PROTISTS
PROTISTS
COMMON EXAMPLES: Amoeba, paramecium, euglena, volvox, plasmodium
EUKARYOTIC
Have a nuclear membrane
VERY DIVERSE GROUP
most are unicellular, microscopic, aerobic
Some are autotrophic, heterotrophic, sexual, asexual
PROTISTS
EXCRETION AND
OSMOREGULATION
Water balance = osmoregulation
Done by contractile vacuole
Wastes removed by diffusion
RESPIRATION
Carbon dioxide and oxygen diffuse in
and out
PROTISTS
REPRODUCTION
Asexual
Mitosis and cytokinesis
Budding
Sexual
Meiosis
Conjugation
PROTISTS
DOMAIN
EUKARYOTA
KINGDOM PROTISTA
Any eukaryote that is
not classified as a
fungus, plant, or
animal is a PROTIST
PROTISTS
ANIMAL LIKE PROTISTS =
PROTOZOA
Classified by method of movement
PLANT LIKE PROTISTS = ALGAE
Classified by pigment color
FUNGUS LIKE PROTISTS = MOLDS
Classified by body form
PROTISTS
PROTIST CLASSFICATION
Separated by feeding habits (nutrition)
Autotrophic
Able to make own food
Photosynthetic – 30-40% of all photosynthesis
worldwide is done by algae
Heterotrophic
Must eat other material
Unicellular
May be predators, decomposers, or parasites
