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
