Ch 29 Flashcards
Euglena
- 2 anterior (and unequal flagella • attached at reservoir -Contractile vacuoles - collect excess water - Stigma- movement towards light - Small chloroplasts • ingestion of green algae
Euglenozoa
Eugenics & kinetoplastids
- 1 of earliest eukaryotes to possess mitochondria
- 1/3 have chloroplasts & autotrophic (others are hetero
- May become heterotrophic in dark
- No sexual reproduction
Kinetoplastids
- 2nd major group
- Unique, single, mitochondria
- Trypanosomes cause human disease
• African sleeping sickness
• Leishmaniasis
• Chagas’ disease
Trypanosomes
- difficult to control b/c organisms repeatedly change protective coat Methods • Release of sterilized flies • Traps that are scented like cows but treated with insecticides
Chromalveolates
Supergroup of 2 branches: alveolares and stramebopilia
May arisen by one or more secondary endosymbiosis
Alveolata
Flattened vesicles called alveoli Includes Dinoflagellates Apicocomplexans Ciliates Common lineage despite diverse modes of locomotion
Dinoflagellates
- Photosynthetic, unicellular, flagella - Aquatic environment - Some luminescent - Don't appear to be directly related to any other phylum - "Red tide" are "blooms" • fish birds marine mamms may die from toxins
Apicoconplexans
- Spore-forming animal parasites
- Apical complex is unique
arrangement of organelles
at one end of the cell
• enables cell to invade host - Plasmodium causes malaria
• complex life cycle - sexual,
asexual, diff hosts
• eradication focused on
eliminating mosquito vector,
drug devel, vaccines
Other apicocomplexans
- Toxoplasma Gondi
• causes index in humans w/
immunosuppression - Can cross placental barrier to harm fetus
Ciliates
- 3rd group of apicocomplexans
- Feature large # of cilia arranged
in longitudinal rows or spirals
around cell - Pellicle: tough but flex outer
covering
2 types of nuclei
• Microbucleus- w/o will rep.
asexually
• Macronucleus -
Parmecium
P
Stramenopila
- Includes brown algae, diatoms, and oomecetes
- very fine hair on flagella
• few species lost hairs during evolution
Brown Algae
- Conspicuous seaweeds in northern regions - Life cycle involves alt. of generations • sporophyte: multicell & diploid • gametophytes: multicell & haploid - Not plants
Diatoms
- Phylum chrysophyta
- Photosynthetic, unicellular
- Unique dbl shells of silica
- Some move by raphes
• 2 long grooves lined w/
vibrating fibrils
Oomycetea
- “water molds”
- either parasite or sap robes
- 1ce considered fungi
- motile spores w/ 2 uneq flagella
- sexual reproduction
- found in water or land
-phytopthora I festa a
Irish potato famine - 400k dead
Archae plastids
Group consist of Rgodophyta, chlorophyta, & land plants
- acquired chloroplasts through primary endosymbiosis
Rhydophta
- Red algae range from micro-lg
- Lack flagella and centrioles
- Have accessory photosynthetic
pigments within
phycobilisomes - Origin source of contro.
Green algae
Land plants arose from ancestral green alga only 1ce during evolution
Group green algae consists of 2 groups:
Unicellular chlorophyta

Rhizaria slide 48
- Use pseudopods for locomotion
- 3 distinct monophyletic groups
• Radiolara
• Foraminafera
•
Radiolarians
- Glassy exoskeleton if silica
- Needle like pseudopods
