Kingdom Protista

Eukaryotic
Live in moist areas
Mostly unicellular but can be multi-

cellular
Can be heterotrophic, autotrophic or
both
Grouped into 3 main groups- plantlike,
animal-like, fungus-like

What is a Eukaryote?
Eukaryotic- is a
classification of
cells
They are not plant,
animal or fungus
Eukaryotes- contain

a nucleus and DNA

Multi vs Uni Cellular

Unicellular- one cell

Multi-cellular- more than one cell

Heterotroph vs Autotroph
Heterotrophic-

cannot make its own

food
Autotrophic- Can
make its own food
Both- can make own
food or ingest other
stuff as well

What is a protozoan?
An animal-like
protist classified
according to how
they move
Pseudopodia
Ciliates
Flagellates
Parasites

Pseudopodia
Pseudopod means
false foot
Temporary bulges in

cell (like Bob on

Monsters vs Aliens)
An amoeba is a
pseudopod

Ciliates
Ciliates- protists

with cilia
Cilia- hair-like
projections from a
cell that move with a
wavelike motion, like
oars on a boat
A Paramecium is a
ciliate

Flagellates

Flagellates- protists

with flagella
Flagella- whip-like tail
for moving
can have more than
one
Flagellates live inside
other organisms
Can be good
relationship or bad
Euglena is a flagellate

Parasites
Feed and live on the

cells of its host

Host- the organism a
parasite lives on or
in,
Can have flagella,
move around with
host or produce a
slime that allows it to
move

How do they remove waste?

Contractile Vacuole-

collects excess water

and waste and
squishes it outside
the cell
Anal Pore- a point
where waste leaves a
cell

How do they eat?

Oral groove- a groove in

the cell, floats over

food and absorbs into
cell
Pseudopod- surrounds
food and absorbs
Eye spot- creates food
with photosynthesis
Chloroplasts- absorb
sunlight and convert to
energy
Flagella- guides food
into oral groove

Reproduction
Asexual reproduction- a mode of reproduction by

which offspring comes from a single parent, and

inherit the genes of that parent only
Sexual reproduction- a process that creates a new
organism by combining the genetic material of two
organisms

Amoeba
Movement- Pseudopod
Waste- contractile
vacuole
Nutrients- surrounding
it with Pseudopods and
absorbs
Reproduction- asexual
Autotroph, Heterotroph
or both?

Paramecium
Movement- cilia
Waste- anal pore &
contractile vacuole

Nutrients-oral
groove
Reproduction- sexual
Autotroph,
Heterotroph or both?

Plantlike Protists
Often called algae, are

autotrophs, can be
unicellular or multi-cellular
Often live in coloniesgroups of a couple cells up
to thousands
Diatoms- unicellular,
grasslike
Dinoflagellates- have two
flagella, glow in the dark
Euglenoids- are autotrophs
but can be heterotrophs,
have flagella

Euglena
Movement- flagella

Waste- contractile

vacuole
Nutrients- makes own
food through
photosynthesis (eye
spot) or takes in other
Reproduction- asexual
Autotroph, Heterotroph
or both?

Volvox
Movement- flagella

Waste- contractile

vacuole
Nutrients- makes food
using chloroplasts
(photosynthesis)
Reproduction- both
asexual and sexual
Live in colonies
Autotroph, Heterotroph

or both?
