Reasons why researchers difficulties categorizing and classifying the members of Kingdom Protista
-Lateral/horizontal gene transfer
- converegent evolution
- evolutionary reversals
- huge disparities between morphological and genetic traits
An itchy STD
trichomonas vaginalis
Brain tissue eating amoebiasis
Naegleria fowleri
Malaria
Plasmodium species
Intestinal distress
Giardia lamblia
Neurological damage and fetal abnormalities including miscarriage
Toxoplasma species
Visceral open sores on the body
Leishmania species
Chagas disease and African sleeping sickness
Trypanosoma species
An algae uses photons from the sun to convert Carbon Dioxide into sugar, which it then metabolizes to produce ATP
Photoautotroph
A kinetoplastid infects a host and derives organic nutrients from its host; it uses its host as a supply of organic Carbon and breaks down chemicals to generate energy
Chemoheterotrophs
An oomycete lives on a dead fish and slowly drains the nutrients from the fish as it decays, aiding in the process of decomposition
Absorptive heterotroph
A euglenid can use its eyespot to move forward sunlight and carry out photosynthesis ; when sunlight is not sufficient, it can switch to heterotrophic forms of metabolism
Mixotroph
