NW C2 YA Mind Map #4 Pgs. 74-83
What is a protist?
Protists are Eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants or fungi. because they are so different from each other, protists is often referred to as the odds and ends kingdom
Animal Like Protists
Like animals, animal like protists are heterotrophs, and most are able to move from place to place to obtain food.
Protozoans with Flagella
An example of this type of protozoan, or flagellate, is a giardia. being a flagellate meant the use a whiplike flagella to move. these specific flagellates are a parasite in the water of streams, that when consumed by humans attaches to the inside of their intestine, where it reproduces. this gives the persona condition called hikers disease.
Protozoans With Pseudopods
The specific protozoans, such as amoebas, move and feed by creating pseudopods, or false feet, and then filling their cytoplasm to that location, effectively moving the organism in that direction
Protozoans With Cilia
An example of a protozoan with cilia is a paramecium. they use this cilium to move through the water and the make the food go in their mouth. cilia are like little hairs, that are able to be moved as a group, such as to swim through the water.
Protozoans that are parasites
this fourth type is classified by how they live, rather than how they move. an example of a parasitic protozoan is plasmodium. plasmodium is a type of parasite, which means they attach to what they live in or on, also know as the host, and get energy form it and usually reproduce in it.
Plantlike Protists
Diatoms
they are unicellular protists with pretty, glass-like cell walls. they glide through slime they create while bobbing near the surface of lakes and oceans.
Dinoflagellates
They are unicellular algae that look like they have a suit of armor. all dinoflagellates have 2 flagella, and most of them glow in the dark. because of this, they often light up when disturbed in the water by a swimmer or boat, making the water seemingly glow on its own.
euglenoids
Euglenoids are green, unicellular algae that are found mostly in freshwater. they are plantlike because of features such as chloroplasts, but they do have a flagellum so they can move.
Red algae
it is a type of unicellular seaweed. it is a type of seaweed that is found about 260 meters down. it is used in a lot of things, including hair conditioner and ice cream.
Green algae
green algae is the type you might encounter when swimming in the lake., it is a unicellular organism that is mostly harmless, but can carry some bacteria, especially when it forms a colony and has a lot of it together so it is very visible.
Brown algae
Many things commonly called seaweeds are brown algae. they can not only be brown, but green, yellow and red. it can grow very long to reach the surface, up to about 100 meters.
Funguslike Protists
Water Molds and Downy Mildews
they live in moist places, often growing on fish and other underwater plants. the can also attack many food crops on land, such as potatoes and corn and grapes. this was actually the cause of the irish potato famine in 1845 and 1846.
Slime Molds
slime molds are small or large, brilliantly colored blobs that are all over in moist, dark places, most often forests and woods. the seem to be made of many little bubbles, which can be multiple cells when the weather is accommodating, and can be one visible cell with many nuclei when the weather in not accomadating
