contain flagella

23
Q

Euglenids example

24
Q

Trypanosoma ( Euzloans—> Kinet.

26
Stramenopilia contain (3)
photosynthetic diatoms, brown algae, oomycetes
27
Diatoms
unicellular algae remove carbon dioxide from and atmosphere and pump into ocean floor
28
Brown Algae

29
Seaweed structures:
holdfast, stipe, blades
30
Oomycytes
water molds, white rusts, downy mildews

membrane-encloses sacs
32
Alveolates include
Dinoflagellates, apicomplexans ciliates
33
Ciliates
named for their use of cilia to move around and feed on bacteria on other protists
34

41
2 clades of unikonts:
1. Amoebozoans 2. opisthotonos
42
Ameobozoans
amoebas that have lobe, tube shaped, pseudopodia
43
Symbiotic Protists
some are beneficial and some are parasites plasmodium can cause malaria
44
Photosynthetic Protists
Producers, organisms that use energy from light ( inorganic) to C02 to organic compounds
