Taxonomy Eukaryotes- part 2 Flashcards
Alveolates
presence of alveoli ( sacs of air underneath)
3 types of Alveolates
ciliates, dinoflagellates and apicomplexans
ciliates
process cilia at some stage in life
ex genera: paramecium
how many nuclei do ciliates have
2- macro and micro
how do paramecia mate
exchange micronucleus
dinoflagellates are _____ organisms
freshwater phototrophic (symbiotic relationship with coral)
how may flagella do dinoflagellates have?
2 - transverse and longitudinal
in warm and polluted waters dinoflaggelates secrete??
neurotoxins
dense populations of dinoflagellates lead to
red tides
apicomplexans are _______
obligate parasites of animals can cause malaria
what are apicoplasts
degenerated chloroplasts that lack pigments and phototrophic capacity but still carry anabolic pathways
Stramenopiles have flagella with _______.
may short hairlike extensions
stramenopiles are _____ and _____ members
chemoheterotrophic and phototrophic
examples of stramenopiles
oomycetes, diatoms, golden algae and brown algae
Oomycetes are ______/
chemoheterotrophs ( chemical energy from organic sources)
also called water molds, cell walls are made of cellulose
Golden algae are_____
phototrophs , unicellular
chloroplast pigment is dominated by the carotenoid fucoxanthin
Oomycetes have what kind of hyphae?
coenocytic ( which means cytoplasm and nuclei are not subdivided into cells)
what is coenocytic
not seperated
what is septate
nuclei are separated by cross wall
are diatoms unicellular or multi?
unicellular
