Major super groups of protists
SAR Archiplastida excavata Amoebozoa opisthokonta
Major Phylum of excavata
Diplomonads
Parabasilids
Euglenozoans
What Classifies Excavata
Excavated body cavity
Characteristic of Diplomonads
Reduced mitochondria
Characteristic of Parabasilids
Very reduced mitochondria
Characteristic of euglenozoans
Very Diverse group tied together because of flagella morphology
Characteristic of Amoebozoa
Shapeless Psuedoped (false foot)
Define: endosymbioses
When a bacteria gets consumed but not digested
Define: Secondary Endosymbioses
When an organism that has experienced endosymbiosis gets consumed and not digested.
How many membranes are expected around organelles that have experienced primary endosymbiosis
two membranes
How many membranes are expected around organelles that have experienced secondary endosymbiosis
3 membranes
What is the significance of amoeba in soil
They consume bacteria, and put more carbon in the soil, affecting plant growth.
What factor does temperature play on predation of amoeba in soil
the warmer the temperatures the greater the rate of predation.
Characteristic of Opisthokonta
Single pushing flagella
What super group are Fungi and Metazoans derived from
Opisthokonta
