Q

WHat are pseudopodia?

A

cytoplasmic extensions for locomotion and feeding (found in species Amoeba)

24
Q

What are Plasmodial Slime Molds?

A

type of amoebozoan
form colourful often lacy amorphic masses of protoplasm
feed on bacteria and decaying organuc matter
plasmodia generate sporangia hta produce spores for dispersal

25
Q

What are cellular slime molds?

A

type of AMoebozoan
spend most of life cycle as amoeboid cells feeding on bacteria
starvation can cause cells to produce a chemical signal that induces 1000s of cells to aggregate into a multicellular form that can collectivley move to forage for food
can form sporangia that produce spores for dispersal

26
Q

What 3 major groups fo Archaeplastids consist of?

A

Glaucophyta, Rhodophyta, Viridiplantae

27
Q

what are Glaucocystophytes?

A

small lineage of single-celled algae found in freshwater
their chloroplasts retain more features of the ancestral cyanobacteria endosymbiont than other algae

28
Q

What are major features of red algae?

A

mostly multicellular from marine environments; grow attached to rocks or other algae

29
Q

What is included in the cell walls of red algae?

A

mucilaginous matrix - prevents colonization by other algae

30
Q

what are examples of two red algal mucilages used now? for what?

A

Agar and carrageenin
for gelling and thickening in food and pharmaceutical industries
toothpaste, ice cream, nut milks, yoghurt, and agar

31
Q

What are features of Chlorophyta (green algae)?

A

mostly aquatic, some terrestrial
unicellular to multicellular
some are symbiotic with lichens, sponges, coelenterates

32
Q

What two lineages of green algae are associated with largest diversity?

A

chlorophytes and streptophytes

33
Q

What common algae (plantish) types are includeed in chlorophyte branch?

A

seaweeds like sea lettuce
complex seaweeds found in tropical and temperate oceans

34
Q

WHat is an example sea lettuce?

A

Ulva

35
Q

What are features of Ulva?

A

marine; found on rock and in lower-shore rock pools, and in shallow subtidal

36
Q

What are some types of Streptophyte?

A

Chara, Spirogyra

37
Q

what are some features of Chara?

A

multicellular; superficially resemble plants
found in fresh water, particulalryl in limestone areas throughout the northern temperate zone
covered with calcium carbonate deposits and commonly known as stoneworts

38
Q

what are some features of Spirogya?

A

unbranched, filamentous
helical, ribbonlike chloroplasts, many pyrenoids (starch)
common in freshwater, developing slimy filamentous green masses

39
Q

What are some features of Stramenophiles?

A

range from unicellular to filamentous multicellular forms; mostly photosynthetic
includes diatoms, giant kelps, and other types of brown algae

40
Q

responsible for 25% of photosynthesis on earth
thrive in environments that range from wet soil to open ocean

41
Q

What are the two froms of Diatom?

A

Pennate - bilaterally symmetrical
Centric - radially symmetrical

42
Q

What is diatomaceous earth?

A

43
Q

What is an example of diatomaceous earth fromation?

A

White Cliffs of Dover

44
Q

What are some characteristics of Phaeophyta - brown algae?

A

unicellular to filamentous multicellular
marine, dominate rocky shores
most conspicuous seaweeds of temperate, boreal, and polar waters (e.g. kelp, rockweed)

45
Q

What are the features of brown algae?

A

thallus 9growth form for multicellular types)
simple, relatively undifferentiated vegetative body

46
Q

What is kelp? features? cell walls?

A

marine, compromises kelp forest
holdfast, stripe, blade (lamina)
cell walls of cellulose and algin

47
Q

What is algin?

A

mucilaginous carbohydrate

48
Q

What does algin do?

A

provides flexibility and toughness
reduces drying in low tide
increases bouyancy
prevents colonization by other organisms

49
Q

What do we use Algin for?

A

stabilizer and emulsifier in foods and condiments (gelatin, pudding candy paint, medical tablets (binding agent), cosmetics

50
Q

what is rockweed?

A

marine brown algae, found on the coasts of the North sea, the Western batic sea, and the atlantic and pacific oceans

51
Q

WHat is an adaptation of rockweed?

A

airbladders (flotation) near ends of blades

52
Q

What is Ectocarpus?

A

mostly marine, unbranched and filamentous brown algae. grows attached to rocks and sotnes along coasts

53
Q

What are dinoflagellates responsible for?

A

red tides (toxic blooms in coastal water) that occur naturally because of human activities such as sewage seeps and fertilized cropland runoffs
can cause massive fish kills

54
Q

What are Apicomplexans?

A

an exclusively parasitic group that lack locomotory organelles, except during reproductive stages, have ab apical complex. an example is malaria

55
Q

What are characteristics of Excavates?

A

asymmetrical, single-celled, heterotrophic, with a feeding groove

56
Q

What are Euglenozoa?

A

photosynthetic excavates
