autotrophic or heterotrophic
polyphyletic
protista
heterotrophic animal-like protists
amoeba, foraminifera, actinopodia, trypanosoma, ciliophora
heterotrophic plant-like autotrophs
dinoflagellates, diatoms, brown algae, red algae
movement of heterotrophic animal-like protists
psuedopodia (false foot), flagella (whip-like) appendage, cilia (hair-like appendage), nonmotile
pseudopodia
amoeba
pseudopodia but with a shell of CaCO3
foraminifera
pseudopodia with a silica shell
actinopodia
flagella and undulation of flatten body edge (like a wing)
trypanosoma
ciliophora
cilia
two flagella
dinoflagellates
very small cilia
diatoms
look multicellular but colonies of individual cells
brown algae, red algae
why do plants have a waxy waterproof coating (cuticle)
prevent desiccation
sexual life cycle of plants and some algae
alternation of generation
haploid generation
gametophyte
diploid generation
sporophyte
sporophyte produce spores by
meiosis
gametophyes produce gametes by
mitosis
Evolutionary shift of plants
less dependence on water and larger size
why is the evolutionary trend in plants possible
vascular tissue
what is the result of plant evolutionary trend?
sporophytes becoming the dominant generation
water to land transition
algae to bryophytes
non-vascular to vascular transition
byrophytes to tracheophytes
spore dispersal to seed dispersal
seedless to seed
do not have vascular tissue, tissue no more than couple of cells thick, water and nutrients travel by osmosis and diffusio
non-vascular
stems of most plants, made of tube-like, elongated cells which transport the xylem and phloem, evolutionary advantage with increase in height of plans
vascular
non vascular plants
chlorophyta (green algae)
bryophyta (mosses)
hepatophyta (liverworts)
anthocerophyta (hornworts)
vascular and seedless plants
lycophyta (club mosses)
spenophyta (horsetails)
pterophyta (ferns)
vascular with seed *gymnosperms
coniferophyta (conifers)
cycadophyta (cycads)
ginkophyta (ginko)
gnetophyta (gnetae)
no vascular tissue, no true roots, depend on water for reproduction, smaller, live in dark and damp places
non-vascular plants
small, non-vascular, gametophyte dominant, needs water for fertilization, often seen growing on hard substrates in moist areas
bryophyta (mosses)
small, non-vascular, gametophyte dominant, needs water for fertilization
hepatophyta (liverworts)
have true stems, roots & leaves with vascular tissue, no seeds, most land in moist read (flagellated sperm), but occur in deserts and marshes, both upright and horizontal stems
seedless vascular plants
vascular dichotomously branched stems, small leaves called microphylls
lycophyta: club mosses
low complexity; sponges
asymmetry
more complex but still simple; jellyfish, corals
radial symmetry
very complex with designated sides; flatworm
bilateral symmetry
allow for the gastrovascular cavity to form; bigger elements can be digested
endoderm
skin, nerves
ectoderm
results in structures not associated with digestion such as organ systems (worms, humans)
mesoderm
without a body cavity, mesoderm fills the space
acoelomate
with a cavity between endoderm and mesoderm
pseudocoelomate
with cavity within the mesoderm
coelomate
asymmetrical, no tissue layers, no body cavity, no gastrovascular opening
porifera (sponges)
radial symmetry, 2 tissue layers (ecto and endoderm), no body cavity, 1 gastrovascular opening
cnidaria (jellyfish, hyda, sea anemone)
bilateral symmetry, 3 tissue layers, no body cavity, 2 gastrovascular openings
platyhelminthes (flatworms/planarian)
bilateral symmetry, 3 tissue layers, pseudocoelomate body cavity, 2 gastrovascular opening

bilateral symmetry, 3 tissue layers, coelomate body cavity, 2 gastrovascular opening
annelida (segmented worms, earthworm)
single filament of fungi
hyphae
masses of filament
mycelium
reproductive structure of fungi
sexual and asexual
diverse - unicellular yeasts, powdery mildew, complex cup fungi
common factor - reproductive body, ascus produces ascospores
asexual reproduction - production conidia Peziza, Sordaria, Penicillin

largest and most conspicuous (mushroom, toadstool)
obvious part is only small part of the body
distinguished because of basidiospores
mainly use sexual reproduction, but can use asexual mushroom
