Create this G.O.PROTIST Similar/Compare Different/Contrast FUNGI

3 Differences among Protist Cells

•Animal-like •Fungus-like

•Plant-like

Animal-like Protists (Protozoans)*Unicellular *Heterotrophs Microscopic

DNA , cytoplasm, vacuole, cell membrane, nucleus (1 or more)

*4 groups based on movement: flagella (tail), cilia (hair), pseudopods (false

feet) and sporozoans (parasite)

Fungus-like Protists

• Example: mildew• Unicellular• Like animals - heterotrophs • Like plants - cell walls made of cellulose• Reproduce by spores (tiny cells that can

grow into a new organism)• Not in fungi kingdom because they can

move at one point in their lives.

Plant-like Protists

• Example: algae, giant kelp • Autotrophs • Size: microscopic unicellular to very large -

multicellular• Like plants - cell walls made of cellulose (sugar)• Contain different pigments so they come in

different colors.• Euglena: special type of algae -when there is no

sunlight they become heterotrophic.

Similarities among Protists• Examples: Ameoba Pseudopdia, Paramecium Cilia, Euglenoid Flagellum,

and Sporozoan Parasite• All eukaryotes with nuclei (cilia-2 nucleus)• DNA• Unicellular or multicellular• Cytoplasm • Cell membrane• Vacuoles• Ribosomes• Reproduce by binary fission or congugation.• no definite shape.• Live in moist surroundings.• Autotrophs, heterotrophs, or both.• Some can move - others cannot.

Fungi Cells

Yeast

Mold

Mushroom

Differences: Four types of Fungi

• Threadlike - produce spores in their threadlike hyphae (ex. Bread mold)

• Sac - produce spores in structures that look like sacs (ex. Yeast) Since yeast is unicellular, they reproduce by budding. A new cell grows from the origional cell body then breaks off.

Club - produce spores in structures that look like clubs (ex. Mushrooms)Imperfect - those that cannot reproduce sexually (ex. Penicillin)

Similarities among Fungi• Eukarayotes• Multicellular - Except for yeast which is

unicellular• Nucleus• DNA • Cytoplasm• Cell membrane• Ribosomes• Cell walls made of Chitin (sugar)• Use spores to reproduce• Hyphae : threadlike tube structure used

to get food, break it down, and absorb it• Heterotrophs• Need warm, moist places to grow.• Examples: mushrooms, molds, and yeast,

ringworm, lichen, athlete’s foot
