Volvox
Phylum Apicomplexa
Plasmodium
Phylum Ciliophora
Paramecium
Vorticella
Protozoans, Protists
Have nucleus
Single-celled, microscopic (10-100 um)
Ecologically widespread
Complete organism
unicellular eukaryotes
locomotion of amoeba
“False-feet”
Extensions of the cell body
pseudopodia
advancing end of the pseudopodium where the endoplasm flows into
hyaline cap
2 proteins of amoeba for locomotion
actin and myosin
form broad, blunt pseudopodium called a lobopodium
Actin meshwork
form narrow pointed pseudopodium called a filopodium
Actin fibers
reproduction of amoeba
Asexual reproduction by a type of mitotic cell division
binary fission
feeding of amoeba
food vacuoles
type of ingestion that involves encircling the prey by the pseudopodia
phagocytosis
take in fluid droplets and minute food particles by a process of channel formation
pinocytosis
respiration of amoeba
diffusion
osmoregulation of amoeba
Clear bubble containing no particles
Increases in size by accumulation of fluid and then ruptures and disappears
Rids the amoeba of excess water that has been taken in by osmosis
contractile vacuole
Causative agent of Amebiasis
entamoeba
active feeding phase, gumagalaw sa loob
Trophozoite
Spindle-shaped and greenish due to chloroplasts which contains chlorophyll
Common in stagnant freshwater
euglena
nonmobile stage sa loob, mature cyst contains 4 nuclei that can emerge from the cyst resulting in daughter amoebas
cyst
locomotion of euglena
one or more flagella
clear flask-space in the anterior end where the flagellum emerges
reservoir
wormlike contractions made possible by microtubules
euglenoid movement
body covering of euglena
pellicle
Euglena means “true eyeball”
true
eye-spot for photoreception
Stigma
osmoregulation of euglena
contractile vacuole
feeding of euglena
holophytic (uses photosynthesis)
- Carbohydrates are stored as starch granules & paramylon
reproduction of euglena
longitudinal fission
Osmotrophic haemoparasitic flagellates
Vertebrate parasites
Undulating membrane and the coiled or screw-like appearance of the thallus
Trypanosoma
disease caused by trypanosoma
Human African Trypanosomiasis or African Sleeping Sickness
Colonial organisms
volvox
one/single-celled individuals
Handle nutrition, locomotion, and response to stimuli
Each contains chloroplasts, a stigma, and a pair of flagella
Somatic cells (zooid)
Produce microgametes (sperm) and Macrogametes (egg)
Reproductive cells (gonidium)
connects one zooid to another
Protoplasmic strands
reproduction of volvox
spring summer - asexually – repeated cell division
fall winter - sexually – sex cells
Obligate endoparasites → di kaya mabuhay sa labas
Causes malaria
Osmotrophic
Sporozoites, Trophozoites, Schizont
plasmodium
Slipper-shaped
paramecium
mouth of paramecium
Cytostome
Oral groove
vestibulum
gullet of paramecium
cytopharynx
osmoregulation of parameium
contractile vacuole
body covering of paramecium
pellicle
locomotion of parameicum
cilia
nucleus that regulated metabolism
macro
feeding of paramecium
holozoic - ingestion of organic food particles such as bacteria
nucleus for complex sexual reproduction
micro
temporary opening where undigested food is discharged
Anal pore
Free-living, solitary sessile ciliate
Bell-shaped primary thallus
Vorticella
contractile slender, can contract into a spiral spring shape when disturbed
stalk
distal end of the body
peristome lined with cilia
within the peristome
oral disc
cytostome - between peristome and orals disc
body covering of vorticella
pellicle
reproduction of vorticella
longitudinal binary fission and budding
