WHAT IS A PROTIST? Eukaryote
Live in moist environments
3 types: animal-like, plant-like, fungus-like
PLANT-LIKE PROTISTS Also called algae
Autotrophs
6 types
1. DIATOMS
Unicellular
Used in furniture polish
2. DINOFLAGELLATES
Unicellular
2 flagella
Many glow in the dark
Cause of the red tide
3. EUGLENOIDS
Green
Unicellular
Heterotrophs under certain conditions
Example organism: euglena
4. RED ALGAE
Multicellular
Used in ice cream and hair conditioner (carrageenan)
5. GREEN ALGAE
Most are unicellular
Most live in fresh water, some live on land on rocks and tree bark
6. BROWN ALGAE

ANIMAL-LIKE PROTISTS Heterotrophs
Most move
Also called protozoans

Classified into 4 groups based on how they move
1. PSEUDOPODS
Definition: temporary bulges of the cell
Example organism: ameoba
2. CILIA
Definition: hair-like projections from cells that move in a wave-like motion

3. FLAGELLA
Definition: long whip-like tail used for movement
Example organism: Giardia
4. PARASITES
