Kingdom Protista
PROTOZOANS
Animal-like Protists
General Characteristics
• Single-celled or unicellular organisms;
• Size = microscopic (3 to 1,000 microns).
• No germ layers, tissues, or organs;
• However, specialized intracellular
"organelles" are present
General Characteristics
• Locomotion by pseudopodia, flagella, or cilia.
• Symmetry = all types (bilateral, radial, or
asymmetrical)
• Free living, commensal, parasitic, or
mutualistic
• Mostly naked, but few have simple
protective exoskeletons (tests). Ex. = Arcella
4
Animal-like protists
•classified by the structure used for movement:
1) Cilia -
2) Flagellum(a) -
•Coordinated
movement between
individual cilia
•Back and forth
wave motion
tiny beating hair-like structures
whip-like tail(s)
•All heterotrophs
5
3) Pseudopodia -
Animal-like protists
projection of cytoplasm that
sticks out like a foot (“false
foot”)
4) Sessile - No locomotion (_________)movement
General Characteristics
• Nutrition = heterotrophic, parasitic
• Reproduction: asexual = longitudinal and
transverse binary fission, budding,
• Reproduction: sexual - conjugation
