Kingdom Protista “little creature” called Protists All Protists have a Nucleus and are Eukaryote Microorganisms 3 Types of Protozoans Plant-Like Protozoans Animal-like Protozoans are Autotrophs Autotrophs are Producers Fungus-like Protozoans are are Heterotrophs Heterotrophs Heterotrophs are consumers Heterotrophs are consumers auto = self hetero = different troph = feeding organism troph = feeding organism feeding organisms that eat different things to get energy self-feeding organisms produce their own food organisms use energy from sunlight or chemicals “little animal” that hunts and gathers other microbes as food Digests food in a stomachs called Vacuoles hetero = different troph = feeding organism feeding organisms that organisms eat different things to get energy Digestion gives of nitrogen that plants or creatures can use SIZE 1/5,000 to 1/50 of an inch in diameter – microscopic 4 Groups of Animal-like Protozoans Amoebae Flagellates uses pseudopodia (false feet) to move and surround food uses Flagella or “whip-like structure to move lives in water or moist places smallest protozoan has cell membrane but NO cell wall Ciliates uses Cilia or “hair-like” structures to move largest protozoan eats flagellate, amoebae, and bacteria found in water X Drive/Biology/ S. Miller Notes/ J.

Amoebae use pseudophodia (false feet) to move and surround food live in water Flagellates Ciliates Sporozoa
