Protista

Question 1

Prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
Type of environment? 
Cell type? 
Size?
How they get their food?

Answer 1

Eukaryote 
Moist environment 
Either uni/multicellular 
Microscopic/over 100m long 
Either Hetero/auto trophs

Question 2

What are diatoms?

Answer 2

Microscopic, unicellular algae

Cell walls contain Siltea

Question 3

What are dinoflagellates:

Answer 3

Microscopic, unicellular algae

Flagella found on surface waters

Question 4

Plant-like Protista: 
Common type? 
How they get food?
What happens when they photosynthesize?
How do they reproduce? 
Examples of uni & multicellular algae

Answer 4

Aquatic eukaryote
Autotrophic- have chlorophyll to make own food
Release lots of oxygen in photosynthesis
Uni: diatoms. Light mic rise
Multi: seaweeds
Asexual

Question 5

Types of algae groups according to photosynthetic pigment of cell wall and presence of flagella:

Answer 5

Green: spirogyra (slime)- green seaweed
Brown: kelp
Red: red sea weed

Question 6

Animal like Protista:
Cell type?
How they get their food?

Answer 6

Unicellular
Heterotrophs
Swim actively looking for food

Question 7

Protozoan groups according to locomotion:

4

Answer 7

Amoeboids: move and feed by temperature cytoplasmic projections ( pseudopodia)
Ciliates: swim and catch food by cilia
Flagellates: use flagella for locomotion
Parasite: non motive

Question 8

What is plankton?

Answer 8

Numerous micro organisms floating in currents of open seas

Question 9

Types of plankton ?

Answer 9

Phytoplankton: plant like unicellular protists (ALGAE)
Zooplankton: bacteria + animal like protists (PROTOZOANS)
