19.1 Diversity of Protists and 19.2 Animal-like Protists Flashcards
Such as the Euplotes and they are heterotrophs.
Animal like protist
Is a eukaryote that is not an animal, a plant, or a fungus.
Protist
Such as the algae Pediastrum, make their own food by photosynthesis just as plants do.
Plantlike protist
Such as slime molds, decompose dead organisms.
Fungus Like protist
Protists can be divided informally into 3:
Animal like protist
Fungus like protist
Plant like protist
Is often used informally to describe the many phyla of animal-like protists.
Protozoa
Are animal-like protists that have one or more flagella at some point in their life cycle.
Zooflagellates
Are very flexible and they form pseudopods to move.
Amoeba
Which means “fake foot,” is a temporary extension of cytoplasm and plasma membrane that helps protozoa move and feed.
Pseudopod
Another group of protozoa with pseudopods are members of phylum ________________.
Foraminifera
Are short, hairlike structures that cover some or all of the cell surface and help the organism swim and capture food.
Cilia
Is a single-celled protist covered with thousands of cilia.
Paramecium
Includes about 4000 species, all of which are parasites of animals.
The phylum Apicomplexa
Protozoa with flagella are:
Zooflagellates.
What are the quantity of the Zooflagellates?
2000
What thing help the flagella to the Zooflagellates?
They help to swim.
What cause the protist?
Infection diseases
What thing help the cilia to the protist?
To swing and capture the food.
Some protist move with the:
Pseudopods
Some protozoa move with the:
Cilia
