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
plasmodium lacks a blank
cell membrane
acellular slime molds have these
plasmodium lacking cell membrane
supergroup that is also amoeboid but have fine pseudopodia and axopodia
Rhizaria
foraminifera have blank arranged in braching network
filopodia
most of these have internal skeleton made of siliceous material and feed by endocytosis using mucous coated filopodia to trap prey
radiolaria
radiolaria use blank reproduction mehtods
sexual, asexual
these cause phosphorescence and toxic blooms seen in seawater and are a large group found in marine plankton
dinoflagellates
defensive proteins of dinoflagellates
trichocysts
these are chemoorganotrophic and found in both benthic and planktonic communities in water and soil systems
ciliophora
ciliophora use blank reproduction by blank
asexual, binary fission
ciliaphora can be human blank but most are not
pathogens
this parasitic protozoan are blank human pathogens
apicomplexans, all
stramenopila do most of the blank in the ocean
carbon fixation
these have chlorophylls and pigments and are frustule and use asexual division and cycle carbon
diatoms
two piece cell wall of silica and make cool patterns
frustule
these are phototrophs that have chlorophylls and carotenoids and cellulose cell walls and are like chlorophyta (green algae)
chloroplastida
these are a member of the subgroup chlorophyta that have a haploid nucleus and have a contractile vacuole at flagella base and uses sexual and asexual reproduction
chlamydomonas
