Eukaryote
internal membranes and thicker walls and possess an internal structure called a nucleus
endosymbionic theory
suggests that at a critical stage in the evolution of eukaryote cells, energy-producing bacteria cme to reside symbiotically withing larger early eukarytocic cells, eventually evolcing into the cell organelles we call mitochondria
mitochondria
energy-generating organelle in eukaryotic cells are sausage shaped and about the same size as most bacteria
choloplasts
bacteria like organelles that were apparently derived from symbiotic photosynthetic bacteria and have a complex system of inner membranes and a circle of DNA
sexual reproduction
two different parents contribnute gametes to form the offpsring
asexual reproduction
reproduction without forming gametes and the offspring are genetically identical to the parents, no mutation
parthenogenesis
a common form of reproduction among insects where fertilized eggs develop into females, while funertilized eggs are males in bees.
self-fertilization
one individual provides both male and female gametes
sexual life cycle
the production of haploid gametes by meiosis followed be the union of two gametes in sexual reproduction
zygotic meiosis
(algae) the zygote gormed by the fusion of gametes is the only diploid cell
gametic meiosis
(animals) meiosis produces the gametes which are the only haploid cells
sporic meiosis
(plants) the spore forming cells undergo meiosis
alternation of generations
a regular alternation between a hapliod and diploid phase
cysts
a dormant form of cell with a resistant outer coating covering in which cell metabolism is more or less completely shut down
phototrophs
photosynthetic autotrophs
phagotroph
or a holozoic feeder that ingest visible particles of food
osmotroph
saprozoic feeder that ingest food in soluble form
food vacuole
an intracelular vesicle that phagotrophs ingest food particles into (phagosome)
binary
a common type of fission which a cell simply splits into nearly equal halves
budding
when the progeny cell is considerably smaller than its parent and then grows to adult size (a type of fission)
schizogony
a multiple fission which is comon among protists and undergoes many nuclear divisions that produces several individuals almost simultaneously.
Protistic gametic meiosis
occurs just before gamete formation in ciliates and flagellates
protistic zygotic meiosis
directly after fertilization and all the individuals that are produced are haploid until the next zygote is formed in sprozoans
protistic sporic meiosis
in algae producing an alternation of generations similar to that seen in plants with dignificant portions of the life cycle spent as haploid as well as diploid.
multicellularity
a condition in which an organism is composed of many cells, permanently accosciatied with another that integrate their activities
colonial organism
a collection of cells that are permanently associated but in which little or no integratino of cell activities occurs
aggregation
a more transient collection of cells that come together for a period of time and then separate
multicellualr individuals
the activities of the individual cells are coordinated and the cells themselves are in contact, which only occurs in eukaryotes
multicellular organisms
individuals are composed of many cells that interact with one another and coordinate their activities
classyfying protista
1.)the presence or absence and type of cilia or flagella
2.) the presence and kinds of pigments
3.) the type of mitosis
4.) the molecular genetics of the ribosomal "S" subunit
6.) the kind of inclusions the protist may have
7.) the overall body form
8.) whether the protist has any kind of shell or other body "armor"
9.) modes of nutrition and movement.
five groups of protists
HEterotrophs with no permanent locomoter apparatus
Heterotrophs with flagella
heterotrophs with resticted mobility
photosynthetic protists
nonmotile spore formers
pseudopodia
false feet that are flowing projections of cytoplasm
tests
pore studded shells
podia
long thing cytoplasmic projections that extend out through pores of the tests and are used for swimming and capturing prey
flagella
a means that some zoomastigotes move by
cillia
cilliates are very complex and unusual and unicellular that have a defined cell shape and two nuclei per cell.
slugs
cellular slie molds that are able to aggregate in times of instress into mobile, multicellular colonies
spores
a swollen tip that develops a spore that becomes a new amoeba
plasmodium
a nonwalled multinucleate mass of cytolpasm
