  4. All Protists are Eukaryotes • Eukaryotes are organisms that have cells with a distinct membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. • Most unicellular protists are microscopic, however, some multicellularprotistsgrow more than 60 meters in a year. • Today we will be discussing unicellular protists. Definitions: Protist: (pro-tist) Unicellular, multicellular or organisms in a colony with diverse nutritional and reproductive means. Eukaryotes: (you-care-ee-oats) Organisms that have cells with distinct membrane around nucleus and organelles.

  5. Euglena • Euglena (you-glee-nuh) is a unicellular protist with characteristics of both plants and animals. • It moves freely and feeds on other organisms, like an animal. • Has the ability to make its own food, like a plant. • Contains chloroplasts which are organelles that store chlorophyll and is a site to perform photosynthesis. • Chloroplasts: (clor-oh-plasts) cell organelles in the Euglena • Chlorophyll: (clor-oh-fil) green pigment that captures energy for photosynthesis from the sun. • Photosynthesis: (fo-toe-sin-tha-sis) process which organisms use light energy to join carbon dioxide and water to make nutrients. Euglena: a unicellular protist with a reddish eyespot and a single flagellum, found in stagnant waters.

  7. Amoeba • An Amoeba (uh-mee-buh) is a unicellular protist • Animal-like because they feed on other organisms and are able to move freely. • Feeds and moves by using structures called pseudopods. (false feet) • Surrounds another protist and takes it into its cytoplasm and digests it. Amoeba: a unicellular protist which is able to change shape because of the movements of pseudopods. They live in fresh water or soil or as parasites in man and animals.

  9. Paramecium • Paramecium (pair-uh-mee-see-um) is unicellular protist found in ponds and slow moving streams. • This cell is covered with cilia, which are tiny hairs and are used for movement. • Feeds through its oral groove as it moves through water. Eats bacteria, algae, and other small organisms. • Could be described as animal-like because of how it feeds and moves. • Excess water is pumped out of the cell by the contractile vacuole to prevent the cell from bursting. • Has 2 nuclei; one needed for cell processes, the other is used only for sexual reproduction. Paramecium: a unicellular protist covered in cilia. The cilia is used for mobility and the Paramecium feeds through its specialized cell structure, its oral groove.

  11. Volvox • Volvox (vol-vox) is also a unicellular protist. • Has chloroplasts to carry out photosynthesis for its food source. • Volvox is unique because it lives in a group of cells called a colony. • Each cell close to the surface propels the colony through water with their two small flagella. Volvox: a unicellular protist which lives in a colony and moves through the water with flagella. (freshwater algae)
