Paramecium, amoebas,

Euglena, Hydra

Protists are classified by

scientists into 3 main groups –

Plant like protists, animal like

protists and fungus like protists

Plantlike Protists•Are commonly called

algae.

- Protists

•Plant like protists include euglena is a

common euglenoid that lives in fresh

water. In sunlight, many euglenas can

make their own food. Without sunlight,

they obtain food from their environment.

Animal-Like Protists are called

protozoans. •Paramecia are ciliates that live mostly in fresh water. paramecia feed on bacteria and smaller protists.

Animal-Like Protists•Amoebas are sarcodines that live in either water or soil. They get food by using their false feet –pseudopods to capture food like bacteria and smaller protists. . These are also used for transportation.
