The document discusses the kingdom Protista, which includes a diverse group of organisms such as algae, fungi-like protists, and protozoans. Protozoans are single-celled eukaryotic organisms that feed heterotrophically and exhibit diverse mobility mechanisms. They are classified into several phyla based on their methods of movement, which include using whip-like flagella, temporary projections called pseudopods, or hair-like cilia. Some protists are not free-living and are parasitic, producing spores. The document also briefly mentions several phyla of algae and fungus-like protists.

1. KINGDOM PROTISTA

2. What are protist?
• Large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae),
fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans).
• “Dumping site of hard t classify organisms”

3. PROTOZOANS-Animal like Protist
• mostly single-celled eukaryotic organism that feed heterotrophically and
exhibit diverse mechanisms of mobility.

4. PHYLUM ZOOMASTAGINA
• single-celled organisms with one or more whip-like flagella which they use to
assist them in moving.
• “Zooflagellates”
Trypanosoma gambiense

5. PHYLUM SARCODINA
• Move by temporary projections called pseudopods.

6. PHYLUM CILIOPHORA
• Protist with cilia-”Hair-like projections”
Paramecium

7. PHYLUM SPOROZOA
• Not free-living and are parasytic.
• They produce spores.
“Malaria”
-Plasmodium sp.

8. PHYLUM EUGLENOPHYTA
• Plant-like protists that have two flagella but have no cell wall.

9. PHYLUM PYRROPHYTA
• Dinoflagellates-has two flagella often wrapped around the organisms
circumference.
Redtide

10. PHYLUM CHRYSOPHYTA
• Includes the yellow green algae and the golden brown algae.
Golden-brown Algae
Yellow Green Algae

11. GREEN ALGAE IN YELLOW SEA IN CHINA

12. PHYLUM BACILLARIOPHYTA
• Includes diatoms, one of the most
abundant organisms on earth.

13. FUNGUS LIKE PROTIST
• Lack chlorophyll and absorb food through their cell walls.

14. PHYLUM ACRASIOMYCOTA
• It include slime molds

15. PHYLUM MYXOMYCOTA
• Acellular slime molds.

16. PHYLUM OOMYCOTA
• Water molds
