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
