Protists-Algae












Hey guys I'm back with another blog post and today we will be talking about protists and Algae. Lets just get started now, no intro me run out of ideas :(








The first type of protists we will be talking is the green Algae, YAY.  These algae are plant like organisms. These algae fuel most of are oxygen and the most important one.





















The next type of protists is the red protists. These protest live deep in the ocean and have a red pigment witch they use to get food from under the water using photosynthesis to make there food.
















Another type of protest is the brown algae. Most brown algae is found in the ocean that is also seaweed and kelp.












Now for some other  protest that doesn't start with algae, these are the euglenoids, Diatoms, and the Dinoflagellates. All of these are Single celled organism. Euglenoids have a whip-like flagella that they use to move and a eyespot that are sensitive to light. Diatoms cell wall are rich in silica which is the mane element in glass. Dinoflagellates have a speacle flagella that will make them in a circle and are responsible for red tides which are harmful algae food.

PROTOZOA






Hey guys I am back with another bog post and today we will be talking about the protozoa:) which are part of the 6 kingdom! These are interesting creatures, you will have to wait to see so lets begin.



The protozoa kingdom is very different from the other kingdoms like for a start they can eat there food like animals or even fungi. Also protozoa are eukaryotic just like use neat right. Also instead of a stomach they have a vacuole to eat, YUM! Protozoa is classified different than other members of the plant kingdom instead of plant eaters and meat eaters they are classified by how they move.




The first group is the Amoeboids. These protozoas move by changing there shape PS: they look cool they look really cool.






The next group is the ciliates kingdom. These protozoa move by using the hairs on its sides called cilia which are tiny little hairs on its body. Also these protozoa have not one but two nucleus. One is the macronuclei and the other is the micronuclei.
The macronuclei is the one that does the big stuff and the micronuclei does the rest.




The next group that we will be going over is my favorite it is the flagellates. This protozoa has a tail to move around and looks really cool while moving even a little funny. Also they use this tail to eat as well, they use there tail as a whip to bring in there pray which is relay cool, I like this one this one is nice.







Now finally we are on the last group the sporozoa my leist favorite group and you want to know why, it is because these are parasitic and that is not good at all. luckely this group cant move but, it can give you malaria which luckely we have a cure for now but back then it killed tons. of people each year.





fast facts before I go

Did you know that these can help you.
Did you know that these keep the fungi population down
 Under water animals rely on them for food
