Overview: A World in a Drop of Water
• Even a low-power microscope
   – Can reveal an astonishing menagerie of organisms
     in a drop of pond water




                    50 m
The Protozoa
Characteristic Protist
• These amazing organisms
   – Belong to the diverse kingdoms of mostly single-
     celled eukaryotes informally known as protists

• Advances in eukaryotic systematics
   – Have caused the classification of protists to change
     significantly.

• Protists are more diverse than all other eukaryotes
   – And are no longer classified in a single kingdom

• Most protists are unicellular
  – And some are colonial or multicellular
Characteristic Protist (Continuous)

• Protists, the most nutritionally diverse of all
  eukaryotes, include
   – Photoautotrophs, which contain chloroplasts
   – Heterotrophs, which absorb organic molecules or
     ingest larger food particles
   – Mixotrophs, which combine photosynthesis and
     heterotrophic nutrition

• Protist habitats are also diverse in habitat
      • And including freshwater and marine species
Habitat of Protist
Reproduction of Protist

• Reproduction and life cycles
  – Are also highly varied among protists, with both
     sexual and asexual species

Alveolata: Apicomplexa; Plasmodium sp.
Apicomlexa; Malaria
Alveolata: Ciliates

• Ciliates, a large varied group of protists
   – Are named for their use of cilia to move and feed
   – Have large macronuclei and small micronuclei
• The micronuclei
   – Function during conjugation, a sexual process that
       produces genetic variation
• Conjugation is separate from reproduction
   – Which generally occurs by binary fission
