Chromaveolata Flashcards
Chromaveolata morphology
all levels of complexity
some photosynthesize
Chromaveolata supergroups
Alveolata
Stramenopiles
alveolata
diverse unicellular
subgroup making up chromaveolata
stramenophile
mostly photosynthesizers
Dinoflagellate
alveolate
2 perpeindicular flagella
hamborger
some photosynthesis
heterotrophic
REDTIDE (red pigment)
Zooanthellae
subgroup of dinoflagellate
mutualist photosynthetic endosymbionts of corals
Aciomplexans
parasites of humans and animals
life cycle needs 2 or more hosts
Plasmodium
apicomplexan
causes malaria
toxoplasma gondii
apicomplexan
parasite in cat shit
Ciliates
unicellular
mostly heterotrophs
have cilia (unique to euk)
oral groove ( called cell mouth)
MACRO+MICRONUCLEI
Ciliate Psuedo Sexual reproduction
two join with cytoplasm bridge, micro meiosis, 1 haploid daughter kept
kept daughter-> mitosis
exchange one of two daughter cells
fuse with partner’s micro
3x mitosis for 8 micronuceli
4 become macronuclei
ciliate mitosis 2x -> 4 daughter cells with both types of nuceli
Diatoms
diatomaceus earth
phytoplankton type with hard 2 part silica wall
Brown algae
multicellular
stramenophile
psynth brown
most of seaweed!
independently evolved multicellularity
brown algae anatomy
blades “leaves”
Stipe “stem”
Root “holdfast”
bladder - bouy
alternation of generations
primary producers
food chain with otters and urchins
Oomycetes
water mold
stramenophile
heterotroph decomp.
Potato blight
