Protozoans are the ancestors of the animal kingdom. We’ll discuss the evidence for that when we study the most primitive animals.

Protozoan Taxonomy
The protozoans, like all organisms, are classified into more specific groups. Protozoan taxonomy (classification) is based on….
• their mode of locomotion
![Page 8: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Protozoan Taxonomy
The protozoans, like all organisms, are classified into more specific groups. Protozoan taxonomy (classification) is based on….
• their mode of locomotion
• the number and type of nuclei they have

Locomotion among protozoans
• Flagella – long, whip-like; usually one or two
![Page 10: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Locomotion among protozoans
• Flagella – long, whip-like; usually one or two
• Cilia – short, bristle-like; hundreds to thousands
![Page 11: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Locomotion among protozoans
• Flagella – long, whip-like; usually one or two
• Cilia – short, bristle-like; hundreds to thousands
• Pseudopodia – pseudo = false; pod = foot
an extension of the cell membrane into which the cytoplasm flows creating a directional movement.

(sarco = meat; mastix = a whip; and
phora (Greek) to bear.

Kingdom: Protista Phylum: Sarcomastigophora
(sarco = meat; mastix = a whip; and
phora (Greek) to bear.
sarco – because they are hunters (meat eaters)mastix – refers to the flagellum that some have phora – they may bear a whip (the flagellum)

They capture their food by surrounding it with pseudopodia, which then create a food vacuole.

Process is called phagocytosis.
Enzymes from the cell’s lysosomes digest the food (bacteria, unicellular algae, and smaller protozoans)
![Page 21: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
After food is digested and the nutrients are absorbed into the cytoplasm, the vacuole (now called a waste vacuole) moves to the cell membrane, opens up, and squirts the wastes into the environment.
![Page 22: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
After food is digested and the nutrients are absorbed into the cytoplasm, the vacuole (now called a waste vacuole) moves to the cell membrane, opens up, and squirts the wastes inot the environment.
This is called reverse phagocytosis.

Ameoba reproduction is called binary fission (mitosis).
![Page 24: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ameoba reproduction is called binary fission (mitosis).
• DNA replicates and divides into two nuclei
![Page 25: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ameoba reproduction is called binary fission (mitosis).
• DNA replicates and divides into two nuclei
• Cell membrane pinches in and divides the ameoba into two amoebae.
![Page 26: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Binary fission involves only one parent and the resulting new Amoebae have the same DNA.
![Page 27: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Binary fission involves only one parent and the resulting new Amoebae have the same DNA.
Reproduction involving one parent and no exchange of DNA is called __________ reproduction.
![Page 28: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Binary fission involves only one parent and the resulting new Amoebae have the same DNA.
Reproduction involving one parent and no exchange of DNA is called asexual reproduction.
![Page 29: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Binary fission involves only one parent and the resulting new Amoebae have the same DNA.
Reproduction involving one parent and no exchange of DNA is called asexual reproduction.
This means that change (evolution) in amoebae is slow and can only result from mutations.

The flagellum beats to create a current that draws their prey (bacteria and smaller protozoans) to the collar. Then pseudopodia pull the food into the cell.

If food (bacteria & smaller protozoans) is available it is heterotrophic.
![Page 47: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

If food is not available, it has a eyespot (red in color) that is photosensitive.
The eyespot guides it to light and it becomes autotrophic.

Ciliates reproduce asexually by binary fission (mitosis).
They reproduce sexually by conjugation.
![Page 61: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
During conjugation two ciliates join by their oral groove, and exchange a portion of the DNA from their macronucleus.

Because there are two parent cells and an exchange of DNA it is considered sexual reproduction (as opposed to asexual reproduction which involves one parent and no exchange of DNA).
![Page 63: Intro to Protozoan Notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587df6791a28abab7e8b5de1/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Because there are two parent cells and an exchange of DNA it is considered sexual reproduction (as opposed to asexual reproduction which involves one parent and no exchange of DNA).
This mixing of genes leads to genetic diversity for the species and genetic diversity is the “raw material” for evolution.
