Transcript of The cell type and the size of most Protists is how they are picked out from the other 5 kingdoms....
The cell type and the size of most Protists is how they are picked out from the other 5 kingdoms. What
are cell type and size of many Protists?
Eucaryotic
Vary in size
Do not fit into other kingdoms
Within the Kingdom Protista some creatures are like animals, some are like plants and still others have
things in common with fungi. Protists can be sorted
into these groups.
The Protozoa are like animal protists
The Algae are like plant protists
The Slime or Water Moulds are like fungus protists
Protozoa are the Protists that don’t have a cell wall and they eat or feed off of other
creatures. Protozoa are told apart from one another by what they use to move themselves around. What three things are used by various
Protozoa to move themselves around?
Pseudopodia
Flagella
Cillia
What are the features of the Protozoa?
Feed on other organisms or dead matterSome scavengers and some parasites
Lack cell wallMost can move
Have a complex life cycle
What features lets us tell one Protozoa
from another Protozoa?
SizeShape
Method of movementHow they feed
What are the common names and Phylum
names of the four types of Protozoa?
Flagellates (Phylum zoomastigina)Sarcodines (Phylum Sarcodina)
Ciliates (Phylum Ciliophora)Sporazoans (Phylum Sporazoa)
What type of Protozoa causes African sleeping
sickness (page 141)?
Typanosoma brucei
What type of Protozoa causes Amoebic
dysentery (page 145)?
Entamoeba hystolotica
What type of Protozoa causes a form of malaria
(page 146)?
Plasmodium vivax
The bodies of what type of protozoa form the
White cliffs of Dover (page 141)?
Foraminifera
Slime Moulds and Water Moulds are weird creatures with a capital W. They have cell walls of cellulose, they aren’t photosynthetic, and they make spores. Slime Moulds and Water Moulds can placed into three different Phylums based upon the steps in reproduction and how they feed, and what large structure they form.What structure does each type of Slime Mold and Water Mold make when they reproduce? (I don’t mean babies)
Spores
How are Slime Molds and Water Molds like
Plants? (Two ways)
Cellulose cell walls
Produce spores
How are Slime Molds and Water Molds
like Animals? (one way)
Ingest food
Move
How are Slime Molds and Water Molds like Fungus? (two ways)
Saprobes
Feed be releasing enzymes
Produce spores
A creature called Phytophthora infestans was responsible for the Great Potato Famine in Ireland. Which kingdom does this creature
belong in?
Kingdom Protista
Algae are the only protists that perform photosynthesis. Algae are placed into six different Phyla based upon whether they are single
celled or multicelled and what their main photopigment is.
Algae NameMain Photopigment Single Celled and / or
Multicelled
Green Algae Chlorophyll Multicellular
Browm algae Chlorophyll multicellular
Red algae Chlorophyll multicellular
Diatoms Chlorophyll Multicellular
Dinoflagellates Chlorophyll Multicellular
Euglenoids Chlorophyll multicellular
What can Algae do that other Protists cannot do?
photosynthesize
What features lets us tell one type of Algae from
another?
Type of chlorophyllChemistry of cell walls
Number and position of flagellaForm that food reserves take in the cell
Why were Algae thought of as plants in the past? Why are they not considered plants
anymore?
Contained chlorophyll
Do not have leaves, stems, roots, and water conducting tissues
What type of Algae is used as an
ingredient in Toothpaste (page 149)?
Diatoms
Why might Euglena be misnamed as a
type of Algae (page 150)? (two reasons)
Over half contain chloroplasts
What is the common name for multicellular
Algae?
seaweed
