Causes African sleeping sickness
There are three sub-species: T. b. brucei, T. b. gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense
Requires two hosts to carry out its growth

Unicellular they can reach 0.25mm
in length Use cilia to move Fresh-water Have two nuclei, as
described under the phylum ciliophora.

a slime mold that inhabits shady, cool, moist areas
sensitive to light may be seen
without a microscope
typically yellow in color

Slime mold can be found in soil and
moist leaf litter has a unique asexual,
short lifecycle that consists of four stages: vegetative, aggregation, migration, and culmination

fungus like micro-organism that causes Ramorum blight and sudden oak death
first identified in 1993 in Germany and The Netherlands
characterized by bleeding cankers on the lower trunk of trees
![Page 11: Protista example organisms](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a02e301a28ab4c348b4827/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
commonly known as the Sea Sparkle
Heterotrophic and phagotrophic
Size ranges from 200 to 2,000 µm in diameter
They usually eat plankton
![Page 12: Protista example organisms](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a02e301a28ab4c348b4827/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
First identified in North America in 1985.
Able to produce a toxin.
Toxins mainly kill fish and seem to have little effect on humans or cattle.

Chosen as the first eukaryotic marine phytoplankton for whole genome sequencing.
An ocean diatom Plays an important
role in Earth’s carbon cycle.

Form colonies that are green and float in water
Cannot move on its own, but it floats and is carried by animals to other bodies of water
Converts nitrogen from waste into a form other animals can use

Large brown seaweed
In warm water it can grow up to 12 meters long.
Grows attached to rocks
“branches” grown from its steam
