Animal-like Protists
Animal-Like Protists
Examples
Euglena, Ameoba, Paramecium
Evolutionary Milestones,
Eukaryotes
Habitat,
Freshwater, marine habitats
Anatomical/Structural Features
Refer to slideshow at bottom
Acquire nutrients (autotroph/heterotroph/etc)
Animal-like Protists are heterotrophs
Predator (who do they eat… if applicable),
Animal like protists are scavengers, and eat things they find in their environment. Mostly eat bacteria
Prey (who eats them… if applicable),
They are preyed on by many organisms
Symmetry
Bilateral symmetry
Mobility,
Most can move on their own
There are four different types that all move different ways:
Zooflagellates- flagella
Sarcodines (ameobas)- Pseudopods (false feet)
Cilliates- Cillia
Sporozoans- form spores that stick to organisms to travel to other organisms, and do not move on their own
Reproduction
some produce sexually, while others reproduce asexually by binary fission
Development(may be picture diagram),
Animal-like Protists do not grow. they are produced exactly like their parents through binary fission
