Chapter 24 - The Protists Flashcards
most protists are blank living
free
protists usually like blank habitats
moist
some protists can be blank that cause diseases
parasites
protozoa and slime molds are blank protists
chemoorganoheterotrophic
strict aerobe protists that use photosystems 1 and 2 for oxygenic photosynthesis
photoautotrophic protists
some protozoa that use organic and inorganic carbon compounds simultaneously
mixotrophic protists
protists simplify in structure and become dormant with a cell wall and very low metabolic activity
encystment
this group includes some of most primitive or deeply branching eukaryotes and is called a super group
Excavata
causes explosive diarrhea
giardia
supergroup that is obligate mutualistic symbionts of wood eating insects such as termites and release cellulose for digesting
trichonymphida
supergroup that has hydrogenosomes for anaerobic respiration and can be pathogenic
trichomonadida
these cause some disease and are parasites of plants and animals and are euglenozoa
trypanosomes
supergroup that use pseudopodia for locomotion and feeding and are naked amoebae surrounded only by a plasma membrane
amoebozoa
plasma membrane covered by material made by amoebe or obtained from the environment
testate amoebae
multinucleate mass of streaming cytoplasm
plasmodium
