Domain Eukarya Flashcards
is domain archaea prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
prokaryotes
why can domain archaea not be studied much?
they are extremophiles so we cannot replicate their environment in a lab
what does “archaeotes” mean
archaean
what are the 3 kingdoms in domain eukarya?
- kingdom plantae
- kingdom animalia
- kingdom fungi
what are the characteristics of eukaryotes?
have organelles
have a nucleus
are large
what is a protist?
eukaryote that is not a plant, animal or fungi
came around 1.8 mya
secondary endosymbiosis
when a eukaryotic organism becomes endosymbiont itself
larger eukaryote eats a smaller eukaryote to make a more specialized organism
characteristics of supergroup excavata
have flagellum
unique cytoskeleton made of microtubules
free living, symbiotic, human pathogens
supergroup excavata, class parabasalid
anaerobic: dislike water
ex. mutualist in termite guts to break down cellulose in wood
supergroup excavata, phylum euglenozoa
have spiral crystalline rod structure in flagella
supergroup excavata, phylum euglenozoa, class kinetoplastida
single large mitochondria
- antiparasite drug targets this
can survive bc they shapeshift surface proteins so immune system cannot fight it
ex. Trypanosoma (blood parasite that causes African Sleeping Sickness)
supergroup excavata, phylum euglenozoa, class euglenoidea
have pocket at end of cell
2 flagella
mixotrophs (photoautotroph and chemoheterotroph)
supergroup SAR
includes
1. stremenopiles
2. alveolata
3. rhizaria
supergroup SAR, phylum heterokontophyte (stremenopiles)
means different flagella plant
are photosynthetic
2 types of flagella (1 long and hairy, 1 short and smooth)
- class bacillariophyceae
- class crysophycaeae
- class phyaeophyceae
phyceae
means seaweed
supergroup SAR, phylum heterokontophyte, class bacillariophyceae
diatoms
2 shell halves made of silica (fit like lid on a shoebox)
pores help with weight distribution
- very strong stable and structured
supergroup SAR, phylum heterokontophyte, class crysophycaeae
golden algae
mixotrophs
supergroup SAR, phylum heterokontophyte, class phyaeophyceae
brown algae
multicellular (get huge)
use floats (pneumatophores) to stay upright
alternation of generations life cycle
explain the reproduction cycle of diatoms (class bacillariophyceae)
two shell halves split in two and form two diatoms (asexual repro) —> get smaller and smaller each time they split and eventually cannot split anymore —> (sexual repro) produces sperm and egg which fertilize and form a zygote then makes a new diatom and cycle repeats
explain the alteration of generations life cycle (class phyaeophyceae/brown algae)
diploid sporophyte —> meosis in sporongium –> produces haploid spores —> mitosis to form male and female gametophyte —-> produce sperm and egg which fertilize and form a zygote then makes a new diploid sporophyte and cycle repeats
(purely sexual repro)
which class has 2 phases of life?
class phyaeophyceae/brown algae
- multicellular diploid sporophyte
- multicellular haploid gametophyte
Alveolata
membrane enclosed sac under plasma membrane
- phylum dinoflagellata
- phylum apicomplexa
- phylum ciliophora
Alveolata, phylum dinoflagellata
mixotrophs
cell plates made of cellulose (grooves with flagella)
parasites release dinotoxins that infect fish
can appear red in water
ex. zooxanthellae on corals (mutualist with coral that help photosynthesize and give coral color)
Alveolata, phylum apicomplexa
blood parasite
live in host cell
ex. one causes malaria: infects liver and blood cells
release pheromones which attract mosquitos and manipulate mind to drink longer
