Kingdom Protista “ The Catch-All Kingdom” Protozoans

Slide 2

Characteristics

Characteristics

Single celled

Microscopic

Move independently – named for mechanism of movement

65,000 species

Most heterotrophic

Free-living or parasitic

All capable of asexual reproduction through binary or multiple fission

Some reproduce sexually through conjugation

Slide 3

Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction

Slide 4

Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction

Binary

fission

Slide 5

Schizogony

Schizogony

Asexual reproduction in multiple fission, as in Malaria

Slide 6

Classification

Classification

Currently based on HOW they MOVE

Reviewing this by looking at phylogeny

Slide 7

4 Phyla of Protozoans

Adaptations

Adaptations

Physiological mechanisms, like eyespots

Form cysts

Multiple nuclei

Slide 9

Evolution of Protista

Evolution of Protista

Prokaryotes – 3.5 billion years ago

Eukaryotes – 1.5 billion years ago

Protozoan thought to be descendents of first eukaryotes

Sarcodina

Sarcodina

40,000 species

Amoebas

Pseudopodia – most move

Cytoplasmic streaming

Eat other protists

Ecological roles:

forams – tests made from caco3 – sink to bottom and make limestone and chalk deposits

Radiolaria – t4ests made form sio2

Cause diseases like amebic dysentary

Slide 13

Sarcodina

Slide 14

Phylum Ciliophora

Phylum Ciliophora

8,000 species

Move using cilia

Pellicle, oral groove, gullet, macronucleus, micronucleus

Paramecium
