Unicellular Labs Flashcards
Euglena Deses
-Phylum: Eugleonza
-Class: Euglenoidea
-Autotrophic and Heterotrophic
-red pigment, stigma detects light
-two flagella: sensory & swimming
-outer casting called pellicle
Trypanosoma Cruzi & Brucei
-Phylum: Eugleonza
-Class: Trypanosomatidea
-endoparasites & blood parasites
-cruzi: transmitted through the kissing bug stores in the intestines that causes a disease called chagas
-brucei: transmitted through tsetese fly by the salvary glands. causes sleeping sickness
Leishmania
-Phylum: Eugleonza
-Class: Trypanosomatidea
-transmitted by the sandsfly through the salvary glands
-causes subcutaneous skin eating disease, leishmaniasis
Paramecium
-Phylum: Ciliophora
-two nuclei: micronucelus & macronucelus
-binary fission, model organism, common food source
Balantindium coli
-Phylum: Ciliophora
-intestinal (colons) mostly in pigs (asymptomatic)
-unicellular
-causes explosive diarrhea in humans (ciliated form)
Spirostomum
-Phylum: Ciliophora
-large protozoan
-high contractile
-nucleus a string of beads
-covered with rows of cilia
Ephelota
-Phylum: Ciliophora
-symbiotic with Obelia
Trichomonas Vaginalis
-Phylum: parabasala
-causes trichomoniasis, an STD that is most common protozoan infection in industrialized nations
-vaginitis in women, asymptomatic in male
Plasmodium Falciparum/Virax
-phylum: apicomplexa
-transmitted by mosquitoes that have malaria
Phylum Foraminifera
test made of calcium carbonate from environment, ocean sediment on the mud of the oceans. shells they make depend on temperature, acidity, and calcium
Phylum Radiolaria
test made out of silica
symmetrical (spherical & glass)
recticulopds that stick out of the holes of to form a net to make food
Amoeba proteus
Phylum: amoeboza
predator, catches prey with pseudopods
naked amoeba
marine and freshwater
eats through phagocytosis
slow moving
difflugia
Phylum: amoeboza
freshwater
predatory shelled amoeba
makes their shell out of things of the environment
lobopods (shelled feet) to swim and eat
kept with algae
Entamoeba Histolytica
Phylum: amoeboza
parasite
causes amoebic dynstery, infection by drinking cysts in contained water
Arcella
Phylum: Amoeboza
freshwater, shelled amoeba
testate out of silica
