Protista & Fungi Unit GoalsSB1: Students will analyze the nature of relationships

between structures and functions in living cells.– a. Explain the role of cell organelles for both prokaryotic

and eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane, in maintaining homeostasis and cell reproduction.

SB3: Students will derive the relationship between single-celled and multi-celled organisms and the increasing complexity of systems.

– b. Compare how structures and function vary between the six kingdoms.

– c. Examine the evolutionary basis of modern classification systems.

– d. Compare and contrast viruses with living organisms.

•Contractile vacuole to pump out excess water •Can be heterotrophic in the absence of light

Fungi-Like

•Multicellular, heterotrophic

•Little tissue specialization

•Usually small & live in moist or

watery habitats

•Act as decomposers breaking

down dead organic matter

Slime molds

water molds

Slime molds

•Feed by absorption- -break down dead organic matter•May be saprophytes or parasites

•Make a reproductive structure or fruiting body that produces

spores •Often found on

decaying wood or leaves

Kingdom ProtistaAsexual Reproduction

“Binary fission”:

• when an individual splits into 2 identical individuals.

Fragmentation

31

Kingdom ProtistaSexual Reproduction

• conjugation = when 2 individuals exchange micronuclei• results in genetic mixing and “new” genotypes

32

• Production of haploid gametes
