protists |
are the simplest. most diverse of the Eukaryotes. most are single-celled with some exist as colonies of cells or as multicellular. Has membrane organelles. Produce sexually and asexually. |
|
Characteristics of protist |
Kelp, brown alga, is multicellular volvox, green algia, is colonial Spirogyra,green alga, is filamentous. |
|
photoautotrophic |
protists that Synthesize organic compounds via photosynthesis. |
|
Protozoans |
Are a group of heterotrophic protists that obtain organic compounds from the environment. some Protozoans such as eugela , are mixotrophic |
|
Mixotrophic |
they are able to combine autotrophic or heterotrophic nutritional modes. |
|
asexual reproduction(protists) |
by mitosis is the norm in protists. |
|
sexual reproduction(protists) |
generally occurs when environmental conditions are unfavorable. protists can form spores or cysts |
|
Supergroup |
High level taxonomic will be below domain and above Kingdom. each supergroup represents a separate evolutionary lineage. |
|
Plankton |
organisms suspended in the water to serve as food for Heterothrophic protists and animals. |
|
Archaeplastida |
super group of green and red algae also includes land plants that have plastic |
|
Chromalveolata |
super group of brown and golden brown algae water molds and the alveolates must have plastids |
|
Excavata |
Suoergroup of Zooflagellates, often with distinctive oral grooves |
|
Super group amoebozoa |
protozoans that move via pseudopods. |
|
Supergroup Opisthokonta |
single celled and multi cellular proteins including choanoflagellates also includes animals and fungi |
|
Supergroup rhizara |
Foraminiferans and radiolarians |
|
Endosymbiosis |
the endosymbiotic theory proposed the eukaryotic cells acquired mitochondria and plastids including chloroplasts by engulfing a free living bacteria that developed a symbiotic relationship within the host cell. |
|
mitochondria |
were deprived first from the endosymbiosis of an aerobic bacterium |
|
Chloroplasts |
where deprived later from the endosymbiosis of a cyanobacterium. |
|
Archaeplastids |
Land plants and other photosynthetic organisms, such as green and red algae, that have plastics derived from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria |
|
green algae |
protists that contain both chlorophyll |
|
Charophytes |
thoughts of the green algea group most closely related to land plants |
|
Chlorophytes |
Chlamydomonas is a tiny photoautotrophic chlorophyte that inhabits still first water pools |
|
Pyreniod |
A dense body where starch is synthesized |
|
Haploid cells |
called vegetative cells have too long, whiplike flagella protecting from the end that operate with a breaststroke like motion. |
|
zoospores |
a haploid flagellated spores that grow to become adult vegetative cells. Completing the life cycle. |
|
Colony |
a loose association of independent cells. E.g., Volvox is colonial green algae |
|
Ulva |
multicellular chlorophyte, it's called sea lettuce |
|
Spirogyra |
unbranched chlorophyte in which each cell has a ribbon like chloroplast. |
|
Charophytes |
Filamentous algae |
|
Filaments |
End to end chains of cells. |
|
Conjugation |
A temporary union during which the cells exchange genetic materials. |
|
Red algae |
multicellular seaweeds that Possess is red and blue accessory pigments, which transfer energy from absorb light to the photopigment chlorophyll during photosynthesis |
|
include brown algae , diatoms golden brown algae and water molds |
Stramenopiles |
|
Brown algae |
Have chlorophylls a and c in thier chloroplasts. E.g.,Laminaria and fucus are seaweeds known as kelps. They live along rocky coasts of the north temperate zone. |
|
Diatoms |
tiny single celled Stramenopile with an ornate silica shell. |
|
Golden brown algae |
Derive their distinctive color from yellow brown carotenoid accessory pigments |
|
Water molds |
Fungus like protists, often seen as furry growths on their food source. Saprotrophic and live off dead organic matter |
|
Alveolates |
have alveoli( small air sacs) fine just beneath their plasma membranes that are thought to lens support to the cell surface or a in membrane transport. |
|
Dinoflagellates |
Single-celled, photoautotrophic algae encased by protective cellulose and silicate plates. |
|
Ciliates |
Single cell protist that move by means of cilia. Ichthyophthirius is an ectoparasitic protozoan that causes a common disease in dishes called "ick". during asexual reproduction divide by transverse binary fission. two types of nucleus macronucleus controls metabolism micronucleus participate in reproduction. |
|
Trichocysts |
Oval capsules that lies beneath the pellicle |
|
Apicoplexans |
Also known as sporozoans. which have unique organelle called an apicoplast,which is used to penetrate a host. Plasmodium, responsible for malaria. |
