Kingdom protista • Eukaryotic – has a nuclei and membrane bound organelles • Heterotrophic – need to ingest nutrients (autotrophic organisms make their own nutrients) • Unicellular • Motile – able to move • Includes euglena, paramecium, amoebas, algae, and slime molds
Classification: • Classified on the way it moves • Sarcodines – move by psuedopodia • Ciliates – move by cilia • Zooflagellates – move by flagellum • Sporozoans – do not move
Protists and Humans • Some protozoans can be parasitic • Can cause dysentry, sleeping, sickness, and malaria
