Lesson 9 Flashcards
fungi
have cell walls and are heterotrophic.
heterotrophic
organisms feed on organic matter produced by other organisms
supergroups
a type of classification
pigments
substances that absorb light
unicellular algae
occur as single, unattached cells that may or may not be mobile
filamentous algae
species that occur as chains of cells attached end to end
colonial algae
occur as groups of cells attached to each other in a nonfilamentous manner
gametes that have identical shape and appearance
isogamous
syngamy
pairing and fusion of haploid gametes to form diploid gametes
resistant surface on a zygote
zygospore
spores
haploid individuals that are capable of developing into an adult without fusing with another cell
conjugation
process by which bacteria sexually reproduce. filaments of opposite mating types lie side by side and form projections that grow toward each other. these projections touch and form a conjugation tube through the separating wall dissolving.
diploid stage of the life cycle produces spores and is called the
sporophyte
gametophyte
haploid stage of the life cycle
alternating between diploid and haploid gametes
alternation of generations
oogamy
process of making oogonia
daughter colonies
when cells divide and produce new colonies called daughter colonies that are held inside the parent colony
brown pigment
fucoxanthin
conceptacles
tips of fucus branches
oogonia
female reproductive structures
male reproductive structure in algae
antheridia
hydrophobic substance that absorbs water
alginic acid
diatoms
unicellular algae containing chlorophylls a and c and xanthopylls
layers of earth containing diatoms
diatomaceous earth
layers of earth containing diatoms
diatomaceous earth
protozoans
eukaryotes with an animal-like heterotrophic ecology
movable extensions of cytoplasm used for locomotion and gathering food
pseudopods
food vacuole
formed from phagocytosis
contractile vacuole expells excess water
