animal-like protists Flashcards
do animal-like protists have a cell wall
no, some may have a pellicle
what are the different types
- Euglenozoans/flagellates (euglena , trypanosoma)
- Amoeba
- Ciliates (paramecium and Stentor)
what is the cellular composition of euglena
unicellular
are euglena motile, what do they use
yes, flagella
how do euglena store energy
paramylon (starch like poly)
what are euglena feeding structure
mixothrophs
what are the main defining characteristic of euglena
eyespot, photoreceptor, pellicle, mixotrophic
what is the cellular composition of trypanosoma
unicellular
what do trypanosoma use for locomotion
flagella and undulating membrane
how do trypanosoma store energy
glycogen
what are trypanosoma feeding structure
have none, use diffusion
what are the cellular composition of ameoba
unicellular
are ameoba’s motile, what do they use
yes, psedoposia
how do amebas store energy
glycogen
what are ameobas feeding structure
pseudopodia
paramecium cellular composition
unicellular
are paramecium motile
yes, cilia
how do paramecium store their energy
glycogen
what are paramecium feeding structure
oral groove
what are stentor feeding structure
food gullet
what are defining characteristics of stentor/paramecium , how do they differ
- micro and macro nucleus : micro = sex
macro = genetic materiel and daily functions
in stentor, macronucleus is a chain
what are the euglenozoans (flagelattes)
euglena and trypanosoma
what are the ciliates
paramecium
stentor
what do ciliates form
zooplankton
