Protists

What Is a Protist

Plantlike Protists

Fungus-like Protists

Animal-Like Protists

not classified as animals, plants, or fungi.

most are unicellular

Some are multi cellular

Some are autographs and some are heterotrophs

Some can't move, some can

Like animals, animal-like protists are heterotrophs, and most are able to move from place to place to obtain food.

Protozoans With Pseudopods

Protozoans With Flagella

Protozoans that are parasites

Protozoans With Cilia

unicellular

Cilia is a hairlike projections from cells that move with a wavelike motion.

Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell.

Sweeps food into the organism

Pseudopods form when cytoplasm towards one location and the rest of the organism follows

Symbiosis is a close relationship in which at least one of the species benefits.

When both partners benefit from living together, the relationship is a type of symbiosis called mutualism

Parasites usually have more that one host

Parasites can spread diseases

(Algae)

Green algae

Diatoms

Brown algae

Dinoflagellates

Red algae

Euglenoids

live in most surroundings

Algae are autotrophs

Pigments are chemicals that produce color. Depending on their pigments algae can be green, yellow, red, brown, orange, or even black

Unicellular

Glasslike cell walls

Food source for heterotrophs in the water

Unicellular

variety of colors

glow in the dark

Green, unicellular algae that are found mostly in fresh water.

Heterotrophs when sunlight is not present

multicolored seweed

sometimes 260 below the ocean's surface

Some people eat this because it's nutritious

Either live in fresh water or salt water

Similar to plants on land

plantlike structures

Live in cool, rocky waters

Some people eat brown algae

A Spore is a tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism

Slime molds

Water Molds and Downy Mildews

Like fungi, fungus-like protists are heterotrophs have cell walls, and use spores to reproduce.

Live on forest floors, and other moist, dark places

Some are microscopic and others are meters long

They join together so they get bigger

live in water or moist places

look like fuzz

They attack many food crops
