taxonomy of eukaryotes Flashcards
What kind of sequencing is used to infer the phylogeny of eukaryotes
sequencing of 18s rRNA
wat are mitosomes
degenerated mitochondria they do not have enzymes of the TCA cycle and lack the respiratory chain
who has mitosomes
diplomonads
what is a parabasal body
a structure to support the golgi
what are hydrogenosomes
used for anaerobic metabolism
where do parabasalids live
urogenetial tract and intestinal tracts
methanogens
H2 consuming, endosymbiotic archea
kinetoplast
mass of circular DNA present in mitochondria
alveoli
sacs underneath the cytoplasmic membrane
what do alveoli go
may function to help cells maintain osmotic balance
In paramecium are contractile vacuole
how many nuclei do ciliates have
2
how many nuclei do diplonads have
2
what significant event occurs in sexual reproduction in ciliates
exchange of nuclei
what are red tides
dense populations of dinoflagellates
apicoplasts
they are degenrate chloroplasts that dont have phototrophic capable pigemnents
