Kingdom Protist Flashcards
one celled “first” “animals”
Protozoa
Most diverse of all eukaryotes.
Protists
primitive “first” “plants”
Protophyta
all one-celled eukaryotic organisms
were classified as
Protists
Protist group is considered
“all eukaryotic
cells that are not plants, animals, or fungi”
Protista live mostly in
Water
are organisms that drift or swim near
the surface of the water.
Plankton
_______ are protists that include ______ (autotrophs) and _______ (heterotrophs)
Microplankton
Phytoplankton
Zooplankton
are responsible for half of the world’s photosynthesis and O2
production.
Phytoplankton
may be autotrophic,
heterotrophic, or mixotrophic
organisms:
Protists
Autotrophic-
Heterotrophic-
Mixatrophic-
Photosynthetic: plant-like
Ingestive: animal-like
Absorptive: fungus-like
organisms combine
photosynthesis and food ingestion.
Some protozoa move with
cilia….They belong to a group known
as the
Ciliates or ciliaphora
Help protists swim and capture food
Cilia
a pump that will contract and pump excess water out of the cell.
Contractile vacuole
Some protists use___ for movement and feeding
Pseudopodia
False feet on amoeba
Pseudopodia
Plantlike protist
Algae
Which can be unicellular or multicellular
are a large group of plantlike
protists. Mostly photosynthetic, have one or
two flagella.
Euglenoids
moves toward the light, has a red
eyespot, which is light sensitive, movement
known as a positive phototropism.
Euglena
Multicellular algae are classified by their pigments
Green algae
Brown algae- kelp
Red algae
