Lecture 2 - Locomotion Flashcards
movement in which an animal changes its place and position in search of food, partners, protection, and suitable environment in response to stimulus
locomotion
only life forms that have muscles
animals
what are the locomotory organelles of unicellular orgainsms
- cilia
- flagella
- pseudopodia
specialized contractile tissues that are unique to the animal kingdom
muscles
Properties of muscle fibers
- excitability
- contractility
- extensibility
- elasticity
proteins that participate in the function of muscles
- actin
- myosin
What are the locomotory organelles in protozoans
- pseudopodia
- cilia
- flagella
- pellicular contractile structures
- structures observed on certain unicellular organisms and some animal cells that function as a way of locomotion and a way to capture and engulf food
- extrusion of cytoplasm
- not permanent
pseudopodia
where are pseudopodia observed
in “naked protozoans”
protozoans that do not have a definite pellicle
naked protozoans
- The outer surface layer of some protozoa
- sufficiently rigid to maintain a distinctive shape, as in the trypanosomes and Giardia
pellicle
Two areas of the cytoplasm of protozoans
- Ectoplasm
- Endoplasm
pseudopodia are mainly formed by what area of cytoplasm
ectoplasm
Different types of Pseudopodia
- Lobopodia
- Reticulopodia
- Filopodia
- Axopodia
- broad, lobe-like, sometimes branched, with rounded tips
- consists of both ectoplasm and endoplasm
- can project in different directions
- exhibited by amoeba
- movement is by pressure flow mechanism
lobopodia
protozoan representative of lobopodia
amoeba
movement mechanism of lobopodia
pressure flow mechanism
shape of lobopodia
- broad, lobe-like
- sometimes branched
- rounded tips
composition of lobopodia
- ectoplasm
- endoplasm
- thread-like hyaline projections
- pointed tips
- radiate from the body in all directions
- unlike lobopodia, it is composed only of ectoplasm
- filamentous in nature
- taper from base to tip
filopodia
shape of filopodia
- thread-like hyaline projections
- pointed tips
composition of filopodia
ectoplasm only
protozoan representative of filopodia
Euglypha
- complex networks of anastomose branching
- filamentous
- exhibit a two way flow of their cytoplasm
reticulopodia
shape of reticulopodia
- anastomose branching
- filaments are branched and interconnected
purpose of anastomose branching of reticulopodia
useful in food capture
flow of cytoplasm in reticulopodia
two way flow
protozoan representative of reticulopodia
Globigerina
- spine-like radiating the surface of rounded body
- composed of outer cytoplasm
axopodia
what does the outer cytoplasm in axopodia cover
axial rods
protozoan representative of axopodia
Actinophrys
fine, delicate, and thread-like/ hair-like extension of the protoplasm that allow cells to move
flagella
composition of flagella
axoneme
what surrounds the axoneme
protoplasmic sheath
axoneme consists of what?
two longitudinal fibrils
protoplasmic sheath contains of what?
nine duplets of longitudinal fibrils
microtubule arrangement of flagella
9+2 arrangement
where do the microtubules in flagella lie
very dense cytoplasm
flagellar appendages or flagellar hairs (flimmer) that are only found on the flagella of protists
Mastigonemes
Different types of flagella based on their mastigonemes
- Stichonematic
- Pantonematic
- Acronematic
- Pantacronematic
- Anematic
mastigonemes are present on one side of the flagellum
stichonematic
Example of protozoa that is stichonematic
- Euglena
- Astasia
Two or more rows of mastigonemes are present on both sides of the flagellum.
pantonematic
Example of protozoa that is pantonematic
- Peranema
- Monas
The mastigonemes are absent and the distal ends of the flagellum end as a terminal, naked, axial filament
acronematic
Example of protozoa that is acronematic
Chlamydomonas
The mastigonemes are present on 2 rows on the lateral sides of the flagellum but the flagellum ends in a terminal, naked, axial filamen
pantachronematic
Example of protozoa that is pantachronematic
Urceolus
The flagellum is simple without mastigonemes and/or terminal naked filament are absent.
Anematic
Example of protozoa that is anematic
Cryptomonas
mostly, where does the flagella originate
anterior end
species that have its flagella originate on the posterior end
Trypanosoma
- reatively much shorter when compared to the size of the body
- more in number and cover the entire body
- move in different way from those of the flagella
cilia
cytoplasm composition of cilia
ectoplasm
