 CHARACTERISTICS OF
PROTISTS
 Protist are eukaryotes, which means their
cells have a nucleus and the membrane-
bound organelles.
 ‘’Junk Drawer’’ kingdom because none of
them fit into any categories, this kingdom
contains eukaryotes that can be put to other A eukaryotic cell
kingdom.
 Means protists can be different from one
other
 Protist are mostly unicellular eukaryotes and
some protist are multicellular and they are
surprisingly large; ex kelp.
 Protist are not classified as an animals, 3
plants, and fungi. A kelp
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
PROTISTS
 Most of them have mitochondria.
 They can be a parasites .
 Most of them prefer aquatic or moist
environment.

ANIMAL LIKE-PROTIST
(PROTOZOA)
CHARACTERISTICS OF ANIMAL-LIKE PROTOZOA

PROTOZOA ARE; Where are they located;

 Are notable for their ability to more
independently.
 They usually lack the capability for
photosynthesis.
 Most protozoa reproduce by
asexual method, sexual
reproduction has been observed in
several species.
 Moist habitat.
 Fresh water and marine
environment (free-living species).
 Decaying organic matter (terrestrial
species).
 Some species are parasites of
plants.

(ALGAE)
CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANT-LIKE ALGAE

ALGAE ARE; Where are they located;

 Eukaryotic organisms that have no  Moist soil
root, stems, or leaves.  Water aquatic in nature
 Unicellular algae occurs most  Surface of rocks and wood
frequently in water, especially in
plankton
 Tissues of other plant
 Phytoplankton is the population of free
floating microorganisms composed
primarily of unicellular algae

typically has a long, tough
stalk with a broad frond
divided into strips. Some
kinds grow to a very large
size and form underwater
“forests” that support a
large population of animals.

in the intertidal zones of

FUNGUS ARE; Where are they located;

 Unicellular and Multicellular  dead matter

 They usually don’t move but
develop in some points of their
lives.
