Protista, Archea and Bacteria

Question 0

Beta Proteobacteria

Answer 0

Play an important role with nitrogen recycling and live in soil environments.

Question 1

Alpha Proteobacteria

Answer 1

Many are associated with Eukaryotic hosts.

Question 2

Gamma Proteobacteria

Answer 2

Autotrophic are sulfur bacteria.

Heterotrophic bacteria are pathogens.

Question 3

Delta Proteobacteria

Answer 3

Colonial bacteria that produce fruiting bodies called myxobacteria.

Question 4

Epsilon Proteobacteria

Answer 4

Human/animal pathogens which cause blood poisoning.

Question 5

Chlamydias

Answer 5

Parasites survive only inside animals to use their ATP reserves.

Question 6

Spirochetes

Answer 6

Free-living or parasitic helical heterotrophs - move by rotating flagellum-like filaments.

Question 7

Cyanobacteria

Answer 7

Photosynthetic bacteria that can colonize together in chains or make symbiotic relations with algae.

Question 8

Gram-Positive Bacteria

Answer 8

Bacteria that has a large peptidoglycan membrane that reacts to a gram test. Many are pathogens, but most are free-living.

Question 9

Crenarchaeotes

Answer 9

Thermophile organisms found in high temperature environments like geysers.

Question 10

Nanoarchaeotes

Answer 10

Drastically smaller organisms relative to the other Archea.

Question 11

Euryarchaeotes

Answer 11

Extreme halophiles living in high concentration salt environments.

Question 12

Korarchaeotes

Answer 12

Combined organisms with varying traits of the Euryarchaeotes and Crenarchaeotes.

Question 13

Diplomonads & Parabasalids

Answer 13

Have modified/reduced mitochondria that can’t participate in the electron transport chain.

Question 14

Euglenozoans

Answer 14

This class of protists contain organisms with enlarged mitochondria and others with a pocket where the flagellum attaches.

Question 15

Dinoflagellates

Answer 15

Characterized by armor made of cellulose plates.

Question 16

Apicomplexans

Answer 16

parasites that infect humans by a cells called sporozites.

Question 17

Ciliates

Answer 17

Organisms that have large quantities of cilia covering the outside. This is how they move.

Question 18

Diatoms

Answer 18

algae with glass-like wall made of hydrated silica.

Question 19

Golden Algae

Answer 19

Biflagellated marine organisms with carotenoids causing the brown and yellow color.

Question 20

Brown Algae

Answer 20

multicellular marine organisms with brown color due to concentration of carontenoids. Known as seaweed.

Question 21

Oomyctes

Answer 21

Water molds, white rusts, and other mildews.
Water molds decompose dead organic material.
White rusts and mildews are parasites of land plants.

Question 22

Radiolarians

Answer 22

Needle pseudopodia with microtubule support structures.

Question 23

Foraminiferans

Answer 23

Have porous shells that the pseudopodia project out of for movement.

Question 24

Cercozoans

Answer 24

Many species are parasitic to other organisms and feed through threadlike projections (pseudopodia).

Question 25

Red Algae

Answer 25

Red coloring due to a photosynthetic accessory pigment called phycoerythrin.

Question 26

Green Algaes

Answer 26

Multicellular organisms with similar structures like that of plants - containing chloroplast.

Question 27

Amoebozoans

Answer 27

Mold types that interact or move with lobe or tube-shaped pseudopodia.
