overview of protists
Domain: Eukarya, Kingdom: Protista
-
could be split into 12 kingdoms, now 6 supergroups
most free-living, parasitic
-
some have glassy, silica-based shells
-
-
some life cycles simple, many extremely complex
-
-
-
Amoebozoa
Slime molds
moist, terrestrial habitats
-
-
-
Gymnamoeba
found in soil, freshwater, and marine habitats
move with fat pseudopodia, feeding on bacteria, other protists, detritus
-

-
-
Diversity of protists
-
motility
-
-
-
others form cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia, anchor the pseudopodia to a substrate, and pull themselves forward
-
reproduction
-
sexual reproduction
common among protists, involves meiosis and fertilization
-
-
Protist life-cycles
-
-
-
-
Alternation of generations: a strategy where protists have multicellular stages in both haploid and diploid forms
-
-
-
Chromalveolata
Stramenopiles
-
-
brown algae
-
-
-
-
-
-
Ex: Kelp (Laminaria and others)—humans eat it, and algin is used as commercial food. thickener
Oomycetes
filamentous, multinucleate, absorptive heterotrophs; some infest plants
-
-
-
-
-
Alveolates
-
apicomplexans
-
-
-
complex life cycles: requires more than one host, multiple forms
Ex: plasmodium, causes malaria
-
-
Ex: Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium
-
Rhizarians
-
Foraminiferans
unicellular, mostly marine plankton
-
-
-
Excavata
-
-
Eugleozoans
-
-
-
Ex: Eugelnas - free-living, aquatic autotrophs with green chloroplasts or heterotroph or mixotroph
-
Ex: Trypanosoma—blood parasite, causes sleeping sickness (carried by tse tse fly)
Origin of Eukaryotes
-
secondary endosymbiosis
unique plastids came from eukaryotic, symbiotic alga cells.
Archaeplastida
Red algae
mostly marine, multicelluar seaweeds
