Define protists

diverse, unicellular eukaryotes

used to be Kingdom

Protista

protists

convenient term for eukaryotes that are neither plants, animals, or fungi

Mode for nutrition

Lezgo

autotrophs

algae (Caulerpa)

heterotrophs

protozoans

parasites

from living host (Giardia)

mixotrophs

both photosynthethic and heterotrophy, depend on availability of light and nutrients (Euglena)

Habitat

aquatic, moisture, inhabit bodies of other organisms

protists are more complex than

prokaryotes

Why?

Have organelles and flagella

Simplest eukaryotes. Why

unicellular

monophyletic means

from common ancestor

What are four monophyletic supergroups?

SAR, Excavata, Unikonta, Archaeplastida

SAR

Stramenopila, Alveolata, Rhizaria

Unikonta

Amoebozoans

Amoebozoans related to

Fungi and animals

Archaeplastida

Red algae and green algae

Related to green algae

land plants

stramenopila are closer to

Alveolata

Stramenopila

diatoms, brown algae, and water molds

autotrophic stramenopila

brown algae and diatoms

water molds are initially thought to be

fungi

glassy cell wall made of

silica

food vacuoles makes them

bouyant

Alveolata

dinoflagellates, ciliates, parasites

Dinoflagellates are

autotrophic and causes red tides

Examples of ciliates

Paramecium (move to obtain food)

Example of parasite

Plasmodium which causes malaria

Rhizaria

Amoebas (foraminiferans, radiolarians)

they move and feed through

pseudopodia

Groups that are autotrophic

Stramenopila (brown algae and diatoms)


Alveolata (dinoflagellates)

Algae renewable energy, how?

convert sunlight to energy in form of natural oils which are similar to biofuels

Excavata have excavated

feeding groove

They also have

modified mitochondria

Which lacks functional

ETC (incomplete cellular respiration, only glycolysis)

heterotroph found in termites gut

Trichonympha

Mixotroph

Euglena

Parasites which causes diarrhea

giardi aintestinal

More examples

Trichomonas vaginalis (women more affected) and trypanosoma

Unikonta

amoebozoans, plants and fungi

Examples

Amoebas, parasites, slime molds

Shape of pseudopodia

tube or loped shaped

Difference

finger like and loped shaped

Difference

multinucleated one organism vs many organisms come together

Archaeplastida

Red and green algae

Characteristics are

Autotrophic

Coem from

Cyanobacteria

Land plants from

Green algae

Found in products

Carrageenan

Red algae most are

Soft bodied but some have hard, chalky deposits

Green algae have

Unicellular, multicellular, and colonials

Unicellular examples

Chlamydomonas

Colonials

Volvox

oldest chucho


Choanoflagellates
