Protists
Plantlike Protists
-
Euglenoids
-
euglenoids can be kind of similar to animals in that they can be heterotrophs when sunlight is not available
-
-
Dinoflagellates
-
Dinoflagellates have stiff plates that look like armor and then they also have flagella and when the flagella beat the dinoflagellates twirl
-
-
Diatoms
-
-
when diatoms die they fall to the bottom of lakes and they are used for some household scouring products
Plantlike protists are commonly known as algae, algae are autotrophs and have many different colors because they have many different pigments
Animal-like protists
protazoans (animal-like protists) similar to animals in that they are heterotrophs and can move to obtain food
Protazoans with cilia
-
cilia are hairlike projections from cells that move in a wavelike motion which helps ciliates move and obtain food
-
paramecia have two nuclei, one for everyday tasks and the other for reproduction
Paramecia usually reproduce asexually by binary fission but sometimes join together and exchange genetic material which is called conjugation
-
-
Protozoans with flagella
-
-
a lot of flagellates live inside of other organisms and help them which causes the other organisms to depend on them. this is called symbiosis and since they both benefit from it this specific type of symbiosis is called mutualism
-
Funguslike protists
Funguslike protists are similar to fungi in that they are heterotrophs, have cell walls, and use spores to reproduce
-
slime molds
-
sometimes the giant mass is multicellular which forms when there is not much food and other times it is one giant cell with many nuclei
