Q

Compare these flagella types: isokontous, heterokontous, haptonema.

A
  1. Isokontous: Flagella (more than 1) that are similar in length and type.
  2. Heterokontous: Dissimilar flagella (more than 1), of unequal length, and/or one smooth and one hairy (“tinsellated”).
  3. Haptonema: Superficially resembles flagellum but different internal anatomy (no 9+2 microtubular structure).
    - function uncertain but may be used for defence, food capture, or attachment.
    - exclusive to Division Haptophyta.

Q

Why do diatoms produce a cyst?

A

They progressively get smaller with each instance of sexual reproduction, so they create a cyst (sexual reproduction), which restores them to a larger size.

Q

In cyanophyta, all groups except Chamaesiphonales have gas vacuoles (pseudovacuoles).

Describe what they are.

A

 Self-erecting cylindrical vesicles (in bundles) containing atmospheric gases that gives buoyancy.

 Filling with air lets them float to the surface but increases cell turgor pressure (due to more light = more photosynthates/ sugars produced = higher osmotic pressure), causes the vacuoles to break, the cyanobacteria then sinks to darker waters and uses up the sugars, osmotic pressure is released and more gas vacuoles are made, and then it floats up again.
