Lecture 25 - protists II (SI) Flashcards
Alveolates
- unicellular with subcellular cavities
- classified with molecular systematics
Alveolates subgroups
- Dinoflagellates
- Apicomplexans
- Ciliates
Rhizaria
Use pseudopodia to move and feed
Rhizaria subgroups
- Radiolarians
- Forams
- Heliozoa
Stramenopiles
- fine hairlike projections on the flagella (mostly in reproductive cells)
- both heterotrophs and autotrophs in this group
Stramenopiles subgroups
- Oomycetes
- Brown algae
- Diatoms
- Golden algae
- Heterokonts
Archaeplastida
-contains land plants, their ancestors, and relatives
Archaeplastida subgroups
- Charophytes
- Rhodophyta
- Chlorophytes
Amoebozoans of Unikont
Bridge between unicellular and multicellular
Amoebozoans of Unikont subgroups
- Slime molds
- Rhizopods
- Cellular slime molds
Opisthokonts of Unikonts
Group that connects protists with animals
Opisthokonts of Unikonts
- Choanoflagellates
What are cilia used for in ciliates?
feeding and motion
Micro vs Macro nuclei in ciliates
micro (used for reproduction)
macro (used for day to day function and metabolism)
What happens during reproduction of Ciliates?
-micronuclei swapped between two ciliates
-fuse together after conjugation
-mitosis to produce new macro-nucleus, binary fission, 4 daughter cells
