Protista Information Clarifying ?s protists - organisms that don’t fit into any other group - the junk drawer group types 1. Animal-like: heterotrophs, unicellular, motile, AKA: protozoans Examples: amoeba, paramecium 2. Fungus-like: heterotrophs, have cell walls, reproduce by spores, motile Examples: water molds, slime molds motile - able to move spontaneously and actively 3. Plant-like: heterotrophs or autotrophs, unicellular or multicellular, eukaryotes Examples: seaweed, plankton, algae habitat Moist surroundings Examples: lakes, rivers, swamps impact Can cause malaria in humans FYI: Some protists are parasites, which live in or on another animal or “host.” They rob their host of food and nutrients while thriving themselves. The host almost always suffers ill health due to parasites and in some cases, the parasites end up killing the host. Summary: Page #
