Q

Nutrition

A

Autotroph - can obtain energy by making its own food

Q

Autorophs

A

Photoautrophs - convert solar energy into CO2 and water into sugar and produce O2 (Bacteria)

Chemoautrophs - Use inorganic chemicals to create their own energy(Archaea and Bacteria)

Q

Heterotrophs

A

Photoheterotrophs - Use light for energy but use organic carbon as their carbon source (Archaea and Bacteria)

Q

Habitats

A

Aerobic - environment with air
Anaerobic - environment without air
Extreme - environment characterized by extreme conditions
Moderate - non-extreme

17
Q

Extremophiles

A

Helophile - salt loving
Thermophile - Heat loving
Acidophile - Acid loving

18
Q

Reproduction

A

Archaea and bacteria reproduce asexually

19
Q

Characteristics of Protists

A

Eukaryotes
Majority unicellular
Diverse

20
Q

Classifications of Protists

A

Protza(Animal Like) - heterotrophs that ingest or absorb food
Slime Moulds and Water Moulds(Fungi Like) - absorptive heterotrophic protists
Algae(Plant Like) - Autotrophic protists that carry out photosynthesis

21
Q

Protza

A

Cercozoa
Cilliophora
Zoomastigina
Sporozoa

22
Q

Cercozoa

A

Most familiar = amoebas
Have cell membrane, but no cell wall
can create temporary extensions of cytoplasm (pseudopods)

23
Q

Cilliophora

A

Most familiar = paramecium
Have many short hairs(cilia)
Cilia used for feeding and movement

24
Q

Zoomastigina

A

They have more than one flagellum(long hair like structure) that propels them

25
Sporozoa
Parasitic nonmotile protozoans Most have life cycles w alternate between sexual and asexual reproduction Ex: Produce sexually in mosquitos Produce asexual in human liver
26
Slime mould and water moulds
Myxomycota Acrasiomycota Oomycota
27
Myxomycota
Visible, slug like organism creep over damp decaying particles feed my engulfing small particles into their cytoplasm
28
Acrasiomycota
Exists as single cells, but when food is scarce they release a chemical and join together
29
Oomycota
Most live on dead organic matter and resemble fungi They extend fungus like threads into host and release digestive enzymes that absorb nutrients
30
Algae
Chrystophyta Pyrrophyta Euglenophyta
31
Multicellular Algae
Rhodophyta(Red) Phaeophyta(Brown) Chlorophyta(Green)
32
Chrystophyta
Diverse group of phytoplankton autotrophic rigid cell wall with an outer layer of silica
33
Pyrrophyta
Phytoplankton with 2 flagella reproduce quickly red tide Tend to have a mutualistic relationship with coral reefs
34
Euglenophyta
have chloroplast and can preform photosynthesis, but also have flagella and can absorb nutrients Autotrophic in light, heterotrophic in darkness
35
Red Algae
1st multicellular organism on earth
36
Brown Algae
Largest protist
37
Green Algae
Structurally diverse Most plant like
