Kingdom Protista Project Reflection!
Reflection Sheet
1. How does this assignment relate to the standard?
This assignment is a project. This assignment included animal, plant, and fungus-like protista. We had to name all the protista. An example would be the Euglenoids and their flagella. This project took forever to finish.
2. What are the steps you took to compete and do well on this assignment?
First, I did back to back projects for 4 days. The first project was the Plant-like protist poster. The next day it was due and then we did the Animal-like protist for homework. We turned that in the next day and did the Fungus-like protist as homework then. After that we did this, the overall Kingdom Protist Project. Finally, I got a 4!
3. This assignment demonstrates the following strengths...
This demonstrates that I can do projects back to back for 4 days. This also shows that I can make posters on protista. Another thing this proves is that I learned about these protistas (which wasn't fun). Since I learned about protista it shows I know the 3 types of protists(listed on the bottom).
4. I could have improved my work on this assignment by...
I could have improved by taking more time and making it pretty. Of course I didn't. I could have also found my fungus like protist poster. A day before this essay was given out, I lost my poster somewhere in my house (and don't even get me started on how big it was). Still, I managed my way through. (M.I.A. Fungus Protist Poster.)
5. How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes while you are still a student?
I can apply this skill later on as a student when I take my final Finals. When we take the Science Final, there will no doubt be a few questions about protista. If there is I'm ready for it! Another thing is when I'm in collage. Then I will have a lot of projects and this skill will help.

Kingdom Protista
Hello, this is a science project done by, me! This project is about the Kingdom Protista, which is an eukaryote that can be a plant, animal, or fungus. It can have 1 to multiple cells depending on what type of Protista it is. They live, believe it or not, in wet or moist areas. They are classified depending on what Protista they are, like animal protista are classified by how they move. Also they DO have nuclei There are 3 types of Protista that I will be talking about:
⦁ Plant
⦁ Animal
⦁ Fungus
Plant-Like Protista
These plant like protista are all algae, that's right, algae! There are 6 types of plant-like protista:
⦁ The first one is the Euglenoids. Euglenoids have chloroplast just like plants.(For photosynthesis) They eat other protists and bacteria when there is no light for then to turn to food. (I know crazy right?) They are 1 celled and also (unlike plants) have no cell wall. They do, however have a strong and flexible layer of cell membrane. They move using tail like things known as flagella.
⦁ The next of the 6 would be the Diatoms. They live in frsh and still water. These Diatoms store food in the form of oil and also they are 1 celled. These Diatoms are also photosynthetic. To hide their green chloroplast, Diatoms have a golden-brown pigment. They are used in toothpaste.
⦁ Dinoflagellates are also another type of plant-like protista. They are 1 celled and their name Dinoflagellates mean "Spinning Flagellates". This is because it wraps itself using its flagella and spins itslef to move. Their red pigment has given them the name "Fire Algae". They store food in the form of oil and starches.
⦁ The next plant-like protista is the Green Algae. Most of the plant-like protista are actually Green Algae. What's interesting about these algaes is the fact that half the oxygen we breath comes from them. They live in multiple places such as water, tree trunks, and inside other organisms. Green Algae can be 1 or multi-celled.
⦁ Red Algae is the 5th protist we will talk about. These algae are used in toothpaste and pudding. A substance in these algae known as carrageenan, such as Irish moss, make toothpaste and pudding soft. They can are multi celled and can live up to 175m deep underwater. This is because their red color allows them to absorb the limited amount of light in the water.
⦁ The last plant-like algae is the Brown Algae. They are multi-celled and they come in different sizes. They can be found in salty and cool water. Kelp is a type of Brown Algae. Kelp is just 1 type of Brown Algae yet it is very important to fish. Brown Algae can be used to make ice-cream, marshmallows, or fertilizers.
Plant-like protists are different from animal-like ones because it has a chloroplast. Also it is different from fungus-like ones because it helps us unlike fungus-like protists.
Animal-Like Protista
Animal-Like Protists are known as Protozoans. They are classified by how they move. They like in orginisms, dead or alive.
⦁ Rhizopods are the first of many types of Protozoans. It is classified by its extension in its cytoplasm. This extention is known as the pseudopod which means "false foot". This Protozoan extends around its food and traps it. A vacuole forms around its prey (bacteria) and digests it.
⦁ The next Protozoan is called the Flagellates. It is very interesting because it shares the flagella that the Dinoflagellates and Euglenoids have. This Protozoan uses its flagella to help them move around in fresh water (which is its habitat). Some of the Flagellates are acually parasites. Some of the Flagellates cause sickness like the Trypanosoma causes the African sleeping sickness.
⦁ Ciliates, another type of Protozoan, move using their Cili. Cili is a short thread-like structure that is an exention of the Ciliate's cell membrane. These Cili cover the Ciliate and beat around. This allows the Ciliate to move around quickly. Ciliates have 2 nuclei, the macronucleous and the micronucleous. The macronucleous is in charge of everyday functions of the Ciliate. The micronucleous is in charge of the Ciliates' reproduction.
⦁ Sporozoans are another Portozoans. Unlike the other Protozoans that move around a lot, Sporozoans can't move on their own and they feed on human blood.
The animal-like protista don't have chloroplasts like the plant-like protista do. Also they aren't decomposers (SPOILER!!!) like the fungous-like protists are.
Fungous-like Protista
Fungi-like protists are so simular to fungi, they were classified as fungi until recently. there are only 2 types of fungi-like protista. They get their energy by breaking down dead organic material because they are decomposers.
⦁ Slime molds are the first Fungi-like protist. They are brightly colored and they make a delicate web-like structure on their food supply. They reproduce using spores and move using a pseudopods. Most slime molds live on dead logs or leaves in shady and cool woods. They reproduce when things become unfavorable to keep up their numbers.
⦁ The last fungi-like protist and the last protista is the Water mold and Downy Mildews. I know that thyey are 2 things but they are categorized as 1. They live in water and have a reproductuve cell. They are parasits and they look fuzzy and white.
Fungous-like Protista break down organic material unlike the other 2 protista.
