Untitled Flashcards
Foraminifera
marine protists attached to rocks and algae
calcium-carbonate shells full of holes.
some of this protists obtain nutrients through photosynthesis performed by symbiotic algae
actinopoda
move by pseudopodia and are part of plankton.
heliozoans and radiozoans
apicomplexa
parasites formerly known as sporozoans.
spread from place to place in a form known as sporozite.
sexual and asexual stages.
need two hosts.
one example is plasmodium, cause of malaria.
zooflagellate
heterotropic protists known for their flagella.
eat by phagosytosis and some are parasitic while others a mutualistic,
an example is trypanosoma, African sleeping sickness.
ciliophora
cilia fore movement
water and 2 types of nuclei.
macronucleus
micronuclei conjugation
paramecium.
myxomycota
heterotrophic
plasmodial slime molds.
hate to eat alone.
they eat and grow as a single, clumped unicellular mass known as plasmodium. phagocytosis.
reproduce with spores
acrasiomycota
known as cellular slime molds.
when there is plenty of food, they are solitary.
when there is little food,m they clump together, working as a unit.
brown algae
phaeophyta
most are multicellular and live in marine enviornments
some are kelp and seaweed.
red algae
known as rhodophyta
get color from pigment called phycobilin.
muticellular and gametes are nonmotile.
many live in deep waters and absorb nonvisible light with accessory pigments.
dinoflagellata
protists known for having 2 flagella that rest perpendicular to each other.
most are unicellular.
aquatic foodchains.
golden algae
chrysophyta
flagella and can be found swimming among plankton.
diatoms
plankton
asexual fashion
although they do enter a sexual life cycle.
ornate walls of silica to protect them
