Unicellular (mostly), Eukaryotic

Plant-like

Brown Algae

It has many plant-like structures

Seaweed with many pigments

Green Algae

Closely related to plants

Unicellular, multicellular, or colonial

Contains green pigment

Red Algae

Contains red chlorophyll

Used in hair conditioner and ice cream

Only needs a smalla mount of sunlight

Multicellular seaweed

Euglenoids

Use flagella for movement

Can be autotrophs and heterotrophs

Green unicellular algae mostly found in pond water

Dinoflagellates

Responsible fro red tides

All have two flagella

Come in a variety of colors, may glow in the dark

Unicellular algae surrounded by stiff plates

Diatoms

Used in household insecticides

Move by oozing chemicals out of slits in their cell walls

Float near the surface of lakes and oceans

Have glass-like cell walls

Algae

They contain chlorophyll and photosynthesize

Very important in oxygen reproduction

Some are Multicellular

Some are Unicellular

Commonly called algae

Autotroph

Animal-like

Subtopic

Example- Plasmodium

Many have more than one host

Feed on the cells and body fluids of their hosts

Flagellates

Example- Peranema

Can have multiple Flagella

Move using the Flagella

Ciliates

Example- Paramecium

They sweep food to the Ciliates

Use Cilia to move and eat

Sarcodines

Example- Amoeba

Have a Contractile Vacuole

feed using pseudopods

unicellular

Made of cells with a nucleus and no cell wall

Can move to obtain food

Heterotroph

Fungi-like

Water Molds and Downy Mildew

Responsible for the Irish Potato Famine

They grow in tiny threads that look like fuzz

Most live in water

Slime Mold

They can be tiny and very big

Live in moist shady places

Brightly colored

They use spores to reproduce

They haev cell walls

Heterotrophs

Decomposer
