Answer:
UNICELLULAR, MULTICELLULAR, OR COLONIAL EURKAYOTE WHOSE CELL WALLS MAY CONTAIN CELLULOSE; CAN BE PLANTLIKE, ANIMAL-LIKE, OR FUNGUS LIKE
a) IF IT IS A EUKARYOTE, BUT NOT AN ANIMAL, PLANT, OR FUNGI THEN IT IS A PROTIST
1. Protists are classified more easily by what they are not than by what they are
a) Protists are not animals, plants or fungi because they do not have all of the characteristics necessary to place them in any of these kingdoms
2. Kingdom Protista was created to include this diverse group of more than 200,000 organisms
3. ALL PROTISTS ARE EUKARYOTES WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE MEMBRANE BOUND ORGANELLES AND A DNA FOUND IN A MEMBRANE BOUND NUCLEUS
a) like all eurkayotes, the DNA of protists is found within the membrane bound eukaryotes, there are remarkable differences in their reproductive methods
b) Some reproduce asexually by mitosis while others exchange genetic material during meiosis
PROTISTS ARE CLASSIFIED BASED ON THEIR METHOD OF OBTAINING NUTRITION
1. There are divided into three groups using this method:
a) animal-like protists/protozoan
b) plantlike protists/algae
c) fungus like protists
HETEROTROPHIC, UNICELLULAR, ANIMAL LIKE PROTIST
1. Usually ingest bacteria, algae, or other protozoans
2. REQUIREMENTS:
a) ingest food, heterotrophs
b) no cell walls
3. Some are parasites
1. Cillates
2. amoebas
3. apicomplexans
4. zooflagellates
5. paramecium
