i need information on kingdom of protist?
90602
its a member of the kingdom Protista, which includes eukaryotic, mostly unicellular organisms with animal-like (protozoa), plantlike (algae), or funguslike (slime moilds) modes of nutrition. I take microbiology in collage if u need more info email at Njacobs7477@yahoo.com

Kelp is a great example of a multicellular algae (which is protist), like the "kelp forests" in Alaska.  Check it out.\n\nhttp://www.oceanlight.com/html/kelp.html

(A) protozoa\n(B) protozoa are eukaryotes (have membrane bound organelles), bacteria are prokaryotes (no nucleus, organelles, etc)\n(C) there are thousands of protozoans in Kingdom Protista (maybe even millions)\n(D) Protozoans are animal like because they are motile (some have flagella and/or cillia), SOME of them cannot produce their own food (via photosynthesis), so they have to get food from their environment, and some are sexually reproducing organisms.\n(E) via sexual reproduction\n\n(F) next time pay attention in class :)

1. Kingdom Monera [10,000 species]: Unicellular and colonial--including the true bacteria (eubacteria) and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).\n\n2. Kingdom Protista (Protoctista) [250,000 species]: Unicellular protozoans and unicellular & multicellular (macroscopic) algae with 9 + 2 cilia and flagella (called undulipodia). \n3. Kingdom Fungi [100,000 species]: Haploid and dikaryotic (binucleate) cells, multicellular, generally heterotrophic, without cilia and eukaryotic \n4. Kingdom Plantae [250,000 species]: Haplo-diploid life cycles, mostly autotrophic, retaining embryo within female sex organ on parent plant. \n5. Kingdom Animalia [1,000,000 species]: Multicellular animals, without cell walls and without photosynthetic pigments, forming diploid blastula.

Hey, this is a question I asked my professor, how funny, lol. \n\nFirst of all, it's important to note the differences between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell.  \n\nCells that lack a membrane-bound nucleus are called prokaryotes (from the Greek meaning before nuclei). These cells have few internal structures that are distinguishable under a microscope. Cells in the monera kingdom such as bacteria and cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) are prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells differ significantly from eukaryotic cells. They don't have a membrane-bound nucleus and instead of having chromosomal DNA, their genetic information is in a circular loop called a plasmid. \n\nTake a look at this picture:  http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/media/prokaryote.gif\n\nEukaryotic cells comprise all of the life kingdoms except monera. They can be easily distinguished through a membrane-bound nucleus.  Eukaryotic cells also contain many internal membrane-bound structures called organelles. These organelles such as the mitochondrion or chloroplast serve to perform metabolic functions and energy conversion. \n\nTake a look at this picture:  http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/media/eukaryote_animal.gif\n\nFor a brief and quick response, ...a eukaryotic cell is a larger cell with distinctly more organelles within the cell.  They differ in size greatly :)

The origin of the eukaryotic cell was a milestone in the evolution of life, since they include all complex cells and multi-cellular organisms. The timing of this series of events is hard to determine; Knoll (1992) suggests they developed approximately 1.6 - 2.1 billion years ago. Fossils that are clearly related to modern groups start appearing around 800 million years ago.\n\nrRNA trees constructed during the 1980s and 1990s left most eukaryotes in an unresolved "crown" group (not technically a true crown), which was usually divided by the form of the mitochondrial cristae. The few groups that lack mitochondria branched separately and so the absence was believed to be primitive, but this is now considered an artifact of long branch attraction and they are known to have lost them secondarily.\n\nTrees based on actin and other genes have painted a different and more complete picture. Most eukaryotes are now included in several supergroups:\n\nOpisthokonts Animals, fungi, choanoflagellates, etc. \nAmoebozoa Most lobose amoebae and slime moulds \nRhizaria Various amoeboid protozoa \nExcavates Various flagellate protozoa \nArchaeplastida Land plants, green and red algae \nHeterokonts Brown algae, diatoms, water molds, etc. \nAlveolates Ciliates, Apicomplexa, dinoflagellates, etc. \n\nThe heterokonts and alveolates may be part of a larger group that is ancestrally photosynthetic, called the chromalveolates, but this remains contentious. Otherwise the relationships between the different supergroups are mostly uncertain, and in particular there is dispute about where the root of the evolutionary tree belongs, and as a result what the earliest eukaryotes were like. A few small protist groups have not been related to any of the major supergroups, notably the centrohelids, apusozoans, and ebriids.\n\nEukaryotes are closely related to archaea, at least in terms of nuclear DNA and genetic machinery. In other respects, such as membrane composition, they are similar to eubacteria. Three main explanations for this have been proposed:\n\nEukaryotes resulted from the complete fusion of two or more cells, the cytoplasm forming from a eubacterium and the nucleus from an archaeon (alternatively a virus). \nEukaryotes developed from Archaea, and acquired their eubacterial characteristics from the proto-mitochondrion. \nEukaryotes and Archaea developed separately from a modified eubacterium. \nThe origin of the endomembrane system and mitochondria are also disputed. The phagotrophic hypothesis states the membranes originated with the development of endocytosis and later specialized; mitochondria were acquired by ingestion, like plastids. The syntrophic hypothesis states that the proto-eukaryote relied on the proto-mitochondrion for food, and so ultimately grew to surround it; the membranes originate later, in part thanks to mitochondrial genes (the hydrogen hypothesis is one particular version).

Moneran - Includes bacteria, blue green algae, and primative pathogens.  Considered the most primative kingdom, it represents prokaryotic life forms - they have no distinct nuclei\n\nProtista - simples eukaryotes.  Include protozoa, unicellular and multicellular algae, and slime mold.  Ancestor organisms to plants, animals, fungi; most can move around by means to flagella\n\nFungi - includes mushroom, bread molds, and yeasts.  Fungi lack the ability to photosynthesize, so they are called decomposers, breaking down and feeding on dead protoplasm.\n\nPlantae - have the ability to photosynthesize, so they are called producers.  They are two major phyla, Bryophyta, or mosses and Tracheophyta - which have vascular systems and include most of the plants you know.\n\nAnimalia - produce energy by consumering other organisms, so they are called consumers.  Can be either vertebrates, phylum Chordata, or invertebrates such as mollusks, arthopods, sponges, coelenterates, worms, etc.

Algae do not belong to the Kingdom Plantae because they are not considered as _real_ plants. They don't have true tissues (except for some Phaeophyta or brown algae), therefore they're considered as single eukaryotic cells that are associated forming laminas, filaments and the like. They're classified within Kingdom Protoctista (or Protista, although the definition is somewhat different).

"No protists are producers."\n\nI'm sure of it. Protists are the "junk drawer" of kingdoms.\nThe category of Protists includes many widely ranging microbes, including slime molds, protozoa and primitive algae. They are all eukaryotic <you-carry-ah-tick> creatures, meaning their DNA is enclosed in a nucleus inside the cell (unlike bacteria, which are prokaryotic <pro-carry-ah-tick> and have no nucleus to enclose their DNA. \n\nAlgae, Protozoa, Slime molds: Some produce and some consume.

Protista is mostly reserved for single-celled eukaryotes, whether they photosynthesize or not, whule Plantae is usually reserved for multicellular, photosynthesizing organisms.
