Q

Diatom
PLANT LIKE

4

A

1—-Secrete a protective SILICA shell
2—large amount of OIL

- This Helps them float and stores energy
-Ancient diatom oil transformed into petroleum

3—When they die, their shells accumulate on the ocean floor, resulting in “DIATOMACEOUS EARTH”*

4—- Diploid, single-celled or colonial— photosynthetic

Q

Green algae:
PLANT LIKE
two lineages-

A

-An informal group of photosynthetic species belonging to two lineages: chlorophyte and charophyte algae

CHLOROPHYTE algae= Most diverse group

CHAROPHYTE algae= ancestors of land plants, which share many of their characteristics

Q

Metamonads
ANIMAL LIKE
2-3

A

Flagellates family
***Lack mitochondria and have MULTIPLE FLAGELLA

  • **Diplomonads:2 identical nuclei; live in animals as a parasite; example:
  • GIARDIA LAMBLIA=Hiker’s Fever—>Dirty water)
  • Anaerobic - DONT need oxygen

Q

Trypanosoma brucei –
ANIMAL LIKE

VECTOR/SICKNESS?

A
  • Trypanosoma brucei is transmitted to humans and animals via the tsetse fly and causes African Sleeping Sickness
  • Flagellates
21
Q

Ciliates -Paramecium
ANIMAL LIKE

2-3

A

1*****-Macronucleus – controls daily function and divides by mitosis during asexual reproduction
-Micronucleus – sexual reproduction (meiosis)

Paramecium=A common freshwater ciliate that uses cilia to sweep water with food particles into an oral groove

2*****oral groove—> gullet
gullet-food vacuole

CILIATES= Heterotrophic, aquatic, named for the presence of cilia

22
Q

Foraminifera:
FORAMS

3

A

1–*****Shell made of calcium carbonate

2–*****White Cliffs of Dover in England made of CaCO3 shell

3-MOVE BY PSEUDOPODS

–Most live on the seafloor, others are members of marine plankton

-single-celled marine heterotrophs with a protective shell; holes in the shell allow for extending pseudopods

23
Q

Radiolaria:
ANIMAL LIKE
3-4

A

1***silica shell

2***Second gas-filled cytoplasmic layer keep cells afloat

3-MOVE BY PSEUDOPODS

  • single-celled marine heterotrophs with a protective shell; holes in the shell allow for extending pseudopods
  • Planktonic secrete the glassy silica shell
24
Q

Amoebozoans:
ANIMAL LIKE
2-3

A

1- Shape-shifting heterotrophic cells that
LACK a wall or a pellicle; form pseudopods

2-Single cells USE PSEUDOPODS to engulf prey

  • dysentary
  • brain eating amoeba
25
Q

Odd-Ball: Apicomplexans

A
  • all are animal parasites

* **INCLUDES- Plasmodium, which causes malaria

26
Q

Water molds (aka Oomycetes):

FUNGI LIKE
2

A
Water molds (aka Oomycetes): 
FUNGI LIKE- use cellulose instead of chitin like fungi do

heterotrophs, form a mesh of nutrient-absorbing filaments
