not as FUNGI?
    How can we can we
    say that an organism
    is a FUNGUS?
    FUNGI
    KINGDOM
    What are Fungi?
    • They are SAPROTROPHS
    • They are decomposers
    • They’re bodies are
    described as mycelium.
    • They reproduce asexually
    by spore formation and
    budding.
    How do fungi differ from
    plants?
    How do fungi differ from
    plants?
    • Their cell walls are made of
    chitin.
    • They do not have chlorophyl
    • They do not undergo
    photosynthesis
    • They do not have roots,
    leaves, stems, flowers, fruits
    Groups of Fungi
    1. Symbiotic Fungi – some plants
    depend on for their needed soil
    nutrients.
    2. Beneficial Fungi – provides numerous
    drugs.
    3. Edible Fungi – can be consumed by
    humans.
    4. Pathogenic Fungi – causing diseases
    5. Parasitic Fungi – causes harm to its
    host.
    III. Mushroom Varieties
