19.2 Animal-like Protists
KEY CONCEPT Animal-like protists are single-celled heterotrophs that can move.
19.2 Animal-like Protists
Animal-like protists move in various ways.
• Animal-like protists are often called protozoa.
macronucleus
food vacuole
oral groove
micronucleus
contractile vacuole
cilia
19.2 Animal-like Protists
• Protozoa with flagella are zooflagellates.
– flagella help zooflagellates swim – more than 2000 zooflagellates
19.2 Animal-like Protists
• Some protists move with pseudopods.– change shape as they move – amoebas
19.2 Animal-like Protists
– foraminifera
• Some protists move with pseudopods.– change shape as they move – amoebas
19.2 Animal-like Protists
• Some protozoa move with cilia.
macronucleus
food vacuole
oral groove
micronucleus
contractile vacuole
cilia
– cilia help protists swim and capture food– more than 8000 ciliates
19.2 Animal-like Protists
Some animal-like protists cause disease.
• Protists cause some well-known infectious diseases.

• Malaria is caused by Plasmodium and spread by mosquitoes.
• Sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosoma and spread by flies.
• A giardia infection is caused by Giardia and spread through water.
