Protists

Question 1

Types

Answer 1

Excavata
Rhizaria
Alveolata
Amoebozoa

Question 2

Excavata

Answer 2

Both chemoorganotrophs-mitochondria +phototrophs-Chlorplasts
both symbiotes+parasites

Question 3

Kinetoplastids-Kill

Answer 3

contain a kinetoplast-mass of DNA in their mitochondria-no undulating membrane
aquatic habitat-feed on bacteria-free-living
single flagellum
Ex: Trypanosoma brucei-African sleeping sickness-lives and grows in blood stream,digest blood cells,neurological symptoms

Question 3

Diplomonads-dumb

Answer 3

2 nuclei of equal size
Multiple flagella (2 or 4)
small genomes +parasites
Ex:Giardia lambila-found in feces contaminated water,giardiasis,waterborne diarrheal diseases

Question 4

Parabasalids-protists

Answer 4

contain a parabasal body-swim/steer
moves with undulating membrane +flagella
live in intestinal and urinary tract-parasites+commensal symbiote-digest food+break down.
Ex: Trichomonas vaginalis-STD-males and females,motile via flagella

Question 5

Euglenids-Ella

Answer 5

Chemotrophic +phototrophic
Two flagella-one steers,propeller
feed on bacteria in water
Ex: Euglena gracilis-freshwater,no harm to us, produces protein-rich flour, feeds on bacteria

Question 6

Alveolata

Answer 6

Alveoli
cytoplasmic sacs located under the cytoplasmic membrane
Osmotic balance
Armor

Question 7

Ciliates-Cal

Answer 7

possesses cilia-motility-swim like inchworms
two kinds of nuclei-micronuclei+marconuclei
help +harm
Ex: Paramecium-Cilia to obtain food+mobility,Oral groove-move material down to gullet
anal pore-poop
Phagotysis

Question 8

Dinoflagellates-dyed

Answer 8

Marine +freshwater
Phototrophic
two flagella of different length-one wrap around,one bottom
free-living +symbiotic
Ex: Gonyaulax-toxic and “red tides”,fish-killing,paralytic shellfish poisoning
Bioluminescent-feel vibrations,light up to attract second predator

Question 9

Apicomplexans-arota

Answer 9

Parasites
non-motile
Ex:Malaria-plasmodium,toxoplasmosis-toxoplasma,cocidiosis-eimeria

Question 10

Rhizaria

Answer 10

Threadlike cytoplasmic extrusions
Psudopodia
move+feed

Question 11

Chlorarachniophyta-cal

Answer 11

freshwater+marine
Flagellum
Cyanobacteria-chloroplasts with 2 membranes
Chlorarachniphytes-chloroplasts with 4 membranes

Question 12

Foraminifera-Fucked

Answer 12

Only ocean
shell-like structures called tests-solid,many shapes,live on bottom
tests=sink,not firmly attached,holes extend to eat
can’t swim
made of calcium carbonate

Question 13

Radiolaria-Riley

Answer 13

Planktonic eukaryotes
cosume bacteria+organic matter
Tests=more holes
mineral skeletons made of silica
needle-like pseudopodia keeps from sinking
swim araound

Question 14

Amoeboza

Answer 14

moist areas+aquatic
lobe-shaped pseudopodia for feeding movement

Question 15

Gymnamoebas-Gym

Answer 15

free-living
aquatic+soil
pseudopodia=move=amoeboid movement
phagocytosis-feed on bacteria,protists,organic matter

Question 16

Entameoebas-enter

Answer 16

Parasites
live in oral or intestinal tract
Ex: Entamoeba histolytica-amebic dysentery,bloody diarrhea

Question 17

Slime molds-Sam

Answer 17

grouped with fungi before-fruiting bodies, spores for dispersal
motile
live on decaying leaf litter, logs,soil
consume other microorganisms
vegetative-amoeboid
spore structures

Question 18

Plasmodial slime molds

Answer 18

vegative phase-single mass of protoplasm
diploid nuclei
amoeboid movement
spores are mobile
multicellular

Question 19

Cellular slime molds

Answer 19

individual haploid cells-no flagella
Aggregulation-straved condtions,no nutrients,lose individuality,don’t fuse
Asexual-spores are new amoeba
