Q

Phylum Diplomonada

A

very primitive group because they lack mitochondria and golgi bodies. Ex. Giardia lamblia .

Humans injest the cyst by drinking infected water. Grows into a trophozoite in the small intestine. Munches on the mucus on the vili. Results in explosive Diarrhea because of the loss of absorption. Has two nuclei and a axostyle for stability

Q

Phylum Euglenozoa

A

Contains C. Phytoflagellates and C. kinetoplastids
Have a stigma that is light sensitive, a pellicle, and a paramylon granule (used for storing starch). The flagella is anchored by basal bodies. Has a contractile vacuole.

Q

C. Kinetoplastic

A

Flagella is anchored along the cell surface (Undulating Membrane).
Ex. Trypanosoma brucei (Causes sleeping sickness). T. Cruzi causes Chaga’s disease.

Q

Trypanosoma brucei

A

Kinetoplastid vector: tsetse fly. Typansome in saliva of fly injected into host, host develops chacre and lymph nodes swell. The parasite will live in the bloodstream. and will be taken in by another fly. Has antigen shifting

Q

Phylum Foramifera

A

Have long thin reticulopodia, made the cliffs of dover

17
Q

Clade Alveolata

A

They have an alveoli, which are sac like structures. They are different under electron microscopes.

18
Q

Clade/Phylum Apicomplexa

A

Endoparasitic, they have an apical complex. Malaria is included in this.

19
Q

Plasmodium vivax

A

Part of the apicomplexa, vector is the female mosquito. It has a sexual and asexual life cycle. The vector is the mosquito (Anopheles). It has a sexual and asexual life cycle. Learn it!

20
Q

Phylum Dinoflagellata

A

They have shells made out of cellulose and have two flagellas. They cause red tide, toxins that is highly damaging to fish and other marine life.
Ex. Pfysteria

21
Q

Clade Alveolata Phylum Ciliophora

A

The body is covered in cilia that beat in a coordinated manner. Has an undulating membrane formed from fused cilia. Food comes into the gullet.

22
Q

Conjugation

A

A temporary union, the macronucleus disintegrates and the micronucleus of each individual undergoes meiosis, producing four haploid micronuclei, only one makes it, this one divides into two haploid pronuclei, one is exchanged in each conjugate. They fuse to restore diploid number.
