3. Protozoans – the animal-like protists
Algae- The plant like protists
Key Characteristics:
•Autotrophs
• Use chloroplasts to make food.
• Examples include Euglenoids, Dinoflagellates, Diatoms and Seaweeds.
euglenoid
Example: Euglena
Example: plankton
Dinoflagellates and Diatoms
Diatoms
Green Algae
Provides most of the Earth’s oxygen!
Brown Algae
Known as kelp and used for food.
Red Algae
Slime molds- the fungus like protistsKey Characteristics:• Heterotrophic
• Decomposers- Feed on dead plants and animals
• Examples include Plasmodial slime molds, Cellular slime molds, Water molds
Slime Molds
Protozoans- the Animal like protists
Key Characteristics:• Heterotrophic
• Most have projections used for movement.
• Examples: Ciliates, Zooflagelletes, Amoeboids (Apicomplexans)
Ciliates
Cilia
Example: Paramecium
ZooFlagelletes
Example: Giardia
Flagella
Amoeboids
