Unit 6: Protists Flashcards
Which protist is this?
Oedogonium
Plant-like
Chlorophyta
What type of protist undergoes reproduction with gametes?
Chlamydomonas
(unicellular)
Which protist is this?
Difflugia
Animal-like
Sarcodina
Which protist is this?
Spirostomum
Animal-like
Ciliophora
During conjugation, what combines to form a new macronucleus in a recently conjugated paramecium?
2 micronuclei
(1 was its original and 1 is from the other protist)
What is the cellularity of most protists?
unicellular
During alternation of generations, what does the diploid sporophyte generation create during periods of environmental stress?
spores
(by meiosis therefore spores are haploid)
During alternation of generations, which generation is diploid?
sporophyte generation
What type of nucleus is exchanged during conjugation?
micronucleus
Which protist is this?
Volvox
Plant-like
Chlorophyta
Which protist is this?
Paramecium
Animal-like
Ciliophora
Which protist is this?
Euplotes
Animal-like
Ciliophora
During the sexual phase of reproduction with gametes, the mature protist produces ______ instead of zoospores
+ and - gametes
During reproduction with gametes and the asexual phase, what is formed during two consecutive rounds of mitosis?
4 zoospores
Which protists are unique in that they have shells made of silica?
Diatoms
Bacillariophyta
Which protists use pseudopodia?
Sarcodines
Which protist is this?
Actinosphaerium
Animal-like
Sarcodina
What type of sexual reproductive process involves the exchanging of DNA?
conjugation
Which protist is this?
Spirogyra
Plant-like
Chlorophyta
During alternation of generations, what do the haploid spores create during periods of environmental stress?
male and female gametophytes
(haploid spores divide by mitosis into haploid gametophytes)
