Anaerobic, possess mitochondria and flagella. Animal endoparasites or endosymbionts. |
|
|
Trichomonas vaginalis |
Causes trichomoniasis, an STD. |

|
Sarcodina |
Non-pathogenetic amoeba |

Paramecium |
Phylum Ciliophora. Have cilia. Usually have two nuclei- one for repoductuon, one for metabolism |

Plasmodium vivax |
Causes malaria |
|
|
Stramenopiles |
A diverse group including the diatoms, brown algae and water molds |
|
|
Phaeophyta (brown algae) |
Multicellular, cellulose and alginic acid in cell wall. Chlorophyll a&c, xanthophylls |
|
|
Rhodophyta (red algae) |
Multicellular, cellulose cell wall, chlorophyll a&d, phycobiliproteins |
|
|
Chlorophyta (green algae) |
Unicellular or multicellular, cellulose cell wall, chlorophyll a&b, gave rise to plants |
|
|
Bacillariophyta (diatoms) |
Unicellular, pectin&silica cell wall, chlorophyll a&c, carotene, xanthophylls. Stores oil- fossils harvested for fossil fuels |
|
|
Dinoflagellates (phylum pyrrophyta) |
Around 1000 species, two flagella, most are autotrophic but some are heterotrophs, store excess food as starch, have cell walls |
|
|
Dinoflagellata |
Unicellular, cellulose plasma membrane, chlorophyll a&c, carotene, symbionts in marine animals |
|
|
Oomycota (water molds) |
Multicellular, cellulose cell wall, chemoheterotrophic, decomposers |
|
|
Slime molds |
Originally considered fungi, but now several separate groups. Start off as ameoboid but form plasmodia (many nuclei but no cell membrane). Plasmodia can be meters long. Form fruiting bodies similar to fungi but release amoeboid cysts |
