Biology - Protists

Front 1

Photosynthetic
Autotrophs
Use chlorophyll and other pigments

Back 1

Plant like Protists

Front 2

Protozoan
All unicellular heterotrophs
Grouped by the way they move either cilia, or flagella.

Back 2

Animal like Protists

Front 3

Produce spores for reproduction

Back 3

Fungus like Protists

Front 4

Unicellular, colonial, or Multicellular
Can come in green, red or brown
Use Chromoplast as well as chloroplast
Largest algae-kelp
Produce a big portion or the worlds oxygen

Back 4

Algae

Front 5

Unicellular or colonial

Back 5

Euglenoids

Front 6

Have shells made of silica(glass)
Use caroteniods instead of chlorophyll
Used in some glitters, abrasives, reflective paints, and pesticides

Back 6

Diatoms

Front 7

2 or more flagella
Marine plankton- live on the surface of seawater
Produce toxins
Cause red tide
Bioluminescence

Back 7

Dinoflagellates

Front 8

Move using pseudopods- extensions of their cytoplasm
Eating using a process called phagocytosis- suing pseudopods to surround and engulf food
Ex. Amoeba- can cause amoebic dysentery

Back 8

Amoeboid organisms

Front 9

Use cilia to move
2 nuclei
Macronucleus- used for day-to-day protein making
Micronucleus- used in reproduction

Back 9

Ciliates

Front 10

Non- motile- do not have a way to make themselves move
Parasitic- cause diseases like malaria

Back 10

Sporozoa

Front 11

Use flagella to move
Non parasitic
Termites have a Protists called trichonympha living in their gut to digest the wood
Parasites
Cause chagas disease and African sleeping sickness

Back 11

Flagellates

Front 12

Plasmodium- groups of cells that merge together to form a blob
Saprophyte- eat dead of decaying organisms

Back 12

Slime Molds

Front 13

Parasite
Hyphae- groups of cells that join to form long strings of cells

Back 13

Parasites
