Kingdom Spirochetes
|
|
|
|
Causes many diseases such as: tuberculosis, leprosy, anthrax, botulism, and "walking pneumonia". Also responsible for the "earthy" odor of rich soil, many antibiotics, and contains the only bacteria known to lack a cell wall.
|
Kingdom Gram + Bacteria
|
|
|
|
This group is photosynthetic, utilizing photosystems I & II and contain chlorophyll a.

|
|
|
Name the 5 SuperGroups in the Domain Eukarya
|
a. SuperGroup Excavata
b. SuperGroup Chromalveolata c. SuperGroup Rhizaria d. SuperGroup Archaeplastida e. SuperGroup Unikonta |
|
|
|
This group belongs in the SuperGroup Excavata. It's organisms lack plastids. Includes Giardia lamblia, the causative agent for "beaver fever"
|
Kingdom Diplomonadida
|
|
|
|
This group belongs in the SuperGroup Excavata. It includes Trichomonas vaginalis, a usual inhabitant of the vagina; overpopulation of these causes infection which can be spread to the partner
|
Kingdom Parabasala
|
|
|
|
This group belongs in the SuperGroup Excavata. This one consists of two groups, the euglenoids and the kinetoplastids.
|
Kingdom Euglenozoa
|
|
|
|
This group belongs to the Kingdom Euglenozoa. It includes Euglena. Its photosynthetic pigments includes: carotenoids, chlorophylls a & b, and xanthophyll
|
Phylum Euglenophyta
|
|
|
|
This group belongs to the Kingdom Euglenozoa. Its kinetoplastid structure houses extra-nuclear DNA. It also causes Chagas' disease, which is transmitted via bloodsucking insects
|
Phylum Kinetoplastida
|
|
|
|
This group belongs to the SuperGroup Chromalveolata. Includes three groups: dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, and ciliophorans
|
Kingdom Alveolata
|
|
|
|
This group belongs to the Kingdom Alveolata. Carbohydrate storage = starch. Causes "red tides"
|
Phylum Dinoflagellata
|
|
|
|
This group belongs to the Kingdom Alveolata. They are host specific. Causes malaria.
|
Phylum Apicomplexa
|
|
|
|
This group belongs to the Kingdom Alveolata. Includes Paramecium.
|
Phylum Ciliophora
|
|
|
|
Included in the SuperGroup Chromalveolata. This group contains both heterotrophs and autotrophs. Named for the fine, hair-like projections on the flagella.
|
Kingdom Stramenopila
|
|
|
|
Included in the Kingdom Stramenopila. Commonly called diatoms. Most store food as laminarin; others as oil.
|
Phylum Bacillariophyta
|
|
|
|
Included in the Kingdom Stramenopila. Commonly called the golden algae.
|
Phylum Chrysophyta
|
|
|
|
Included in the Kingdom Stramenopila. Commonly called brown algae. Common seaweeds; cell wall of cellulose; produces alginic acid
|
Phylum Phaeophyta
|
|
|
|
Included in the Kingdom Stramenopila. Commonly called water molds. Cell wall comprised of cellulose. Flagellated (unlike fungi)

|
|
|
|
Included in the SuperGroup Rhizaria. Have thread-like pseudopodia
|
Kingdom Cercozoa
|
|
|
|
Included in the Kingdom Cercozoa. Named for their porous shells which contains calcium carbonate. Formed White Cliffs of Dover, limestone, and flint.
