kingdom protista |
"kingdom at the crossroads of evolution" Kingdom in which the simplest eukaryotes are classified. mostly unicellular Falls under Domain Eukarya |
|
subkingdoms of kingdom protista |
1.protozoa 2. algae 3. slime molds (fungi-like) |
|
subkingdom protozoa |
(motile, unicellular, heterotrophs) specialized structures of locomotion form the basis of phylum level classification |
|
phlylum level classification of protozoa |
1. sarcodina (pseudopodia) 2. mastigophora (flagella) 3. ciliophora (cilia) 4. apicoplexa (none) |
|
sarcodina |
(phylum of protozoa) PSEUDOPODIA characterized by finger-like projections created by the pushing of the cytoplasm in the desired direction |
|
mastigophora |
(phylum of protozoa) FLAGELLA whip-like structure for propulsion |
|
ciliophora |
(phylum of protozoa) CILIA fine, hair-like structures used to move forward.backward. can be used to turn protozoa on its axis |
|
apicomplexa |
(phylum of protozoa) NO STRUCTURES FOR MOVEMENT -has no structure/performs no movement, but still classified as protozoa due to it's significance [example: parasite] |
|
subkingdom algae |
nonmotile/ some are motile, unicellular/multicellular, photoautotrophs -photosynthetic pigments form the basis of division level classification
color expressed is dependent on the level of water at which the algae are found - deep waters don't receive certain wavelengths of light |
|
division level classification of subkingdom algae |
1. euglenophyta 2. chlorophyta 3. chrystophyta 4. phaephyta 5. rhodophyta |
|
super special division of subkingdom algae |
division cyanobacteria -special because they are prokaryotes and are the simplest photosynthetic organisms known to us |
|
euglenophyta |
(division of algae) autotrophic and heterotrophic -produce chlorophyl unicellular & has flagella primarily freshwater |
|
chlorophyta |
(division of algae) GREEN ALGAE unicellular and multicellular all have flagella
|
|
chrystophyta |
(division of algae) GOLDEN ALGAE -diatophs |
|
phaeophyta |
(division of algae) BROWN ALGAE macro algae - grows to tall heights (ie kelp) |
|
rhodophyta |
(division of algae) RED ALGAE (reflects red light/ absorbs blue light) commonly used in food |
|
Kingdom Fungi |
-belongs to Domain Eukarya -consists of multicellular mold and unicellular yeasts -are saprophytic heterotrophs -produce a large # and various types of spores |
|
define saprophytic heterotroph |
it means they feed by absorption |
|
multicellular mold |
(belongs to kindom fungi) mold colonies are made of filamental cells that can be identified individually: -hyphae cells -mycelium -sporangium |
|
hyphae cells |
(multicellular mold) help fungi grow; produces amylase to break food down prior to absorbing it |
|
mycelium |
(multicellular mold) cluster or colony of hyphae cells that makes mold look fuzzy |
|
sporangium |
(multicellular mold) collection of spores that is easily breakable so that spores can be released |
|
unicellular yeast |
(belongs to kingdom fungi) able to multiply rapidly (ie budding yeast cells) |
