Protista Kingdoms First of all you need to

Protista

Kingdoms • First of all you need to make sure that somewhere on your paper you have listed the kingdoms. You can do this on the back. • • • Protista Animalia Plantae Fungi Eubacteria Archaebacteria • You also need to know that there are three types of protists. Put this on your paper also. • Plant like protist • Animal like protist • Fungi like protist

Protist Vs. Bacteria • All Bacteria are Prokaryotic (do not have a nucleus in their cells) • Some Protists are prokaryotic, some are Eukaryotic (have a nucleus)

Characteristics of Plant like Protists • Cell Walls • Chlorophyll • Autrotrophs (make their own food) • Can be unicellular or multicellular • Reproduce by asexual reproduction (1 parent)

Characteristics of Animal Like Protists • Ability to move • Heterotrophs

Characteristic of Fungi like Protists • Hetertrophs (decomposers)

Amoeba • Have false feet called Pseudopodia • Eat by hunting their prey and engulfing it (called Phagocytosis) • Like a paramecium they have a contractile vacuole and place food in food vacuoles for digestion.

Paramecium • Definite shape • Surrounded by cilia (hair like structures they use for locomotion) • Have a mouth pore and an anal pore • They eat by endocytosis (taking the food into their mouth pore)

Euglena (not on your sheet, but on the test) • Has a Flagella (whip like structure they use for locomotion) • Have an eye spot to locate prey • Have chloroplasts and chlorophyll • These protists can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic!!!
