Chapters 24.2, 25, 26.2 Flashcards
Key characteristics of Prokaryotes
single celled, small (less than 1mm), lack membrane bound organelles, cell wall, pill, flagella
what is archaea?
thrive in extreme environments
halophiles-salty
thermophiles-hot
Characteristics of Eukaryotes
have a nucleus, have membrane bound organelles, developed cytoskeleton,
endosymbiont theory
mitochondria and chloroplasts were formally small prokaryotes
algae
eukaryotic heterotrophic, plant like protists
protozoa
eukaryotic heterotrophic, unicellular, animal like protists
slime mold
fungus like protists, absorption
mixotrophs
capable of photosynthesis and heterotrophy
protists=eukaryotes structures
nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts
green algae
live in marine environments, producers
spirogyra
protists, green algae, spiral chloroplasts
volvox
protists, green algae
euglena
protozoa, mixotroph, flagella and pellicle
diatoms
eukaryotic protists, unicellular algae, silica, reflective paint and toothpaste, phytoplankton
dinoflagellates
eukaryotic protists, unicellular algae, whirling, phytoplankton
brown algae
largest most complex algae, occur in cold water ex.kelp
red algae
multicellular, lukewarm water, used for agar in reefs
paramecium
eukaryotic protozoa, predators and parasites covered in cillia for movement
amoeba
eukaryotic protozoa, unicellular, pseudopods, free living, some parasitic
ex of autotrophic protists
vilvix, spirogyra, diatoms, dinoflagellates, brown/red algae
ex of heterotrophic protists
paramecium, amoeba, slime molds
ex of mixotroph
euglena
defining fungi
cell walls made of chitin, not mobile, lack chlorophyll, heterotrophic eukaryotes
roles of fungi
important decomposers and disease causing, absorb nutrients
most fungi consist of massive threadlike _____- making up a ________
hyphae, mycelium
what are spores
sexually reproductive structures
chytrids
water molds
zygomycetes
ex rhizopus, asexual reproduction, black bread mold
mycorrhizae
mutually beneficial, absorb water, nitrogen, phosphorus
v idc
Basidiomycetes
club fungi (mushrooms, puffballs, shelf fungi)
Ascomycetes
sac fungi
Lichens
Symbiotic associations between fungus and a photosynthetic partner
protists
any eukaryotic cell that is not an animal, plant, or fungus
