Protist Kingdom
Protozoans: Animal-like Protists
Protists
What are they?
•Unicellular, eukaryotic, auto & heterotrophic
Where do they live?
•Where there is water
•Inside other organisms

What kinds of Protists are there?
•Asexual reproduction
•Requires 1 parent
•All offspring are identical
Ameboids
Move by pseudopods
4 based on how they move
Group
Amoeboids
Ciliates
Flagellates
Movement
Pseudopods
(false feet)
Example
Ameba
Cilia
Paramecium
Flagella
Euglena
•Blob-like
•Use pseudopods to engulf food
Important parts:
Pseudopods:
Food vacuole:
Movement and ingestion
Stores and digests food.
Contractile Vacuole:
Sporozoans
Cannot move
Plasmodium
(Malaria)
Pumps out excess water
Ciliates
Flagellates
Move by cilia
Cilia- Hair-like projections
ex: paramecium
ex: Euglena
•Can make and/or get their own food.
•Autotrophic / Heterotrophic
Important parts:
Pellicle: Hard outer covering
Important parts:
Flagellum- Whip-like tail
Oral groove: Mouth (ingestion)
Chloroplast- Makes food
Gullet: Tube that leads to vacuole
Anal Pore-
Move by a flagellum (flagella)
Eyespot-
Eliminates wastes
Senses light
