Chapter 22: Protists Flashcards
Animal like protist category
Ingestive
Produce over half the worlds oxygen and carbon
Phytoplankton
Fungal like protist category
Absorptive
Plant like protist category
Photosynthetic
Anaerobic environments, two nuclei and multiple flagella. many are parasitic, predatory
Supergroup excavata-diplomonads
Create H gas as a byproduct of fermentation. Sexually transmitted. Feeds on vaginal lining.
Parabasalids.
Autotrophic, but some are heterotrophic or mixotrophic. Flagellates, euglenids( characterized by an anterior pocket from which 1 or 2 flagella emerge) and kinetoplastids- single large mitochondria associated with the organelle, kinetoplast. Bait and switch tactic against immune system
Euglenozoa.
Move and feed by cilia. Asexual but use conjugation for genetic diversity
Ciliates.
Chlorophyta phylum
Green algae
Phylum rhodophyta
Red algae
Phylum rhodophyta belongs to the supergroup
Archaeplastida
Red algae is
Usually multicellular, mostly marine, most abundant species in coastal waters of the tropics.
Green algae is
Photosynthetic, lives in freshwater and marine. Unicellular, colonial or multicellular.
Supergroup Alveolata is
Named for saclike membranous vesicles present in cell periphery.
Phyla in supergroup Alveolata
Ciliophora, dinozoa, apicomplexa.
Phylum rhizaria
Attached to rocks or sand in marine water. Shells made of calcium carbonate. Move by pseudo podia.
Dinoflagellates form
Blooms. Results in red tides. Produces carbon as a food source for reef community.
Apicomplexans are
Nearly all parasites of animals.
Stramenophiles
Stramenopila refers to numerous hair like projections on the flagella. E.g. Diatoms, brown algae.
Golden algae cells are
Biflagellated
Plastids of red algae, green algae and land plants have a
Double membrane envelope. Originated by primary endosymbiosis.
Heterotrophic host cells captured cyanobacterial cells via phagocytosis but did not digest them.
Primary symbiosis
Primary plastids evolved from
Endosymbiotic Cyanobacteria within a host.
Secondary plastids evolved from a
Photosynthetic eukaryote. Originated from secondary endosymbiosis.
Oomycetes (water molds)
Heterotrophic, lack chloroplasts. Biflagellated zoospores that infect others. Cell wall made of cellulose.
Super group Amoebozoa
Common in soil, freshwater and marine water. Most are heterotrophic.
Plasmodial slime molds
Most are brightly pigmented. Not multicellular. Mass called plasmodium.
Cellular slime molds
Form multicellular aggregrates when nutrients deplete. Cells remain separated by their membranes.
Supergroup ophistokonta
Includes animal and fungal kingdoms and related protests. Named for posterior flagellum on swimming cells
