Protists and Fungi
Protists
Most protists are producers. They make their own
food through photosynthesis. These protist producers are called algae.
Most algae live in water.
All types of algae are
green. Most algae is red
algae. Most protists are
made of only one cell.
Some are multicellular
and like in colonies. Some
protists are eukaryotic,
which means they have a
nucleus. Amoebas are a
type of protist. They use
pseudopodia to move and
to eat. Protists are
grouped together based
on similar characteristics.
Fungi
Fungi are eukaryotic,
have rigid cell walls.,
and have chlorophyll.
Also, fungi was placed
in its own kingdom.
One type of fungus is
mold, mold is shapeless
and fuzzy. The largest
group of fungi is sac
fungi. Most fungi build
their cell walls out of
chitin. This is the same
material as outer shells
of insects.
Vocab
A producer is a protist that makes its own food.
Protists that get their food from the environment are
called Heterotrophs. These organisms get food from
eating other organisms and they cannot make organic
compounds from inorganic materials.
Have you ever heard of tapeworm, fleas, or a barnacle? If so then you know 3 examples of a Parasite. A
parasite is an organism that feeds on an organism of
another species.
A Host is an organism that provides parasites food or
shelter.
A type of protest that breaks down decaying organic
matter is a Decomposer.
Algae is a eukaryotic organism that converts the suns
energy into food through photosynthesis.
Phytoplankton - these things are microscopic photosynthetic organisms that float near the surface of marine or fresh water.
Tiny hair-like structures are called Cilia. A whip– like
tail or string is called a Flagella.
Foraminiferans have snail-like shells.
This is an example
of green algae.
This is a picture of
phytoplankton.
Parts of Fungi and
protists
A Diatom’s shell contains a glasslike substance called
silica.
A Marcronucleus controls the functions of a cell.
A Hypha is a threadlike fungal fiber.
Club Fungi is a group that gets its name from structures that the fungi grow during reproduction.
Budding occurs when yeasts reproduce asexually.
Fungi are eukaryotic heterophs that have bumpy or
rigid cell walls. They don't include chlorophyll. They
have a nucleus, and it belongs to the Fungi Kingdom.
A spore is a reproductive cell or multicellular structure that is resistant to stressful environmental conditions and can develop into an adult without fusing
with another cell.
The mass of fungal filaments , that forms the body
of a fungus is
Mycelium.
All Green Algae is singular and green from chlorophyll.
A Lichen is a combination of a fungus and an alga
that grow together.
Mold is a fungus that looks like wool or cotton.
The holes in these mushrooms are called
spores.
Checklist for Fungi
Fungi is a kingdom made up of non-green eukaryotic organisms that have no movement, reproduce by
using spores, and get food by breaking down substances
in their surroundings and absorbing the nutrients.
It grows by taking in nutrients and processing them.
Some different types of fungi are Blue Milk Mushroom,
Bitter oyster, Golden jelly fungus, the wrinkled peach, violet coral, rounded earthstar, coral fungi, the black morel, and Fly agaric.
Fungi reproduces by asexually reproduction.
Fungi get there food by eating other organisms .
Protist Checklist
The difference between plant like
and animal like protists is that animal like protists are heterotrophic.,
they are classified by how they
move. Plant like protists are photoautotrophs, which means they contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis.
Paramecium
A– A is the Micronucleus . It passes genes
to another paramecium during sexual reproduction.
B– B is a food vacuole . The food vacuole
helps food digest.
C– C is the Macronucleus, this controls the
functions in the cell.
