Kingdom Protista

The most diverse kingdom.
1. Protist range from unicelluarmicroscrope to giant multicelluar orgra nisms that can grow up till 300 feet.
  1. Protozoans
    1. Ameoba
      1. Are protoans that have no cell wall outside of their cell membrane they move by formin fake feet
        The blob-like protoans
        Called pseudopia- cytoplasm containing extendtion of an ameoba's cell membrane
      2. Asexually
    2. Animal like protists
    3. Flagellates
      1. Protozoans that move with flagella
      2. Flagellates-move by whipping their tail from side to side.
      3. EX= Giaordia
      4. Asexually
    4. Ciliates
      1. The most complex protozoans
      2. move by sychrnizea beating of their liliathat covers their entire body
      3. EX= Paramecium
      4. Live in aquatic ecosystems
      5. Asexually
    5. Sporozoans
      1. The Parasitic Protozoan
      2. live in a host
      3. Reproduce through spores
      4. EX= Plasmodium-protist that lives in mosqutio and causes malaria
  2. Algae- plant like protrists that Photosynthesize
    1. Euglenoids- are unicelluar protist that animals like and plant like like characteristic
      1. Plant-like because they have chrolplast they photosythesize
      2. Animal -like because they move and consume. No cell wall
      3. DIatoms- are called the Golden Algae. undergo photosythesis, their shells are made up of silica
        Part of phyto planketon
        Dinoflagellate-are called the Spining Algae. Unicelluar organisms that contain three to four flagella
        Their main pigment is phycobilins(red)
