Document Summary
Protista vs. other kingdoms: protista is the most diverse kingdom, differ from bacteria by being eukaryotic, differ from fungi, plants, and animals by lack of complex structures, major groups of protista, protozoa. General characteristics: eukaryotic cell structure, single-celled, colonial, or simple multicellularity, asexual and/or sexual reproduction, numerous symbiotic relationships. Multicellularity: multicellular another and integrate their activities. Composed of many cells that are permanently associated with one. Advantages of multicellularity: maximize surface area to volume ratio, specialization of cells for different tasks. Collection of cells that are permanently associated but have little or no. Transient collection of cells that come together for short periods. F: many cells that interact, coordination of cellular activities, no cellular specialization. Complex multicellularity: coordination of cellular activities, cellular specialization. Overview of reproduction: many forms of protista are capable of asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction is present in nearly all of the protista, many species have asexual and sexual options.
