Protist classification• eukaryotic
• mostly unicellular
• The protist kingdom is a “dumping ground” –includes organisms that have exceptions to the many rules that scientists attempt to apply to them.

Protozoa
• Heterotrophic (eat dead things or other organisms)
• No cell walls• Are all capable of asexual
reproduction usually by binary fission
![Page 5: PROTISTS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ab6550346895da2b8a4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What distinguishes these? By
locomotion

Animal-like Protists-ProtozoaPhylum Sarcodinian -move with pseudopods
-ex. amoebas (& foraminifera and radiolaria) -One type of amoeba causes dysentery.
Phylum Ciliphora - ciliates (cilia)-ex Paramecium, Blepharisma, Stentor & Vorticella.
Phylum Zooflagellates - flagellates also called zoomastigina. Many cause disease in humans. -ex Trypanosoma which causes African s.s.; or Giardia
Phylum Sporozoa -nonmotile, spore bearing, -all parasitic-ex. Plasmodium which causes malaria.

Mosquito Facts
• Mosquitoes are responsible for more human death than any other living creature.
• Male mosquitoes do not bite. The real risk is from female mosquitoes which bite when in search of a blood meal to provide protein for their eggs.
• Most adult mosquitoes live for about two weeks.
• There are over 2,500 species of mosquitoes in the world.
• The welts that appear after a mosquito leaves isn't from the bite - it's an allergic reaction to saliva the mosquito injected under the skin to prevent the blood from clotting
• Mosquitoes like dark areas and will suck the juice out of plants in order to live - including tree leaves, grass, shrubs, etc

AlgaePlant like Protists
• Autotrophic (all have chlorophyll a)• Have cell wall• Alga are divided by pigments, cell wall
types, and food storage compounds
FYI• Thallus - body portion of an algae• Blue green algae are not protists at all-- they are Cyanobacteria, a
moneran (lab)• Watch the green algae, because of their similarities with them, they are
probably the ancestors of modern plants

plasmodium

plasmodium– produces fruiting bodies
with gametes– gametes behave like
amoebas– two gametes meet-->

slime molds

Acrasiomycota
• Life Cycle– most of life as AMOEBA
• one nucleus• haploid
– in stress, come together • form “slug” or “grex”• send up fruiting body
– newly hatched cells are amoeba
