Protists Flashcards
Eukaryotes SDTs
- nucleus
- membrane-bound organelles
- well-developed cytoskeleton: network of fibers within cell
endosymbiosis
relationship between 2 species in which one lives inside the other
serial endosymbiosis
series of multiple endosymbiotic events
primary endosymbiosis
phagocytosis of a prokaryote by a larger cell
- anaerobic Archaean engulfs an aerobic alpha protetobacterium (ALL EUKARYOTES, which have mitchondria)
- heterotrophic eukaryote engulfs an autotrophic cyanobacterium (photosynthetic EUKARYOTES, which have mitochondria and chloroplasts)
secondary endosymbiosis
phagocytosis of a eukaryote by a larger cell
-heterotrophic Eukaryote engulfs a smaller, photosynthetic eukaryotes, which have secondary plastids
protists
- mostly unicellular
- some colonial or multicellular
- complex cellular organization
mixotrophs
capable of photosynthesis and heterotrophy
where are golden and brown algae and diatoms found?
stramenophiles
where are dinoflagellates and ciliates found?
alveolates
what are the two main groups of rhizarians?
radiolarians and foraminiferans
Red Algae SDT
primarily multicellular, often highly branched
- absorb blue, green light
- penetrates deep into water
- many live very deep
- usually in warm, tropical water
what are the characteristics of many forms of green algae?
unicellular and colonial
SDT of Amoebozoans
- typical “blob” shape
- Lob- or tube-shaped pseudopodia (extension of cell surface)
