Protist And Bacteria Flashcards
Main components of a protist
Unicellular
Have a true nucleus
Cause disease
Can be parasites
Eukaryotic
Like in watery environments
What are the 3 categories of protists?
Animal like
Plant like
Fungus like
Factors of an Animal like protists
- No cell wall
Protozoan
Move on own
Nucleus
Heterotrophs
What are the 4 groups of animal like protists
Sarcoidoses
Ciliates
Flagellates
Sporozoans
What does the pseudopods do in a sarcodines
Means they can extend out
Sarcodines summary
Pseudopods
Extension of the cell membrane and cytoplasm
Pseudopods for movement and food
Have shells that form limestone, marble, etc
What’s a contractile vacuole? A food vocuole?
It controls the amount of water inside a pseudopod. Where the food is digested
How do amebas work within a sarcodine?
Ambers divide by binary fission
Respond to environment
Sensitive to light + chemicals
Structure of a Ciliate
Cilia on outside of cells
Small, hair like projections use for movement, to feel, and food
What does chemotactic and phototactic mean?
Respond to chemicals, respond to light
Describe paramecium
Pellicle - hard outer wall
Slipper shape
Oral grove
Gullet holds food
Anal pore
2 contractile vocoules
2 nuclei
Can reproduce either way
Structure of a flagellate/
Have a flagellum
Long, while like structure used to move
Follow symbiosis
Follow mutualism
Points of sporozoans?
All parasites
Feed on cells, body fluid
Form spores
Go from host to host
Come from bugs to animal to human
Algae
Autotrophs
Colonies
Move on own
Unicellular and multicellular
What are the 6 groups of plant like protists?
- Euglenoids
Dictions
Dinoflagellates
Red algae
Green Algae
Brown Algea
Euglenoids
Green
Unicellular
Autotrophs
Flagella
There eyespot is sensitive to light
Chloroplasts
Pellicle
Diatoms
Unicellular
Aquatic
Glass cell wall
Diatomaceous earth: course powder from dead diatoms
Dinoflagellates
Unicellular
Cell wall is strong
2 flagella
Spins when it moves
Colourful
Can glow
Causes red tide
Red algae
Multicellular
Live in deep water
Green algae
Unicellular
Form colonies
Live anywhere
Brown algae
Air bladders
Seaweed
What are fungus like protists
Heterotrophs
Have cell walls
Flagella
Reproduce with spores
