LESSON 6: D5 - The Protists Flashcards
What is the most diverse kingdom?
Kingdom protista
Can protists be moblie or staionary?
Both
Can protists be terristal or aquatic
Both
Are all protists harmful?
No, however, many are.
What is the protist disease that is the greatest concern to human?
Maleria
-Carried in mosquitos
-Cuased by several speices of Plasmodium
Are protist mulit-cellular or uni-cellular
Single celled
Do protists have membrane bound organelles?
Yes
What charcteristic differentiate kingdom Proista from being put in other kingdoms?
-Cell walls are amde up of cellulose and not chitin like Fungi
-Had given rise to members of kigndom Plantee, and have differen reproduction methods from it
-Animal-like protists are belivied to given rise to all larger organisims in kindom amilia
Why are animal-like protists not considerd animals?
-Because animals are multi-ceulluar and protists are not
Whos ancestors gave rise to fungi, plants and animals?
Protists
What are thethree catgories mebers of protista are group into?
-Fungus
-Animal-like protists
-Plant cell unicellular and multi-cellular
What are 3 ways of locomtoion for protists?
- Cilates (Hair like)
-Flagellates (whip like) - pseudopodia (faek foot made from cytoplasma)
What is Plasmodium
Is a protist thta causes Maleria
How is Maleria from an infected mosquito passed to a human?
Passed from the salvia of the mosquito.
Giardia Lamlia
- Known as beaver fever
-found in waters with beaver dams near
-Drinking the water can lead to stomach pain, diarreah and more
Trichomonas baginalis
-Trich is a STD
-Known as a protozan parasite
-Both men and women can be infected
- Includes burnign and itching
-Can be treated with anti-biotics
Crypotosporiuium
- Lives in the intestines specifically the small intestine
-Found in foods, water, surfaces
-Spread through stool - Has an outshell which allows it to survive longer
Signs include cramps, watery stool, weight loss etc
Porphyra
- A helpful protists
-Found in seaweed, paints, makeup, food addtivies, agar and carrageenan
Why are protists important?
- Play key rolls in ecosystems such as preforming photosynthesis and acting as producers
-They can be consumers and help the macroscopic food pryamid
-Play a role in terrestial ecosystems. For example, they are food in a lot fo soils
Who were the first eukaryotes?
Protists
How was the nucules formed
-From internal folding of the cell membrane
How were organelles like the mitochondria and chloroplast formed?
Endosymbiosis
- When one type of cell is taken in and lives within another cell
How is kingdom protista used as a matter of convenince?
- ANY speices that do not fit into the other kingdoms are put into kingdom protista
-It is sor tof like a “catch-all”
Is there a typical protist?
No, because they are very diverse yet still simple. They can differ from one another.
Different
-Energies
-Cellular features
-modes of reproduction
-interactions with their enviroment
What organisims do kingodom protista include?
Every eukaryotic organsim that isn’t…
-Plant
-Fungi
-Animal
KEEP IN MIND ORGANISIMS IN KINGDOM PROTISTA CAN BE MULTICELLULAR OR UNICELLULAR
What domian do proists fall under?
Domain Eukarya
Where do protists live?
In wet or damp enviroments
