Kingdom Protista

Question 0

How do kingdom Protista move

Answer 0

Some free float- plankton at base of food chain, some move by cilia or flagella

Question 1

What are characteristics of the kingdom Protista

Answer 1

Unicellular, microscopic, photosynthetic, autotrophic, some heterotrophic,

Question 2

Why are animals, plants, and fungi not a kingdom Protista

Answer 2

Because they lack specialized cells and features of the kingdom Protista reason bc they are multicellular

Question 3

What do kingdom Protista not form

Answer 3

Specialized multicellular reproductive structures

Question 4

Classifications of kingdom Protista

Answer 4

Protozoa-heterotrophic

Question 5

Protozoa-heterotrophic:

Answer 5

Paramecium, euglena, amoeba algae-autotrophic(photosynthetic)

Question 6

Examples of Protists

Answer 6

Amoebas-phylum Rhizopoda, foraminifera-forums, diatoms-phylum bacillariophyta, flagellates, and ciliates.

Question 7

How do Amoebas-phylum Rhizopoda move?

Answer 7

Using cytoplasmic streaming(ameboid) movement often called pseudopodia “false foot”.

Question 8

Where do amoebas live?

Answer 8

They live in fresh and salt water

Question 9

What causes amebic dysentery in amoebas?

Answer 9

Because they are heterotrophic but some parasitic like *Entamoeba histolytica.

Question 10

How is amebic dysentery characterized(symptoms)?

Answer 10

By bloody diarrhea, fever, something in voules, cramps, and vomiting.

Question 11

How is amebic dysentery spread?

Answer 11

Through fecal contaminated food and water.

Question 12

What forms a cyst for surviving poor conditions?

Answer 12

Amoebas

Question 13

Foraminifera-forums

Answer 13

Marine Protists that live in sand or attach to other organisms/rocks.

Question 14

Foraminifera are marine Protists that resemble A) amoebas B) tiny shells C) rocks D) small stars

Answer 14

B) tiny shells(called tests) containing grains of calcium carbonate

Question 15

What did the accumulation of these tests on ocean floors create?

Answer 15

Limestone deposites of many rock formations in OHIO.

Question 16

Diatoms-phylum Bacillariophyta are

Answer 16

Photosynthetic, double shell structure “box/lid”, radical “like a wheel” or bilateral

Question 17

What do diatoms form?

Answer 17

Diatomaceous earth used in paints, matches, and wax.

Question 18

Cell wall contains silica

Answer 18

Diatoms-phylum Bacillariophyta

Question 19

Flagellates

Answer 19

Are Protists that move by means of a whip like structure called a flagellum.

Question 20

Dinoflagellates-photosynthetic

Answer 20

They have 2 flagella, associated with the “red tide”

Question 21

Red tide

Answer 21

In which powerful toxins are released killing fish by the thousands.

Question 22

Zoomastigotes-heterotrophic

Answer 22

One flagella up to thousands.

Question 23

What are two important kinds of zoomastigotes-heterotrophs.

Answer 23

The ones that live in gut of termites and digest wood, and those that cause African Sleeping Sickness(trypanosomes)-mosquito transmission

Question 24

Euglenoids-fresh water

Answer 24

With two flagella, 1000 known species, some have chloroplasts and are autotrophic, some heterotrophic.

Question 25

What flagellates have light sensitive organelle called an eyespot-reddish?

Answer 25

Euglenoids- fresh water

Question 26

Ciliates

Answer 26

Have tiny rows of short flagella called cilia used for movement.

Question 27

Example of a ciliate

Answer 27

Paramecium

Question 28

How many species of ciliates?

Answer 28

8000 species

Question 29

How do ciliates obtain and digest food

Answer 29

Through the “oral groove”-a funnel shaped groove through which food travels. The unfolded food forms a food vacuole that is digested.

Question 30

In ciliates how is water released

Answer 30

Contractile vacuole

Question 31

Cryptosporidium(disease)

Answer 31

Passed through drinking water and contaminated with fecal matter from cattle usually.
