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.
