Protists Remaining Flashcards
Slime molds
Individual single celled organism fuse together form a giant cell with thousands nuclei
plasmodium: ( slug form) move around eat bacteria fungi and decaying plant
Protist photorophs
photosynthetic dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae use sunlight to fix inorganic carbon.
Protist as producers
one-quarter of the world’s photosynthesis is conducted by protiss
Amoebozoans
have pseudopodia that extend like tubes or flat lobes,
Rhizaria
pseudopodia engulf food, help in movement by pushing cytoplasm into the pseudopodia, and attach to surfaces.
Foraminfiferns
Unicellular heterotrophic
Porous shells- called tests made of organic materials
Psedopodia tube like
Radiolarians
-have intricate silica-based skeletons
-use needle-like pseudopodia supported by microtubules to capture food.
Archaeplastida
red algae, green algae, and land plants. Land plants evolved from a common ancestor
Red algale
multicellular & lack flagella.
microscopic or large seaweeds.
Furthers to land plants
life cycle: alternation of generations
Green algale
Chlorophytes- closets relative
To land plants
Wet habitats
Chlamydomonas- two flagellum part of chlorphytes
Caulerpa- fern-like foliage, grows up to 3 meters as a single large cell due to nuclear division without cytokinesis.
Plant Parasites – P. viticola
Oomycete parasite that infects grape plants, causing downy mildew.
Nearly destroyed the French wine industry in the 19th century.
Chaonaflagellates
Animals share a common ancestor with resemble cells of sponges
Apicomplexans
group of protists that contain species that are human parasites
Flagellates
