Lec 1 Part 2 Flashcards
Referred to as the mass of aggregates of granules
Karyosomes
Contains karyosome which is frequently near or at the center of the cell
Vesicular Nucleus
Compact nucleus
- contain a large amount of granular chromatin
- less nucleoplasm
- limiting the nucleus
- minute channels connecting nucleoplasm with endoplasm
Nuclear membrane
- Found around the nucleus
- serves as an area for food vacuoles
- food synthesis occurs
Endoplasm
Ectoplasm
- envelops the endoplasm
- less granular, more homogeneous
- referred as openings
- pulsating
Contractile vacuoles
- relatively tough membrane
- present in encysted stage
- secreted by ectoplasm
- to protect the organism
- found in Amoebae
Cyst wall
Cell mouth
Cytostome
Cell anus
Cytopyge
Excretory vacuoles
The collection of fluid waste that is rejected from the cell
Semipermeable membrane
Controls the intake and output of food secretions and excretions
Describe:
Plasma membrane in amoeba
No constant shape. Changes forms.
Describe:
Plasma membrane of free-living protozoa
Nonliving calcareous and siliceous shell secreted by ectoplasm
Appendage used by protozoa that is free flowing movement in amoeba
Pseudopodia
Appendage used by protozoa that are hair-like projections of cytoplasm. They arise from the kinetoplast
Flagella
Cilia
Appendage used by protozoa that are short threads which arise from the basal granules
