A Key to
Some Interesting Creatures from Kingdom Protista
The Kingdom Protista contains both one-celled and multi-celled organisms. Most are VERY small – most
cannot be seen without a microscope. They live in aquatic habitats (water) and most eat bacteria, other
small organisms or particles they find in the water with them. A few protists can make their own food –
these are known as algae. You will probably not find all of these protists in your pond water, but take a
close look at your slide – you may see one of the organisms pictured below. These amazing little creatures
are often quite fast and may swim out of your sight – so keep a close eye on your microscope!
AMOEBAS:
Amoebas are oddly
shaped protists that move by extending
parts of their body as little feet
(pseudopods) and then pulling the rest
of the body behind. They are animallike prtotists that eat by surrounding a
piece of food with their pseudopods
and then taking it into the inside of their
bodies where it is slowly digested.
Amoeba live in water or moist
environments. Some amoeba are
parasites that can live in larger animals
(like us!) and make them very sick.
DINOFLAGELLATES:
Dinoflagellates
are a type of algae that can make their own
food like plants. They move with little
whips called flagella that they swing like
propellers through the water. They have
hard cell walls like armor surrounding their
body. Sometimes the number of these
creatures becomes so great in the ocean
that it makes animals in the water (like fish
and people) very sick. This is called “red
tide” because the dinoflagellates are
brownish and turn the water red.

EUGLENAS:
Euglenas are protists that
move with little whips called flagella that they
swing like propellers through the water.
Euglena are interesting because they are a
sort of combination of plant and animal. They
can make their own food like a plant, but they
can also eat other things, like an animal. They
have an “eyespot” which can detect light and
dark like a very simple eye.
PARAMECIUM:
The paramecium is entirely
covered in little “hairs” called cilia that it waves in order
to swim through the water. The paramecium also
sweeps food into its “mouth” with its cilia.
VOLVOX:
These protists are actually individual cells of
algae that have formed a spherical (round) colony. Each
volvox colony can contain over 500 cells that cling to the
hollow ball of mucilage. Amazingly, each cell has flagella that
will whip in the same direction as others to propel the volvox
through the water! The balls you see inside of the volvox are
actually daughter colonies that have formed from one cell
inside of the colony. Volvox can reproduce both sexually and
asexually. Eventually when the mother colony breaks apart
the daughters will become their own free colonies. From their
green color, can you guess how they get food?

Kelp:
Kelp, also known as brown algae, lives under the sea.
It is, essentially, seaweed that thrives on sunlight and
nutrients and minerals present in the water around it. Kelp
looks like a plant, but is not a true plant. Like other seaweeds,
it does not have the vascular tissue that makes up true leaves,
stems and roots. Vascular tissue allows water and nutrients to
be transported within land plants.
