Q

What types of protists use pseudopodia?

A

Amoeba

17
Q

What is the role of pseudopodia?

A

Used by amoeba for locomotion and feeding.

18
Q

What are the 4 defining traits of amoeba’s?

A

Large nucleus, food vacuoles, outer ectoplasm and inner endoplasm

19
Q

Contractile Vacuole

A

Clear, round body that rapidly forms and disappears in Amoeba and other freshwater protists. They pump out excess water gained by osmosis to maintain homeostasis.

20
Q

Foraminiferans

A

Amoeba with calcareous tests perforated with tiny pores. Marine organism that makes up sea bed

21
Q

Radiolarians

A

Silica tests of many different species - marine organism -make up sea bed

22
Q

Flagellate Group

A

Use flagella for locomotion, photosynthetic

23
Q

Euglena

A

Part of Flagellate Group - red eyespot, chloroplasts and flagellum

24
Q

Volvox

A

colonial organism, large hollow ball of cells each with their own flagella, small daughter colonies inside the volvox colony

25
Q

Ciliate Group

A

Very diverse group that uses cilia for locomotion - tough outer pellicle, oral groove, vacuoles and anal pore

26
Q

Pellicle

A

Tough outer flexible test found in ciliate group

27
Q

How many types of nuclei do Ciliates have?

A

2

28
Q

What is the role of Ciliates’ macronucleus?

A

metabolic processes

29
Q

What is the role of Ciliates’ micronuclei?

A

Sexual Reproduction

30
Q

Paramecium (Name 5 traits)

A

Cilliate - cilia, pellicle, oral groove, contractile vacuoles and 2 types of nuclei

31
Q

Vorticella

A

Cilliate - attaches by a stalk to a piece of debris, cilia, pellicle, oral groove, contractile vacuoles

32
Q

Contractile stalk

A

In Vorticella - goblet-shaped organism attached to the substrate by this - Stalk can shorten and serve as an escape response

33
Q

Stentor

A

Blue-green ciliates - shaped as call or vase-shaped, cilia difficult to see

34
Q

Diatom Group

A

Photosynthetic protists with distinctive cell walls embedded with silica

35
Q

Frustules

A

2 part cell walls of diatom group

36
Q

How do Diatoms move?

A

No flagella or cilia, planktonic or move with mucus secretions
