Protists Flashcards
Diplomonida
clade 1-protist lack plastids and mitochondria do not have DNA, live anaerobic environments. 2 nuclei + multiple flagella
parabasala
clad 1-protist lack plastids and mitochondria do not have DNA, live anaerobic environments.
euglenozoa
clade 2-presence of crystalline rod inside flagella+have disk shaped mitochondrial christae
kinetoplastid
euglenozoa with single large kinetoplast mass of DNA in mitochondria.
euglenids
euglenozoa- lack cell wall but have pellicle. have light detector and short flagella
alveolates
clade 3-membrane bounded sacs (alveoli) beneath plasma membrane
dinoflagellates
alveolate - hamburger shaped with internal plates of cellulose with flagella in groove causes spinning. cause of red tide and bioluminescence
apicocomplexans
alveolate- parasites of animals by sporozoites. have nonphotosynthetic plastid: apicoplast.
plasmodium life cycle
apicocomplexan causes malaria; short dipolid zygote stage. oocyst produces sporozoites and gametocytes form in red blood cells
ciliates
alveolate- use cilia to move and feed
paramecium cycle
ciliate which produces 4 macronucleus and dipolid micronucleus during fusion
conjugation
two ciliates exchange haploid micronuclei
ciliates
apicocomplexan; most notable is paramecium
stramenophile
clade 4-smooth and hairy flagellum
oomycetes
stramenophile; water molds with cell walls made of cellulose and hyphae but are not fungi
