Protists
List the characteristics of all protists.
Protists:
• are the “odds and ends” kingdom
• are eukaryotes (cells contain a
nucleus)
• live in moist surroundings
• are very diverse
List the 3 types of protists and the
characteristics of each.
Types of protists:
1. animal-like protists are all
heterotrophs and unicellular.
2. plantlike protists are mostly
autotrophs, provide food and
oxygen, are both unicellular and
multicellular, and come in a variety
of colors.
3. funguslike protists are
heterotrophs (like animals), have
cell walls (like plants), use spores
to reproduce, and are able to
move at some point.
List the 4 types of animal-like
protists and the characteristics of
each.
Animal-like protists:
1. sarcodines move using
pseudopods, have a contractile
vacuole (releases water), and live
in soil or water.
Ex/ amoeba
2. ciliates move using cilia, have 2
contractile vacuoles, 2 nuclei, and
live in water.
3. flagellates move using flagella.
4. parasites
List the 6 types of plantlike protists
(algae).
Plantlike protists:
1. diatoms
2. dinoflagellates
3. euglenoids
4. red algae
5. green algae
6. brown algae
List the 3 types of funguslike
protists.
Funguslike protists:
1. slime molds
2. water molds
3. downy mildews
attack crops
