Animal Like Unicells The Kingdom Protista has been subdivided into 6 super groups that are thought to represent evolutionary relationships four of the super groups contain organisms that are animal like. Formerly grouped as the Protozoa (pre-animals) Unicellular Organisms All processes of life are carried out within one cell Unicellular Organisms Structure Pellicle Microtubules under plasma membrane Ectoplasm Region of cytoplasm under pellicle relatively firm Endoplasm Inner region relatively fluid 8.02 Unicellular Organisms Maintaining homeostasis Feeding Active transport Endocytosis Cytopharynx Digestion in food vacuoles Water balance Saltwater unicells - isotonic Freshwater - hypertonic to their environment 8.02 Unicellular Organisms 8.03 Maintaining homeostasis Waste removal Exocytosis Diffusion Gas exchange diffusion Reproduction Asexual Binary fission Budding Multifission (schizogony) Sexual Generalized Animal Like Unicell Fig. 8.02 Unicellular Eukaryotes Animal-Like Life Unicellular Eukaryotes Domain Eukarya (Has nucleus, organelles) Very diverse!! Any non-plant, non-animal, non-fungi eukaryote Unicellular Unicellular Eukaryotes Some are colonial Mostly microscopic Euk: Specialized organelles Free-living or symbiotic Locomotion : pseudopodia, flagella, cilia, etc, some sessile Aquatic or terrestrial Reproduce asexually or sexually Nutrition Heterotrophic Ex: Saprozoic (use nutrients dissolved in surrounding medium) Autrophic Or both Animal-Like Unicellular Eukaryotes Major reorganization in 2005, ongoing The Kingdom ‘Protista’ has been subdivided into 6 supergroups(for now) that are thought to represent evolutionary relationships 4 of the supergroups contain organisms that are animal- like.
