Protista groups Flashcards
Excavates
Parabaslids (termites). Diplomonads (garia I). Euglenoids and Kintoplastids (thick flagella)
Archaeplastids
Red Algae (green and blue wavelengths, deep sea level, sushi). Green algae (closest to land plants, symbiosis with fungi to make lichen)
Rizaria
Foraminifera and Radiolarians (marine plankton, silica shells)
Chromalveolates
sacs under plasma membrane. Paramecium, Dinoflagellates, plasmodium, diatoms, coccolithophores, brown algae, golden algae, yellow-green algae
Amoebozans
phagocytosis. slime molds (Dictyostelium, unicellular signaling)
Opistokonta
predecessor of sponges
Chromalveolate (parcium)
oral groove digests other organisms
Chromalveolate (dinoflagellates)
heterotrophs and photoautotrophs. Endosymbiont with coral and anemones. Causes bioluminescence and red tides
Chromalevolate (Plasmodium)
causes malaria, attacks liver
Chromalevolate (stremenophiles, diatoms)
silica shell
Chromalveolates (stremenophiles, coccolithophores)
plates made of calcium bicarbonate, thrives in poor waters
Chromalveolates (stremnophiles, brown algae)
Kelp, alternation of generations
Chromalveolates (stremnophiles, golden algae)
silica scales, thrives in freshwater, carotenoid fucoxanthin to make colors
Chromalveolates (stremnophiles yellow-green algae)
C chlorophyll gives its color. found in salt marshes
