    2. 20-1: The Kingdom Protists

    3. What is a Protist? Most diverse kingdom Protist may be: Unicellular or multicellular Microscopic or very large Autotrophic or heterotrophic Protists are eukaryotes that are not members of the kingdom Plantae, Animalia, or Fungi There is no typical protist

    4. Classification of Protist 3 basic types based on how they obatin their nutrients Protozoa Animal-like All unicellular Plantlike Resemble plants because they are autotrophs Do not have roots, stems, and leaves Funguslike protist Resemble fungi because they decompose dead organisms

    5. 20-2: Animal-like Protists: Protozoans

    6. What is a Protozoan? All are unicellular heterotrophs Feed on other organisms or dead matter Typically reproduce asexually but can reproduce sexually Grouped by method of movement (4) Zooflagellates Sarcodines (amoeba) Ciliates Sporozoans

    7. Zooflagellates Phylum Zoomastigina Use flagella to move Examples Trypanosoma Parasite that causes African Sleeping Sickness The ones that live in the gut of termites (mutualistic relationship)
