Lecture 13 Protists Flashcards
Exam
Domain Eukarya
Have nucleus, organelles, unicellular or multicellular
Domain Archea
Unicellular (all)
Extremophiles
Domain Bacteria
all unicellular
includes pathogens
ancestors to mitochondria + chloroplasts
Endosymbiosis
ancestral archean + Aerobic bacterium
heterotrophic bacterium + photosynthetic
Photosynthetic eukaryotes
Protist Diversity: cells and nutrient
Mostly unicellular- Some colonial and multicellular
nutrition: photoautotrophs
heterotrphs
mixotrophs
Nutrition
Photoautotrophs: sunlight to make sugars
Heterotrophs: absorb/ingest food
MIxotrophs: do both
Protist ecological diversity
Mostly aquatic can be terrestrial (damp soil)
Win-win symbiotic Relationship
mutually beneficial
photosynthetic protist + coral
termites + heterotrophic protist
Win- loose symbiotic relationships
that causes malane
Decomposers
Orgs that eat dead organic matter
nutrient recyclers
Producers
organisms that does photosynthesis
-form base of food webs, eaten by consumers
PSN %
30% of al PSN = protists
20% of all PSN = bacteria
50 % of all PSN = plants
Primary Endosymbiosis
Prokaryote + Prok= euk
1) early heterotrophic eukaryote engulfed a photosynthetic bacterium
2) early PSN eukaryote
3) diverged to give red + green algae (differ in PSN pigments)
Algae
PSN protist
Secondary endosymbiosis
heterotrophic eukaryote engulfing a PSn eukaryote
euk + euk = euk
