A. Kingdom : Protista :
General Characters :
1. These are microscopic unicellular or acellular animals .
2. These are aquatic, found in fresh water or marine, some are found in damp soil and some are parasitic.
3. Body is made up of a mass of protoplasm
4. Presence of one or many nuclei.
5. Locomotory organs are pseudopodia, cilia or flagella.
6. Respiration and excretion occur through general body surface by diffusion.
7. In freshwaters osmoregulation by contractile vacuoles.
8. Nutrition is generally, holozoic or holophytic or saprozoic or sometimes parasitic.
9. Reproduction sexual or asexual
Kingdom Protista includes following four phyla
Phylum -Sarcodina,
Phylum - Ciliophora,
Phylum - Zoomastigina
Phylum - Sporozoa
AMOEBA
:
Kingdom - Protista Eukaryotic , unicellular, reproduces
asexually
Phylum- Protozoa
Microscopic unicellular animal
Class- Rhizopoda
Locomotory organ pseudopodia
Order- Lobosa
Presence of short, blunt
and lobe like Pseudopodia
Type- Amoeba
proteus
Characters:
- Amoeba is found in freshwater bodies like ponds, streams, ditch where bacteria
and decaying organic matter are
rich.
- Body is covered with thin semi-permeable membrane called as plasmalemma.
- Protoplasm divisible into an outer ectoplasm and inner endoplasm.
- Presence of single nucleus and single contractile vacuole.
- Pseudopodia are locomotory organs which are short and blunt and lobe like
- Reproduction is asexual by binary fission.
PARAMOECIUM
:
·
Kingdom
- Protista Eukaryotic , unicellular,
reproduction sexual as well as asexual.
·
Phylum
- Protozoa Microscopic unicellular animal
·
Class- Cilliata Cillia
are chief locomotory organs
·
Order- Holotricha Cillia are
distributed all over the body.
·
Genus
Paramoecium
·
Species caudutum
CHARACTERS
- It is commonly called as slipper animal because of its shape.
- Paramoecium is found in freshwater bodies like ponds, streams, ditches where bacteria and decaying organic matter are rich.
- Body is covered with pellicle and cilia.
- Cilia are the chief locomotory organs.
- Cytoplasm divisible into outer ectoplasm and inner endoplasm. Endoplasm shows presence two nuclei, one is larger called macronucleus and smaller is called micronucleus.
- Presence of two contractile vacuole and many food vacuoles in cytoplasm.
- Trichocysts are organs of offence and defense.
- Reproduction sexually as well as asexually. Sexual reproduction by means of conjugation and asexual reproduction by transverse binary fission.
EUGLENA
Kingdom - Protista Eukaryotic reproduction
sexual as well as asexual.
Phylum- Protozoa microscopic unicellular animal
Class- Mastigophora Presence of locomotory organ flagellum.
Order- Euglenoidina Flagella is much
longer.
Type - Euglena
CHARACTERS
1.Euglena
is freshwater flagellate found in pond, streams, ditches, pools .2.Body is
spindle shaped and green coloured.
3.cytoplasm
is divisible into outer ectoplasm and inner endoplasm.
4.Endoplasm
contains nucleus, chloroplast, pyrenoids.
Single contractile vacuole,
5.Cytoplasm
shows chloroplast presence of chloroplast.
6.Locomotion
by means of flagellum.
7.Euglena
is saprophytic or holophytic in nutrition.
8.Reproduction by binary fission
