1. KEY CONCEPT Kingdom Protista is the most diverse of all the kingdoms.

2. Protists can be animal-like, plantlike, or funguslike. Protists are eukaryotes (meaning they have a nucleus and other organelles) that are not animals, plants, or fungi.

5. no roots, stems, or leaves Kelp Diatoms

9. Molecular evidence supports reclassification.Know this!!

10. KEY CONCEPTAnimal-like protists are single-celled heterotrophs that can move.

11. Animal-like protists move in various ways. macronucleus contractile vacuole food vacuole oral groove micronucleus cilia Animal-like protists are often called protozoa.

14. amoebashttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWIMxW-GkQ&feature=related

16. change shape as they move

17. amoebas and…Forams

20. Sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosomaand spread by flies.

21. A giardia infection is caused by Giardia and spread through water. Malaria Infection

22. KEY CONCEPTAlgae are plantlike protists.

23. Plantlike protists can be single-celled or multicellular. colony daughter colony Photosynthetic plantlike protists are called algae. Volvox

24. Protists (Diatoms) Do photosynthesis, but are protected by a silica (glass) shell

26. some heterotrophic

27. single-celled

29. may be bioluminescent

30. have stiff protective plates

31. can cause red tideDinoflagellates

33. Brown algae contain chlorophyll c.

34. Red algae contain chlorophyll a and phycoerythrin.thickening agents used in ice cream like agar and carrageen come from Red Algae!

36. Multicellular algae can fragment.

40. decomposers, like fungi

42. Cellular slime molds contain independent cells.Watch ‘em move: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SdadVrVMK4

44. made of branching strands of cells

45. can be parasites of plants or fish

47. Fungal cell walls are made of chitin.

48. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose.

49. Plants have chlorophyll and photosynthesize.

51. mycellium

53. Sac fungi form a reproductive sac, or ascus.

54. Yeasts are single-celled sac fungi.

58. Yeasts reproduce asexually through budding.

61. KEY CONCEPTFungi recycle nutrients in the environment.

63. return nutrients to the soil

68. as food

69. as antibioticsBecause Yeasts have many of the same genes and proteins found in plants AND animals, yeasts (and other fungi) are used as model systems for molecular biology
