Protists• Zoologists recognize between 7-45 Phlya of Protists

• This group is Polyphyletic- traced to separate ancestors

• Some are plant-like• Some are animal-like

Protozoa:• Are complete organisms in which all life activities are carried on within a single plasma membrane.

• Unicellular• Eukaryotic

Page 5: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Maintaining Homeostasis

Page 6: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Maintaining Homeostasis

• Cytoplasm has 2 regions–Ectoplasm- just beneath pellicle, clear and firm

–Endoplasm- granular and fluid, inner cytoplasm

Maintaining Homeostasis

• Freshwater protozoa must regulate water because of osmosis.

• Contractile vacuoles or water expulsion vacuoles- remove excess water

Page 9: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Maintaining Homeostasis

• Cytopharynx- ingest food in a specialized region(analogous mouth)

• Food vacuoles-digest and transport food

• Cytopyge- specialized region to release waste

Page 10: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Maintaining Homeostasis

• Large surface area to volume ratio

–Gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

–Excretion of nitrogenous by products

–All happens by diffusion

Page 11: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Reproduction• Both asexual and sexual reproduction can occur.

• But most do mainly asexual.

Page 12: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Types of Asexual Reproduction

• Binary fission•Mitosis produces 2 new nuclei•Cytoplasm divides (cytokinesis)

»Longitudinal or transverse.•2 new organisms that are identical.

Page 13: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Binary Fissionhttp://protist.i.hosei.ac.jp/PDB/PCD1502/animation/DividingAmoeba.html

One is the loneliest number. . .

Binary fission

Page 16: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Types of Asexual Reproduction• Budding

•New individuals arise from outgrowths of existing ones.

•Offspring may either detach from the parent or remain joined forming colonies.

Page 17: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists
Page 18: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Types of Asexual Reproduction

• Multiple fission or schizogony•Large number of daughter cells from the division of a single protozoan

•Many multiple mitotic nuclear divisions

•Cytoplasm divides, multiple new cells

Symbiotic Lifestyle

• Many protozoa have symbiotic lifestyles.

• Symbiosis- intimate association between two organisms.

• Three types: parasitism, commensalism, mutualism

Page 22: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Symbiotic Lifestyle

• Parasitism- one organism lives in or on a second organism, called a host

Page 23: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Parasitism• Definitive host-sexual stages of the parasite

• Intermediate host-when sexual stages produce offspring, enter this host, reproduce asexually.

• Many protozoa are parasites

Page 24: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Symbiotic Lifestyle

• Commensalism- one organism benefits and second is neither benefited or harmed.

Page 25: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Symbiotic Lifestyle

• Mutualism-both organisms benefit.

Page 26: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Taxonomy• Protozoologists: zoologists who specialize in the study of protozoa

• Found out that Protista Kingdom to diverse to put into one Kingdom

• Many protist phylum have been elevated to kingdom status

Page 27: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

4 Major Categories of

Protozoa• Flagellated Protozoa• Amoeboid Protozoa• The Coccidea• The Ciliates

Page 28: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Flagellated Protozoa• Possess one to many flagella used for locomotion.

• Produce whip-like or helical movements

• Push or pulls protozoan through aquatic medium

Page 29: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Flagellated Protozoa

• Both Flagella and Cilia ( both used for locomotion) share a common ultrastructure.

Page 30: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Flagellated Protozoa

• 9 doublets (pairs) of microtubules arranged in a ring

• In center of the ring 2 single microtubules.

• Anchored in the cell by a basal body (centriole)

Flagellated Protozoa

• Many phyla represented• All possess pellicle for shape

• Two major groups:

Phytoflagellated

Zooflagellated

Page 35: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Phytoflagellate

• Possess chlorophyll• Produce large portion of food in marine food webs

• Oxygen in aquatic habitats come from them

Blooms (explosive population growth) can cause “red tide”Blooms appear brownish red or pinkish orange b/c of presence of carotenoidsToxins produced by some can cause massive kills of invertebrates and fish

Page 39: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

This massive “red tide” of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca stretched for more than 20 miles along the southern California coast. Non-toxic blooms such as these can cause extensive mortalities of plants and animals in shallow waters when the bloom biomass decays, stripping oxygen from the water. (P. Franks)

Page 50: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Trypanosomes brucei life cycle

• In human, parasite can live in blood, lymph, spleen, central nervous system, and cerebrospinal fluid

• If the parasite travels to the central nervous system this causes mental dullness, lack of coordination, “sleepiness”.

Amoeboid Protozoa• Move by Pseudopodia- temporary cell extensions usually of the ectoplasm and endoplasm for feeding and moving

Page 57: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

PseudopodiaTypes:1. Lobopodia: broad extensions used for

locomotion and engulfing food2. Filopodia: provide constant two-way

streaming that delivers food in a conveyor belt fashion

3. Reticulopodia: similar to filopodia, except they extend out and form net-like series of extensions

4. Axopodia: thin, filamentous and supported by a central axis of microtubules

Plasmodium Life cycle

Involves vertebrate (us) and mosquito host

Page 73: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Life cycle of malaria

Plasmodium has two hosts: mosquitoes and humans.

Sexual reproduction takes place in the mosquito and the parasite is transmitted to humans when the mosquito takes a blood meal

Page 74: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Life cycle of malaria: humans

• The mosquito injects Plasmodium into a human in the form of sporozoites.

• The sporozoites first invade liver cells and asexually reproduce to produce huge numbers of merozoites which spread to red blood cells where more merozoites are produced through more asexual reproduction.

Page 75: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Life cycle of malaria: humans

• Some parasites transform into sexually reproducing gametocytes and these if ingested by a mosquito continue the cycle.

Page 76: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Life cycle of malaria: mosquitoes

• Gametocytes ingested by a mosquito combine in the mosquito’s stomach to produce zygotes.

• These zygotes develop into motile elongated ookinites.

Page 77: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Life cycle of malaria: mosquitoes

• The ookinites invade the mosquito’s midgut wall where they ultimately produce sporozoites, which make their way to the salivary glands where they can be injected into a new human host.

Page 89: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

The Ciliates• Complex protozoan • Fresh and marine

environments• All have 9 +2 cilia for

locomotion and generation of feeding currents

Page 90: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Locomotion: cilia Cilia are generally similar to flagella

but are much shorter, more numerous and widely distributed over the surface of the organism

Trichocysts: used for protection, rodlike or oval structures that can be discharged and stuck to predators

Phylum Ciliophora:

Other Characteristics:1. Relatively rigid pellicle and

more or less fixed shape2. Distinct cytostome (mouth)

structure3. Dimorphic nuclei, typically

larger macronuclei and one more smaller micronuclei

Ciliophora

Page 96: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists
Page 97: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Nutrition:

• some ciliates possess an oral groove

• cilia sweep food particles down this groove toward the cytopharynx where a food vacuole forms

• some ciliates even possess a cytopyge which is used to remove waste from the organism

Page 98: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Genetic Control and Reproduction

One Macronucleus- regulates daily metabolic activites

One or more Micronuclei- genetic reserve of the cell

Page 99: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Genetic Control and Reproduction

Can reproduce asexually by transverse binary fission or budding

Or some can reproduce sexually by conjugation

Page 100: Zoology Ch 8 Animal Like Pro Tists

Conjugation:1. Random contact brings individuals of

opposite mating types together (called conjugants)

2. Meiosis results in four haploid pronuclei3. Three pronuclei and the macronucleus

degenerate. Mitosis and mutual exchange of pronuclei is followed by fusion of the pronuclei.

4. Conjugants separate. Nuclear divisions that restore nuclear characteristics of species follow. Cytoplasmic divisions may accompany these events
