  1. Chapter 28: The Protists • Objectives • Most Eukaryotic Organisms are Multicellular • Realize Protista is Paraphyletic and no longer one single kingdom • Will understand Endosybiosis • Understand the variety of protists • Understand some ecological relationships of protists

  2. Basics structures and functions of Protists -Recently found to be Paraphyletic – Diverse - Some protists are more closely related to plants, fungi, and animals then they are to other protists -Exceptions to almost all characters -Most are unicellular -Many contain specialized organelles (Contractile vacuoule) -Mixed nutritional means. (Photo, Hetero, and Mixo) -Asexual and Sexual reproduction (3 basic types) -Contain membrane bound organelles Endosymbiosis -Evidence suggests Eukaryotic cells arose by endosymbiosis -Mitochondria were thought to have been the first endosybiont -Cyanobacteria were thought to be the next – Photosynthesis -Secondary endosymbiosis is when a Eukaryotic cell engulfs another Eukaryotic cell. p. 576

  3. Current Understanding of Eukaryotic Organisms • 5 super groups of Eukaryotic organisms • Some protists are more closely related to animals then other protists. • Changes have come about due to better understanding of DNA, Cellular Components, and Cellular Chemistry

  4. Excavata -Made up of three monophyletic groups 1. Diplomonads 2. Parabasalids 3. Euglenozoans -Most have flagella – extensions of microtubules -Diplomonads and Parabasalids have highly reduced mitochondria – No electron transport chain and can’t use Oxygen. -Euglena are mixotrophs

  5. Chromaveolates -Most diverse group of protists -Thought to be monophyletic (DNA evidence) -Origin was secondary endosymbiosis with a red algae -Group includes: 1. Dinoflagellates (Red Tide) 2. Apicomplexan (Malaria) 3. Ciliates (Cilia – Paramecium) 4. Stramenophiles (Diatoms) 5. Golden Algae (Yellow/brown Caratenoid pigments) (Some are multicellular) 6. Oomycetes (Water molds)

  6. Rhizaria -Ameobas are not monophyletic -Ameobas that belong to the Rhizaria group have thread like pseudopodia

  7. Archaeplastida: Red and Green Algae -Group contains land plants -Algae protists are the closest relative to plants -Chloroplatasts are similar to land plants -Use of Alternation of Generation much like land plants (p. 592)

  8. Unikonta -Group contains both Animals and Fungi -Includes Slime molds -Other closely related protists are discussed in the animal chapter. -Molecular and DNA evidence is the reason for going away from the protista kingdom
