Linnaeus
Binomial nomenclature
Heterotrophic
Autotrophy
Organisms called mixotrophs can obtain nutrients and energy from
Diplomonads
Protists that have two equal size nuclei and multiple flagella
Parabasalids
They have flagella and an undulating membrane
Kinetoplastid
Trypanosoma causes sleeping sickness and uses a “bait-and-switch” tatic to avoid detection by its hosts antibodies and it is a
Apicomplexan
In organism that is a parasite that causes malaria and has a complex of organelles at one end used for attacking pray belongs in the
Euglenid
An autotrophic/photosynthetic organism that has a light detector and chloroplast as well as two flagella
Dinoflagellate
An organism with two flagella arranged on perpendicular grooves and emits a bioluminescent glow when disturbed
Ciliate
A paramecium is a good example of a And exhibits many hair like cilia on its surface. Conjugation and reproduction are separate parts of their life cycle
Stramenopiles
A group that has both hairy and smooth flagella
Alveolates
Have membrane bound sacs beneath the plasma membrane
Euglenozoans
Have flagella with internal spiral or crystalline rods
Golden Algae
Algal group having yellow and brown carotenoids and are photosynthetic
Brown Algae
These are photosynthetic and are the largest and most complex of the stramenopile group
Diatoms
Organisms having silica wall and during mitosis the organism splits and each half generates a new half to fit
Oomycetes
These cause potato blight and tend to be decomposers and parasites
Cercozoans
Radiolarians
Have thread like pseudopodia
Amoebozoans
Have lobe-shaped pseudopodia
Cellular
Slime molds can function as single cells or can form aggregates of cells that function as a unit if food is depleted
Plasmodial
Slime molds are brightly pigmented and have a single mass of cytoplasm with many nuclei
