23
Q

phycobilins

A

absorbs light E and pass to chlorophylls
efficient for R, O, Y, G (not well done by chlorophyll a)
accessory pigments

24
Q

Azolla aquatic fern

A

symbiotic cyanobact anabena azollae
natural fertilizer in rice ag
fixes N and falls to soil when they die

25
Q

plastid

A

membrane-bound organelles that often contains pigments for photosynthesis

26
Q

Endosymbiosis theory founder

A

Lynn Margulis

27
Q

steps of primary endosymbiosis

A
  1. non-photosynthetic euk engulfs cyano prey by phagocytosis

2. endosymbiont - prey retained and not digested

28
Q

evidence for endosymbiosis

A

choloroplasts have 2 membranes in red algae and green plants

-> peptidoglycan layer lost after glaucophytes

29
Q

chloroplasts accepted (changes that occured)

A

division of chloroplast and host became corrdinated
genes transfered to host nucleus
proteins must be imported from cytoplasm
!cannot live alone now!

30
Q

DNA in prok and chloroplasts

A

circular, no histones

31
Q

nuclear envelope in prok and chloroplasts

A

no present

32
Q

peptidoglycan cell wall in prok and chloroplasts

A

only in prok

33
Q

genes size in prok and chloroplasts

A

prok 2500

chloro 200

34
Q

cell division in prok and chloroplasts

A

fission

35
Q

2 changes in ev of chloroplasts

A
  1. loss of phycobillins (accessory pigments)

2. stacking of thylakoid into grana

36
Q

glaucophytes similarity to prok

A

prok 2 types phycobillin, glauc has 1
present peptidoglycan wall
no grana

37
Q

glaucophytes

A

freshwater microalgae
few species
plastids referred as ‘cyanelles’

38
Q

chlamydomonas

A
class chlorophyceae
chlorophyta
single cell, two flagella
eyespot that perceives light
zygotic meiosis
39
Q

chlamydomonas life cycle

A

zygotic meiosis
haploid dominant
isogamous (similar gametes)

40
Q

zygotic meiosis

A

haploid dom
only diploid stage is zygote
meiosis immediately after zygote formed

41
Q

chlorella

A

chlorophyta
unicell green algae
medical treatment, nutrition
improve WBC count, detoxify, high in protein

42
Q

volvox

A
class chlorophyceae
colonies of hundreds of cells 
spheroid (single layer)
flagella cause rolling motion
each has 2 flagella, cytoplasmic connections btwn haploid
43
Q

volvox asexual reproduction

A

daughter colony develops inside out as embryo

has to invert so flagella on outside (break and flip)

44
Q

volvox sexual reproduction

A

zygotic meiosis haploid dominant

oogamous (dissimilar gametes, egg and sperm)

45
Q

ulvophyceae sim to land plants

A

NOT sister

evolved independently

46
Q

ulvophyceae class

A

chlorophyta
most marine, few in freshwater
some filamentous

47
Q

cladophora

A

class ulvophyceae
algal bloom in great lakes due to P loading
P was limiting nutrient

48
Q

new cladophora bloom in Lakes

A
came back maybe with invasive mussels
problems that mussels caused
1. clean water, light goes deeper (more light for growth)
2. provide substrate for cladoph
3. turn unavail P to avail
49
Q

ulva

A
class ulvophyceae
sea lettuce
leaf like appearance (convergent ev)
thalloid growth habit (flat sheet-like, undifferentiated body)
only 2 cells thick)
50
Q

A

ulvophytes

51
Q

ulvophytes reproduction

A

sporic meiosis

alternation of isomorphic generation (similar hap and dip)

52
Q

sporic meiosis

A

meiosis prod spores
multi cell diploid (sporophyte)
gametophyte is multicell haploid

53
