Biology Lecture Flashcards
How do protist eat
Some are autotrophs, some heterotrophs
Protist response to adverse conditions
Form cysts goes dormant create hardshell sinks to the bottom of the pond and wait for better conditions
Phylum amoebazoans
Rhizopoda=root foot
Have no flagella
Use pseudopod to move
Ex: Entamoeba histolytica causes diarrhea
Phylum foraminifera
Means little whole bearing
Amoeba in a shell white chalk like white cliffs of Dover England
Phylum Apicomplexa
Parasites of animals
Ex: plasmodium vivax causes malaria transmitted by mosquitoes
Malaria
Infects 3 million
kills 2 million
Walter Reed
Invented DDT
DDT he does not breakdown The environment
use stopped in the 1970s
Phylum Kinetoplastids
Zoomastiagophora
1-1000
Has flagella
Includes intestinal parasites of Fish and Amphibians
Trypansoma
Kinetoplastids that cause African sleeping sickness
Fatal if not treated
spread by tiesti fly
Chagas’ disease
Kinetoplastids that can cause damage to the heart
Phylum Dinoflagellates
Have two flagella
has a transverse groove
can be bioluminescent
causes red tide and paralytic shellfish poisoning
Phylum Ciliphora
Ciliates that have cilia Paramecium uses oral groove Micro-sexual Macro-asexual Has binucleus
Phylum Bacillariophyta
Diatoms Glass like walls used as filters and abrasives diatomaceous earth rough enough to polish but not rough enough to scratch
Phylum Algae
Chlorophyta
May be single celled organisms (green algae)
or multi celled or very simple multicellularity
Brown algae
red algae
Volvox
Have daughter cells
Spirogyra
Each cell has a spiraling chloroplast capable of sexual reproduction
Simple multicellularity
Multi celled Algaes
celles interact but on a simple levels
Complex multicellularity
Coordination between cells communication via hormones
cell specialization division of labor
Kingdom fungi
Includes mushrooms puffballs earth stars and yeast
4 million years old non-photosynthetic decomposers
saprophytic
cell walls are impregnated with Chitin not cellulose
Fungal anatomy
Hyphae cottony thread just below or right at surface of the fungal body
mycelium all the strands together
fruiting body
fungal spores
Phylum basidiomycota
Club fungi important in the breakdown of wood
includes mushrooms,toadstools,shelf fungi,and earthstars
Phylum ascomyota
Sac fungi 30,000 species yeast produces carbon dioxide makes bread rise
puts bubbles in beer
also includes morels and truffles
Dutch Elm disease
Fungal disease when hyphae come in contact with their roots and it kills them
Chestnut blight
Fungus that killed saplings of the chestnut trees
Phylum Zygomycota
Includes Rhizopus stolonifer mold on the bread and strawberries
Phylum deuteromycota
Imperfect fungi includes predatory fungi includes fungi used to flavor cheese (penicillium)penicillium produces penicillin
