Chapter 28 Protists Flashcards
Secondary endosymbiosis
Process in eukaryotic evolution where a heterotrophic eukaryote engulfed a photosynthetic eukaryote which formed a symbiotic relationship
Excavata
Clade that was proposed based on feeding groove
Diplomonads
Have mitosome (reduce mitochon) which lack ETC making them anaerobic
Parabasilids
have Hydrogenosomes (reduced mitochon) which releases hydrogen gas for anaerobic respiration.
Kinetoplastids
Have one large mitochon that have organized mass of dna called kinetoplast
Euglenids
Protists characterized by an anterior pocket where one or two flagella emerge
Stramenopiles
HAVE FLAgellum with numerous hair-like projections on their flagellum
Diatoms
Photosynthetic algae that have a wall with silicon dioxide embedded in its matrix
Brown algae
Multicellular photosynthetic protists with brown color due to carotenoids in its plastids
Alternation of generation
Life cycle where there is a multicellular diploid form & multicellular haploid form
Heteromorphic
Sporophyte and gametophyte are structurally different
Isomorphic
Sporophyte and gametophyte look alike but differ in chromosome number
Oomycetes
Have similar structures to fungi but are are not related, a key difference is their cellulose wall
Dinoflagellate key feature
Cellulose plates, and whirling motion
