Protist Flashcards
True nuclei Organelles 9+2 flagella Most unicellular Some are colonial and multicellular
Protist
Animal like Protists
Hetertrophic nutrition
Primarily Ingest their food
Protozoa
Plant like protist
Mostly photosynthetic nutrition (photoautotrophs)
Algae
Flexible; movie via pseudophodia(false feet)
Example: amoeba
Amoebae
Apical complex
Parocitic lifestyle
Example: plasmodium which causes malaria
Apicomplexans
Move via cilia
Macro and micronuclei present
Example: paramecium
Ciliates
Move via flagellates
Example trypanosoma which causes sleepy sickness
Euglena
Flagellates
Green color Cell walls made of cellulose Store starch Unicellular and colonies Example: volvox
Green algae
Marine algae that are multicellular
No true leaves, stems, or roots
Seaweeds
Glassy cell walls containing silica
Store oil
Unicellular
Important food source
Diatons
Unicellular
Enclosed by plates of cellulose
2 flagella causes spinning motion and can cause red tides (toxins)
Dinoflagellates
Reddish color
Most live in warm water
Red algae
Plantlike life cycle
Probably ancestors of plants
Example- ulva- needs bacteria to form
Multicellular green algae
Largest and most complex algae
Example: kelp
Brown algae
