Synapomorphies for MIDTERM 1 Flashcards
SPIROCHETES
axial filaments (modifies flagella) used in corkscrew - like motion DISEASES: T. pallidum/Syphilis and Borellia/Lyme disease
CHLAMYDIAE
endosymbionts, they live in the cells of the host (parasitic)
DISEASES: Chlamydia trachomatis/Chlamydia
CYANOBACTERIA
BLUE - GREEN ALGAE
converts nitrogen into ammonia and heterocyst
PROTEOBACTERIA
origin of mitochondria
DISEASES: E.coli, salmonella, vibrio
EUKARYA
a true nucleus
BACTERIA
peptiodoglycan in cell walls
ARCHAEA
extremophiles
AMOEBOZA
mostly unicellular, plasmodia slime molds form a large web (slime molds), uses pseudopodia
OPISTHOKONTA
if flagellum is present it is single and posterior
FUNGI
absorptive heterotrophy, chitin in cell walls, mycellium is made of hyphae
BASIDIOMYCOTA
mushrooms, sac, club fungi
ASCOMYCOTA
lichen made up of fungi and photosynthetic organism
EXCAVATA
loss of mitochondria, unicellular
RHIZARIA
calcium carbonate shells
ALVEOLATA
alveoli (small sacs)
CILIATES
cillia (little hairs)
APICOMPLEXA
has plasodium vivax which causes malaria
STRAMENOPILA
hairy flagellum
DIATOMS
made of up silica, single celled, contain chlorophyll
BROWN ALGAE
multicellular
like seaweed and kelp
PLANTAE
**
RED ALGAE
high levels of phycoerythin
GREEN ALGAE
multicellular, chloroplasts containing chlorophyll a and b and beta - carotene
LAND PLANTS
thick walled spore, complex gametangia, embryo retention, and alternantion of generations
HEPATICOPHYTA
LIVERWORTS
cuticles, gemmae
BRYOPHYTA
MOSSES
stomata - gas exchanges
SEEDLESS VASCULAR PLANTS
includes FERNS, CLUB MOSSES, and HORSETIALS
vascular tissue, xylem (up), phloem (down + up)
SEED VASCULAR PLANTS
includes GYMNOSPERMS and ANGIOSPERMS
seeds, pollen, heterospory
ANGIOSPERMS
flowers, fruit and vessel elements
Gymnosperms
pines, conifers, red wood trees and ginkgo
naked seeds
Monocots
angiosperms
parallel veins in leaves and one cotyledon
Dicots
angiosperms
branching veins in leaves and two cotyledons
