2. Basic Competency
Describing the
characteristics of
phyla in Protists
and their role in life
Indicator
 Describing the characteristics
of Protists
 Distinguish among fungi-like,
plants-like, and animal like
Protist
 Explain the basic classification
like of fungi like, plants-like,
and animal-like Protists

3. What’s this picture?

5. Characteristics of Protozoa
a. Unicell (mono cell)
b. Size 100-3000 micron
c. Euchariotic (has nucleus membrane)
d. Life with soliter (individual) and coloni (group)
e. Heterotrof and there are Autotrof in common
f. Free life (Cosmopholit)
g. Move with rhizopodes, flagella, and cilia.
h. Vegetative reproduction with self division and shape of
bud with Generative reproduction with conjugation

6. Classification of Protozoa
1. Rhizopod
 Has move tools is pseudopod (false
foot)
 Life Style : parasite and free
 Habitat: sea and water
 Example: Amoeba proteus

7. Flagellata
 Has move tool is flagella
called whip feathers
 Life Style with autotrof
(Phytoflagellata) and
heterotrof (zooflagelata)
 Habitat: in the sea and
water
 Example: Giardia sp.

8. Ciliates
 Has move tools is tremble
feathers (cillia)
 Life in free area or
parasite
 Habitat: in the water
 Example : Paramecium
caudatum

9. Sporozoa
 Don’t have move tool, but have
spore in their life cycle
 Usually life in host animal and
human
 Example: Plasmodium sp.

11. Characteristics of Fungi like Protists
Structure of body shape filamen or thread
Heterotrof and absorbtif
Sometimes has flagel cells in their life
Cell wall composed from cellulose
(especially water fungi like protists), not
from chitin like in fungi
All members can shape spores

12. Classification of Myxomycophita
1. Myxomycota (mucus fungi plasmodial)
2. Acrasimycota (mucus fungi celluler)
3. Oomycota (water fungi)

13. Myxomycota ( mucus fungi plasmodial)
 Has ± 500 species
 Habitat: water, damp soil ,
manure of leaf,and collapse
stem or plant
 Some of members has bright
pigment
 Not photosynthesis and all
members heterotrof
 Eating phase has done by
amoeboid massa (not flagel)
called plasmodium
 Sporangium has shape
complex. Spores diploid/
haploid depend on condition
nucleus in plasmodium
 Example :Physarum, Tubifera

14. Acrasimycota (mucus fungi celluler)
 Has ± 70 species
 Habitat: water, damp soil,
manure of leaf,and stem or
plant which collapse
 Some of members don’t has
bright pigment
 Move by pseudopod (foot
false)
 Spread cell from membrane,
not soenositik, and haploid
organisms
 Example : Dictyostelium
discoideum

15. Oomycota (water fungi)
 Has ± 580 spesies
 Saprofit and Parasite
 Habitat: water, sea and damp
soil
 Cell wall from cellulose
 Diploid condition occur in life
cycle oomycota
 Has flagella cell
 Different with the other filum
has structure motil (zoospore)
spore with 2 flagel
 Example: Saprolegnia sp.,
Phytophthora sp.

16. Advantages of Protozoa
 Useful in food chain
 as polution indicator
 Basic material to make brush tool (Radiolaria)
 as oil indicator(Globerina)
 help rotten process food residue
(Entamoeba coli)

17. Disadvantages
Cause many disease in human, example:
malaria disease→ Plasmodium sp.
sleep disease → Trypanosoma gambiense
disentri disease → Entamoeba histolytica

18. Useful of Myxomycophita
Advantages
 as decomposer
 as saprofit
Disadvantages
 Rotten disease in germination plant, example: Phytium
sp.
 Phytophthora sp. attack potato, coconut, tobacco,
chocolate, kina, and cengkeh plant.

19. Exercises:
1. How are euglena to similar to both
animals and plants?
2. Can you mention all characteristics of
class in Protozoa?
3. Mention two ways protists are helpful and
two disease caused by protozoa!
