linear
what are the 3 types of dna that eukaryotic cells have?
- nuclear dna
- mitochondrial dna
- chloroplast dna
what does protist mean?
“the very first”
what do protists include
all eukaryotes except land animals, fungi, and land plants
protists do not have
synapomorphies
what type of tree do protists make up
paraphyletic
protists tend to live in
water or moist environments
where are some other habitats of protists?
oceans, coasts, inside plants and animals
how to protists live in different organisms?
-as parasite or endosymbiotes
many protists are more closely related to …,…,… than other protists
plants, animals or fungi
what are the two groups that protists are divided into?
unikonta and bikonta
what classifies protists into the two respective groups
the number of flagellum that they have
how do protists move?
- sliding motion through pseudopodia
- swimming using the flagella or small cilia
how are flagella characterized?
long and few
how is cilia characterized ?
short and numerous
how do protists obtain energy
-some are autotrophs and photosynthesize
- others are heterotrophs and fed via phagocytosis, or using their cilia to funnel food into their specialized gullet
go look at the slide about lineages
hehe
how do biologists study protists?
microscopes
