Protoctist Fungi
Virus
• They are microscopic acellular
infectious agents.
• They are forced parasites: they
reproduce using the host cell.
• Parts: Nucleic acid and capsid.
Some can have also an envelope.

6- PROTOCTIST
KINGDOM
• Protozoa
• Algae
Protozoa
• Unicellular organisms with
eukaryotic cell similar to an
animal one.
• Heterotrophic.
• They reproduce by binary
fission.
• They live in aquatic
environments or inside
other living things.
• They classify according to
their way of moving.
Amoeba Vorticella Trypanosoma
Importance of protozoa
• Free living species form part
of the zooplankton.
• Some species are symbionts
that live in the digestive
system of animals.
• Other species are parasites
causing: malaria, sleeping
sickness etc.
Malaria
“Braineating amoebas”
Algae
• Eukaryotic organisms.
• Unicellular or simple multicellular.
• Autotrophic. They have chloroplasts.
• They are usually aquatic. Some float on water
and others are attached to the substrate.
• Most unicellular algae float. Large algae are
sessile.
Why aren´t they considered plants?
• Colour green due to the • Colour brown due to • Mostly red due to a
clorophyll yellow pigment which reddish pigment that
• Unicellular and combined with hides the clorophyll

ocean floor depths
Importance of algae
• Primary producers of organic matter in marine
environments.
• They form phytoplankton together with
cianobacteria.
• Food industry.
• Pharmaceutical industry.
• Cosmetics.
What is phytoplankton?
Producers of
oxygen in aquatic
ecosystems
7- FUNGI KINGDOM
Characteristics
Cellular organization:
Unicellular or multicellular . No true tissues.
Type of cells: Eukaryotic cells with cell wall.
Nutrition:
Heterotrophic. Decomposers, parasites or symbiotic.
Reproduction:
Unicellular asexually by budding and multicellular
asexually with spores.
Yeasts
• Unicellular fungi.
• Some are parasites and others are
useful for human beings
(fermentation processes in the food
industry).
• Reproduction by budding.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Fermentation

Candida albicans
Candidiasis
Athlete´s foot
Trichophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum y Trichophyton interdigitale.
Multicellular fungi
• The cells group together in long filaments called hyphae
• Hundreds of hyphae intertwine and form the mycelium
Moulds
Penicillin (1928)
Mushrooms
• Their mycelium forms a
reproductive structure called
mushroom.
• Some are poisonous and some are
edible.
• Reproduction by spores.
