Q

trychonympha

A

produce enzymes which break down wood in termite gut (mutualism)

17
Q

More Protozoans clades and sub clades

A

Clade Alveolata

Sub-clade: Dinoflagellates

18
Q

Sub-clade: Dinoflagellates

A
Freshwater or marine, with 2 flagella
Reproduce asexually only
Red tide
Produce a neurotoxin which can kill fish/accumulate in shellfish tissue
Can be bioluminescent
19
Q

Red tide

A

population explosion which results in a “slick” of dinoflagellates covering surface of water

20
Q

Protozoans

A

Clade Alveolata
Sub-clade: Apicomplexans
Sub-clade: Ciliates

21
Q

Sub-clade: Apicomplexans

A

Heterotrophic parasites of animals

Plasmodium causes malaria

22
Q

Sub-clade: Ciliates

A

Covered in cilia – filaments used for movemment and feeding
Micronuclei used in sexual reproduction (conjugation)
Macronuclei used in physiological functions
Paramecium – free swimming, oral feeding grove, reproduces sexually
Vorticella – stalked, sessile, cilia draw in water/ food, reproduces either sexually or asexually

23
Q

Protista: Algae & Diatoms

A

Perform approx. ½ of the atmospheric carbon fixation

24
Q

Cellular organization of Protista: Algae & Diatoms

A

Unicellular: single free-living cell, some are motile
Filamentous: chains of cells attached end to end, some are motile, branched/unbranched
Colonial: groups of cells attached to ea.other (flat sheet, or spherical)
Multicellular: 3D, specialization of cell function

25
Q

Green algae (chlorophyta) have been moved to

A

Viridiplantae

26
Q

Protista: Algae and Diatoms clades and sub-clades

A
Clade Stramenopila (brown algae and diatoms) not plants.
Sub-clade: Phaeophyta (brown algae)
27
Q

Sub-clade: Phaeophyta (brown algae)

A

Large species have blades (leaf-like), bladder, stipe, holdfast (not a true root) Provide habitat for many animals species Ex. Baby sea turtles
Fucus – rockweed, grows in cool marine intertidal zone Male and female

28
Q

Name of Large species have blades (leaf-like), bladder, stipe, holdfast (not a true root) (fig. 6,7)

A

Stramenopila-Not a true root because it doesn’t deliver nutrients to the rest of the plant.

29
Q

Clade Stramenopila: Brown Algae are like us because…

A

Diplontic life cycle – diploid cellular form for most of the life cycle, haploid reproductive cells

30
Q

Conceptacles

A

cavities on blades that hold/protect reproductive structures, Protect them from damage when they are exposed to air.

31
Q

Oogonia

A

eggs

32
Q

Antheridia

A

sperm

33
Q

Diploid and haploid top or bottom

A

diploid=top

haploid=bottom

34
Q

Clade Rhodophyta (red algae)

A

warm marine species, no flagellated cells

35
Q

Protista: Protozoans

A
Clade Rhizopoda
Clade Foraminifera (“bears little holes”)
36
Q

Clade Foraminifera (“bears little holes”)

A

“Shelled” amoebas: heterotrophic, marine

37
Q

Clade Rhizopoda

A

Amoebas: heterotrophic and single celled(A-morphic constatly changing its shape)
Brain-eating amoeba. Thru nose and enters sprain. Brain becomes inflaamed.

38
Q

Pseudopods

A

(false feet)-allows movement in any direction, track and follow food

39
Q

Protista: Slime molds

A

Clade Myxomycota-

grow around and eat it that’s why its not a fungus and fungus feeds by
