Proterozoic Flashcards
This molecular motor travels along actin fibers
Myosin
This region of the bacterial cell was surrounded by the endomembrane system during the evolution of the first eukaryotes.
Nucleoid
Cyktoskeletal microtubules are composed if this protein.
Tubulin
The final pH as digestion ends inside a protozoan food vacuole.
Alkaline
Higher taxon that includes protozoans.
Kingdom
In the diplontic life cycle which type of chromosomal compliment dominates?
Diploid
Cell wall polymer in fungi-like eukaryotic protists.
Chitin
The contents of this organelle contain the digestive enzymes that will fuse with the food vacuole in protozoans.
Lysosome
This type of wave is used by a ciliate when the cilia beat on the surface of their body.
Metachronal
Each of the nine microtubular bundles arranged around the centriole consists of how many microtubules?
Three
– In the endosymbiont theory what type of metabolism did the first eukaryote cell have?
Anaerobic
This nucleus is the larger of the two different nuclei found in ciliates.
Macro-nucleus
The guiding filament for the myosin motor.
Actin
Protozoa with cilia are given this common name.
Cilia
One of the two ways that flagella beat.
Spiral
If during the life cycle haploid cells produced by meiosis do not form gametes the cells are given a different name – what is it?
Spores
Common name for a single celled photosynthetic eukaryotes.
Algea
The type of cell fission that creates two equal sized daughter cells
Binary
Water expulsion vesicle.
Contructive vesicle
Number of membranous bilipid layers surrounding the photosynthetic organelle created by secondary endosymbiosis.
Four
Nuclear pores in the eukaryote nucleus allow this molecule to more from inside the nucleus into the cytoplasm of the cell.
mRNA
In addition to the mitochondria this organelle in photosynthetic autotrophs also arose for the first time by a primary endosymbiotic event.
Plastid
Fungi-like protists use this type of nutritional strategy.
Absorptive
Food always enters a ciliate through this cellular structure on the cell surface.
Cytosome
Polymerized proteins convert the endoplasm to this during amoeboid movement.
Ectoplasm
the part of amoeba where endoplasm is converted to ectoplasm.
Front
This is the first type of cells attacked by the malaria parasite when it first enters the human host.
Liver
Mitochondrial DNA takes this bacterial shape.
Circle
this type of gliding was probably a precursor to movement in the first eukaryote cells.
Cellular
Each tubulin molecule is composed of how many proteins?
Two
