1. KINGDOM PROTISTA
ANIMAL-LIKE
PROTISTS
ZOOPLANKTON

2. 4 PHYLA:
1. Sarcodina (Amoeba)
2. Ciliophora (Paramecium)
3. Sporozoa (Plasmodium)
4. Mastigophora / Zoomastigina
(Trichonympha & Trypanosomiasis)

3. Sarcodina
(Amoeba)

4. Phylum Sarcodina
Reproduction: asexual
Locomotion: pseudopods (false feet)
Movement occurs by cytoplasmic
streaming  extensions or projections
of cytoplasm (projections = pseudopods)
Nutrition: phagocytosis – heterotrophs
Other information: Cytoplasmic streaming
Example: Amoeba

5. AMOEBA FEEDING

6. Ciliophora
(Paramecium)

7. Phylum Ciliophora
Reproduction: asexual & sexual
Locomotion: cilia
Nutrition: Cilia used to sweep
food into “mouth” – heterotrophs
Other information: Trichocysts –
for defense
Example: Paramecium

8. Phylum Ciliophora: PARAMECIUM
2 Nuclei
Macronucleus controls
cell activities
Micronucleus is
involved in reproduction

9. Sporozoa
(Plasmodium)

10. Phylum Sporozoa
Reproduction: Asexual & sexual (spores)
Locomotion: Non motile = rely on vector
or body fluids of host of movement
Nutrition: All parasitic – heterotrophs
Other information: Need host for
nutrition
Example: Plasmodium

11. PLASMODIUM LIFE CYCLE
Vectors (mosquitos) transmit
plasmodium from 1 host to
another – the only way
plasmodium can move
Causes malaria in humans –
humans are the host
Have a spore-like stage in life
cycle
Do not
copy

12. Mastigophora / Zoomastigina
(Trichonympha & Trypanosomiasis)

13. Mastigophora / Zoomastigina
• Reproduction: asexual
• Locomotion: Flagella
• Nutrition: Heterotrophs
– most are parasites
• Other information: cause
disease in humans
• Examples: Trichonympha
& Trypanosomiasis

2. Paramecium
– Draw a labelled
diagram of
Paramecium
– Label:
macronucleus,
micronucleus, food
vacuole,
contractile
vacuole, cilia,
trichocysts and
gullet

15. Kingdom Protista Drawings
3. Amoeba
• Draw a labelled diagram of an amoeba
• Label: pseudopod, food vacuole, nucleus and contractile
vacuole
• What is the function of each part?
• Explain the following terms: ectoplasm, endoplasm,
phagocytosis and cytoplasmic streaming
