Protists by Traven

This week I learned about the four groups of Protista! The four groups of Protista are Sarcodines, Ciliates, Flagellates, and Protozoans. All of these groups have different attributes as well. Some even have to hunt for their own food.

Facts:

1.       All of these types have a meaning, for example, Sarcodines means false foot.

2.       Protista have the ability to move but fungi on the other had cannot.

3.       The most interesting fact in my opinion is that Sarcodines can for limestone, marble, and chalk!

A question to ask yourself is… What do these four types of Protista have in common and are they similar or opposite of fungi?

                Overall, this week I learned about Protista, Lichens, and Fungi but overall I think I learned about Protista the most. I learned that Protista have four different groups, Protista moves, they produce asexually and sexually, they can hunt or make their own food, and they are either plan like or animal like structures.

                I think that learning about how the Protista can move is the most interesting because it is so surprising that a little cell can move! Like who would have guessed that they could move? The fact that they can move is also interesting because it kind of explains how the Protista hunt for food
