Q

Endosymbiosis

A

Relationship between 2 species in which 1 lives inside the other, common in evolutionary history (mitochondria, chloroplasts)

20
Q

Serial Endosymbiosis

A

Series of endosymbiotic events

21
Q

Primary Endosymbiosis

A

Phagocytosis of bacterium by larger cell

23
Q

Describe later primary endosymbiosis

A

Chloroplasts (later): Cyanobacteria within heterotrophic eukaryote

24
Q

Secondary Endosymbiosis

A

Bigger eukaryote (heterotrophic) engulfs smaller eukaryote (autotrophic) -> secondary plastids

Red algae, green algae (chlorophytes, charophytes), land plants (ALL PHOTOSYNTHETIC)

39
Q

Red Algae

A

ARCHAEPLASTIDA

- Red due to phycoerythrin
- Absorb blue, green light
- Many live very deep
- Usually warm, tropical water

A

ARCHAEPLASTIDA
- Closely related to land plants- very similar chloroplasts
- Many forms- unicellular, colonial

2 main groups
Chlorophytes- mostly freshwater
Charophytes- clade that contains plants

Q

Stramenopiles

A

SAR
Shared derived traits: Often have flagellum with hair-like projections
Often paired with “smooth” flagellum

- Diatoms
- Golden algae (TINY)
- Brown algae- multicellular

43
Q

Alveolates

A

SAR
Shared derived trait: Alveoli: Flattened vesicles just inside plasma membrane- support membrane

- Apicomplexans
- Ciliates

44
Q

Rhizarians

A

SAR
Shared derived trait: Genetic similarities
Often have protective shells of calcium or silica
Radiolarians
Foraminiferans
Cercozoans
Important geologically

45
Q

Typical “blob” shape
Lobe- or tube- shaped pseudopodia
Slime molds- not fungi
Entamoebas- free-living or parasitic

46
Q

Opisthokonta

A

Diverse group
Includes animals, fungi, several groups of protists

Nucleariids- protists, closely related to fungi
Choanoflagellates- unicellular, closely related to animals
