Lecture 2 Biology 1002
• Objectives1) Examine an example of a heterotrophic protist , Amoeba, that
use pseudopodia for movement and feeding.
2) Examine the plasmodial slime molds (Myxogastrida) and their
relation between their biology and their ecology.
• Three groups of protists use pseudopodia, cellular extensions, to move and often to feed.– Most species are heterotrophs that actively
hunt bacteria, other protists, and detritus.– Other species are symbiotic, including some
human parasites.– Little is known of their phylogenetic
relationships to other protists and they themselves are distinct eukaryotic lineages.
A diversity of protists use pseudopodia for movement and feeding
