Kingdoms Protista and Fungi

• Kingdoms of Organisms

3
Eukaryota Kingdom Protista

• Miscellaneous Kingdom Food getting
• Some are plant-like (photosynthesize)
• Some are animal-like (heterotroph, internal
  digestion)
• Some are fungus_like (heterotroph, external
  digestion)
• Miscellaneous Kingdom Body Form
• Single celled to Simple Multicellular

4
Protists Body forms

• Single-celled
• Aggregates
• Colonies
• Simple multicelled

5
Protists Cell Walls

• None
• Cellulose (plant like)
• Chitin (fungus-like)
• Glass(diatoms)

6
Protists Food issues

• Photosynthetic
• Heterotrophic
• Some digest food internally
• Some grow on their food and digest externally
• Some eat sunlight

7
Protists Ecological Roles

• In aquatic ecosystems, protists are the main
  PRODUCERS
• Many play the role of DECOMPOSERS
• In aquatic systems many are food for animals in
  the food web

8
Protists Uses and Diseases

• Food many people eat algae. You have.
• Toothpaste
• Malaria mosquito transmits
• Schistosomiasis in drinking water
• Late blight of potatoes
• Toxins made by red tide organisms

9
Kingdom Fungi Body forms

• May be unicellular (yeasts)
• May be filementous (molds)
• May be large, fleshy (mushrooms)

10
Fungi

• Cell Walls All have walls made of chitin
• Energy source heterotrophs
• Mode of digestion external, grow on food
• Ecological roles Decomposers
• Also, mycorrhizal fungi improve root function

11
Fungi Uses and Diseases

• Food production molds and yeasts in soy sauce,
  bread, alcohol, cheeses
• Mushrooms (some) are edible
• Get penicillin from mold
• Diseases
• Ringworm
• Athletes foot
• Thrush
• Yeast infection
