SPO3: Protists and Fungi Flashcards
1
Q
Clade
A
A group/species that descended from one ancestral species representing one phylogenetic group.
All species in the same clade share the same common ancestor.
2
Q
Primary production
A
The total amount of sugar produced by all living organisms on the planet.
3
Q
Autotroph
A
Makes own food.
4
Q
Heterotroph
A
Depends on outside energy souces (other than sunlight).
5
Q
Mixotroph
A
Heterotrophic and autotrophic capabilities.
6
Q

8
Q
A
- Euglena

- Long flagellum, short flagellum, eyespot, contractile vacuole, nucleus, chloroplast, plasma membrane, pellicle
9
Q
Clade Alveolates
A
- Grouped based on presence of ALVIOLI, sac-like structures packed into a continuous layer just inside the cell membrane.
- Autotroph or heterotroph.
