| Slide | Protist | Special Organelles | Method of Movement | Energy Acquisition | Common Habitats | Live Alone or Communal | Human/Ecological Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Plasmodium | Apical complex | Glides (host cell invasion) | Steals nutrients from host (heterotrophic) | tropical areas (in Anopheles mosquitoes & human blood) | Communal (inside host cells) | Causes malaria, leading to fever, organ damage, and death in humans |
| 3 | Diatoms | Silica frustule | Non-motile (drift in water) | Photosynthetic (chlorophyll a/c) | Aquatic environments (oceans, lakes, ponds) | Live Alone/Colonial | Major oxygen producers; form diatomaceous earth used in filters and abrasives |
| 4 | Euglena | Chloroplasts, eyespot | flagellated | Photosynthetic/heterotrophic (mixotrophic) | Brackish water, moist soils, organic-rich water | Live Alone | Indicates water pollution; contributes to aquatic food webs |
| 5 | Giardia | Adhesive discs | flagellate | Heterotrophic (steals host nutrients) | Soil, food, feces-contaminated water | Live Alone | Causes giardiasis, leading to diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nutrient malabsorption in humans |
