Lectures 5&6 Flashcards
Eukaryotes that do not have distinctive features of animals, plants, or fungi
Paraphyletic group
Fossils of protists are found in rocks that are ____ BYA. The first protists appeared after ___ became abundant in the atmosphere and oceans
1.8-1.5
oxygen
Protists that lived millions of years ago settled to the sea floor. Pressure and heat transformed them into ____ and ___
Petroleum
Natural Gas
Eukaryotes that do not have the distinctive features of animals, plants, or fungi
Protista
Characteristics of protista cell surface. Some with ____ only and others with ___ made of different material
plasma membrane
cell wall
Protista mechanisms of movement.
Motile or non-motile
Three types of motile appendages of protists
pseudopodia
flagella
cilia
Transient projections of the cytoplasm
Pseudopodia
Three types of protist body structure
Unicellular
Colonial
Multicellular
Most protists live in water, moist soil, or ____
moist interiors of other organisms
What are the 5 Types of asexual reproduction of protists
Spores Binary fission Budding Schizogony Fragmentation
A haploid structure, usually unicellular, that can be dormant and eventually give origin to an adult organisms without fusion to another cell
Spore
What are the 3 types of sexual reproduction of protists
Haplontic (zygotic meiosis)
Diplontic (gametic meiosis)
Haplodiplontic (sporic meiosis, alternation of generations)
Animals and some protists have this life cycle. The only haploid cell in the cycle are the gametes. Only the diploid cell undergo mitosis. The gametes do not divide
Diplontic life cycle
Occurs in most fungi ad some protists. The only diploid cell in the cycle is the zygote. The dominant generation is the haploid generation. Only the haploid cells undergo mitosis.
Haplontic life cycle
Life cycle of most lats and some protists. Both diploid and haploid cells undergo mitosis.
Haplodiplontic life cycle
Protists are alike in that all ____
have a nucleus
Eukaryotes are divided into 6 monophyletic supergroups. Each supergroup includes ____. Each supergroup is a ____
protists
clade
A group of species that includes the ancestral species and all its descendants.
Clade
The classification of organisms is based on analysis of
DNA sequences
Unicellular with feeding grooves on the side of their bodies
Excavata
Lack functional mitochondria. Have two nuclei. Example is Giardia which causes diarrhea (hiker’s diarrhea)
Diplomonads
Lack functional mitochondria. Have undulating membranes. Example is Trichomonas vaginalis which causes inflammation of the vagina.
Parabasalids
Some Excavata live in the gut of termites and digest wood. Symbiotic relationship among three organisms:
The termite, the protist, and the bacteria that digest cellulose.
Have a rod inside their flagella
Euglenozoa
Unicellular with two flagella. Some photosynthetic with chlorophylls a and b and carotenoids. The chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis of a green alga (secondary endosymbiosis)
Euglenoids
Some euglenoids may ingest food particles by phagocytosis and some are ____
heterotrophs
