Classifying an organism’s nutritional mode Nutritional Mode Energy Source Carbon Source Photoautotroph thrive in habitats too cold, too hot, too • Prokaryotes Sunlight salty, too acidic, or too alkaline for any. CO eukaryote, Cyanobacteria, plants, algae Chemoautotroph 2 Inorganic chemicals – cause about half of all human diseases, and Some prokaryotes Photoheterotroph Sunlight – are more commonly benign or beneficial. Organic compounds Some prokaryotes (green sulfur bacteria) Chemoheterotroph Some prokaryotes & some protists All fungi and animals Organic compounds Autotrophs – make their own food using C from CO 2 Heterotrophs – obtain C from organic compounds they consume Mixotrophs – can use different sources of energy and carbon © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
PROTISTS: ancestral to all other eukaryotes • A diverse collection of eukaryotes – Most are aquatic (oceans, lakes & ponds), few are terrestrial (damp soil or leaf litter) & some are found in the bodies of other organisms – Most are unicellular, some are multi-cellular & some form colonies – Some are autotrophs, some are heterotrophs, and few are mixotrophs – Most undergo asexual reproduction via binary fission & some undergo sexual reproduction – Some are non-mobile and some are mobile (use pseudopodia, flagella, or cilia)
Protists obtain nutrition in a variety of ways: • Autotrophs: algae (single-celled, filamentous colonial & multi-cellular seaweeds) i. e. Green Algae: chlorophyll is the main pigment Chlamydomonas (flagella) Spirogyra Caulerpa Volvox (colony of (filamentous, (seaweed) flagellated non-mobile, but carried by cells) water currents)
Protists obtain nutrition in a variety of ways: • Heterotrophs: - Animal-like (protozoans): ingest bacteria/protists Amoeba proteus (pseudopodia)
Protists obtain nutrition in a variety of ways: • Heterotrophs: - Animal-like (protozoans): ingest bacteria/protists m u i in d i D m u i ec am r a P Vorticella Stentor Stylonychia Ciliates
Protists obtain nutrition in a variety of ways: Paramecium: a single-celled ciliate, which is heterotrophic and an accomplished predator.
Protists obtain nutrition in a variety of ways: • Heterotrophs: - Animal-like (protozoans): ingest bacteria/protists Peranema Fl s te la el ag Giardia Trichomonas Trypanasoma Unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa
Protists obtain nutrition in a variety of ways: • Mixotrophs are capable of photosynthesis and heterotrophy Euglena: a singlecelled flagellate with a photoreceptor & a shield of red pigment that allow it to orient itself and to move toward light. This is important for photosynthesis.
