16
Q

Binary fission is when…

A

Cell splits into two new cells

17
Q

Budding is when…

A

Smaller daughter cell breaks off

18
Q

Schizogony is when…

A

Several cellular divisions (multiple meiosis) (EX:plasmodiom- protist that carries malaria)

19
Q

What are 3 important points about Sexual Reproduction

A

it results in haploid cells from a diploid cell
Major evolutionary innovation that arose in protists
Created greater genetic variation

20
Q

What are plastids?

A

Organelles found in cells (plants and algae) which are the site of manufacturing and storage of important chemical compounds

21
Q

How did red and green algae evolve into plastids?

A

They acquired a cyanobacterium

22
Q

How is the endosymobsis in the eukariotic evolution theory supported by evidence? (3 ways)

A
  1. Plastid DNA resembles cyanobactirum DNA
  2. Plastids are surrounded by 2 membranes
  3. Transport proteins in membranes are homologous to the membranes of cyanobactirum
23
Q

What is secondary endosymbiosis? and what is an example of this?

A

when endosimbiosis has occurred twice (EX: Chlorarachniophytes)

24
Q

What are the 5 super groups of protists?

A

Excavata, Chromalveolata, rhizaria, Archaeplastida, Unikonta

25
Q

What causes Red Tide?

A

Dinoflaglants

26
Q

What is Alternation of Generations?

A

a process that some protists go through. Alturnates between soprophyte stage and gametophyte stage

27
Q

What are Excavata? What is an example talked about in class?

A

Excavata are asymmetrical, single-celled organisms with a feeding groove “excavated” from one side. (geridia, tripnosoma-african sleeping sickness)

28
Q

What are Chromalveolata? What are some examples talked about in class?

A

Current evidence suggests that species classified as chromalveolates are derived from a common ancestor that engulfed a photosynthetic red algal cell, which itself had already evolved chloroplasts from an endosymbiotic relationship with a photosynthetic prokaryote. (diatoms, brown algae, plasmodiom)

29
Q

What are rhizaria?

A

amebia that have thread like phusedopodia

30
Q

Archaeplastida include what? What is their significance?

A

includes red and green algae (they are the sister taxa to land plants)

31
Q

Unikonta

A

group of amebia with globe shaped phusedopodia and non amebia protist that are closely related to fungi. also contains sister taxa for fungi and animals

32
Q

Dinoflagellates characteristics (4)

A

Have 2 uneaqule flagella,
most are photosynthetic,
some are bio luminescent
and they can be toxic

33
Q

Plasmodium characteristics (2)

A

Causes Maleria

and has a complex life cycle with mosquito

34
Q

Why do we think Choanoflagellates (unikonta) share a common ancestor with Animals? (2 Reasons)

A

we think this because:
the protist and sponges both have flagelated cells
and there is homology in the receptors
