Chap 26 & 27 3/3/14 Flashcards
Extensions of cytoplasm in the amoeba that are used for movement
Pseudopods
Organelle tht is used to remove excess water
Contractile vacuole
Long whip-like structures used for movement
Flagella
Photosynthetic protists
Algae
Caused by dinoflagellates
Red algae
plant like protests
Algae
Short hair– like structure used movement
Cilia
A sexual life cycle in plants & Algae involving two or more phases
Alternation of generations
Internal flowing of a cells cytoplasm
Ameboid movement
Also known as false feet
Pseudopodia
Around the cell membrane
Pellicle
The large nucleus that controls cells activities such as respiration, protein synthesis, and digestion
Macronucleus
Small nucleus only used during reproduction
Micronucleus
_ are used in animal cells to remove their excess water
they are shaped like a star
Contractile vacuole
The method of sexual reproduction in other microorganisms
Conjugation
Are paramecium Heterotrophs or autotrophs?
Heterotrophs
Where does food into the paramecium
Mouth pore
After the food enters the paramecium where does it go
Gullet
What is the area of the paramecium that appears pinched In
Oral groove
What sweeps food into the oral groove
Cilia
What is formed end of the gullet
Food vacuoles
Undigested food particles are eliminated through the _
Anal pore
Tiny thread like organelles that the paramecium can shoot out of the cell to entangle a predator to make themselves appear bigger
Trichocysts
On which end is the flagella located
Front
What kingdom do euglena belong to? what phylum?
Protista; euglenophyta
What are two ways where the euglena get their nutrients
They absorb good across the cell membrane & the eyespot gathers sunlight
How do ameba move?
Pseudopodia
How does an amoeba reproduce
Binary fission
What disease is caused by the ameba?
Amebic dysentery
Is a paramecium unicellular or multicellular organism
Unicellular
What do paramecium eat
Algae & other microorganisms
Why can’t the paramecium change shape like the ameba
Because of the pellicle
“First animal”
Protozoa
You do amoeba and paramecium live
Water
the name of the protist that causes malaria
Plasmodium
A colonial algae
Volvox
Another term for animal-like protists
Protozoa
This term means “false foot”
Pseudopod
Caused the potato famine in Ireland
Water molds
Spread by drinking contaminated drinking water
Amebic dysentery
This protist is both auto tropic and heterotrophic
Euglena
What is the disease spread by the tsetse fly
African sleeping sickness
The anopheles mosquito carries this disease
Malaria
This organelle is used for photosynthes
Chloroplast
Protists are _ (eukaryotic/prokaryotic)
Eukaryotic
Sexual reproduction in the paramecium
Conjugation
This structure controls reproduction in the paramecium
Micronucleus
A type of asexual reproduction
Binary fission
Stiff outer membrane of the euglena and paramecium
Pellicle
Name Of the protest that causes of malaria
Plasmodium
This protozoan “engulfs” it’s food
Ameba
The protozoan that causes malaria reproduces here
Red blood cells
Drug used to treat malaria
Quinine
Structure in euglena that detects light
Eye spot
Organism that carries a parasite & is responsible for infecting other organisms with that parasite
Vector
This structure controls respiration, proteins synthesis, and digestion in the paramecium
Macro nucleus
There are protists found
Water, moist soils, & even the bodies of humans!
Would you find fungus–like protests
Moist soil, rotting logs, decaying leaves
What are the symptoms of malaria
Severe chills, fever, sweating & confusion
