excellent students ate unicorns

photoautotrophs

Photosynthesize with chloroplasts

algae

heterotrophs

ingest or absorb food

ciliates, amoebas

Endosymbiosis

relationship between two species; one organism lives inside the cell(s) of another organism

Mitochondria and plastids

which evolved first, mitochondria or plastids?

mitochondria

secondary endosymbiosis

they were ingested by a heterotrophic eukaryote; the engulfed cell contains a vestigial nucleus called a nucleomorph

evolution of red and green algae

Characterized by cytoskeleton



also have "excavated" feeding groove

spiral or crystalline rod


(distinguishing feature)

Kinetoplastids

Kinetoplast- DNA in mitochondrion


ex: Trypanosoma (causes sleeping sickness)


ex: Chagas' disease

Euglenozoa clade:



Euglenids

Flagella: 1 or 2 that emerge from a pocket at one end of the cell

Some are mixotrophs

Supergroup:



SAR

3 major clades:



Stramenopiles


Alveolates


Rhizarians

most controversial group

SAR clade:



Stramenopiles

Include:



diatoms


golden algae


brown algae

Flagella: 1 "hairy", 1 "smooth"


(most)

SAR:


Stramenopile:



"Diatoms"

Silicon Dioxide glass-like wall


They die and fall to the ocean floor, taking carbon dioxide with them.


Diaomaceous earth: fossilized diatoms

Bacillariophyta

SAR:


Stramenopile:



"Golden Algae"

named for their "golden" color

Chrysophyta

SAR:


Stramenopile:



"Brown Algae"

"seaweeds"



blades leaves at the top


stipe stem or trunk


holdfast root-like structure

Phaeophyta

SAR Clade:



Alveolates

Includes:



Dinoflagellates (Pyrrophyta)


Apicomplexans


Ciliates

Alveoli


(Defining characteristic)

SAR:


Alveolates:


"Dinoflagellates"

2 flagella + cellulose plates



aquatic, diverse (photo-, hetero-, and mixotrophs)


cause "red tide"

Pyrrophyta


(Real name)

SAR:


Alveolates:


Apicomplexans

Parasites

ex: Malaria


-Diploid cycle (mosquito)


-Haploid cycle (human)

SAR:


Alveolates:


Ciliates

2 (or more) Nuclei


-Macro and Micro

named for their cilia

SAR Clade:


Rhizaria

Includes:



Radiolarians (Actinopoda)


Forams


Cercozoans

Thread-like pseudopodia


(defining characteristic)

SAR:


Rhizaria:


"Radiolarians"

Pseudopodia come from center


(use it to engulf microorganisms)

Actinopoda

SAR:


Rhizaria:


Forams

named for porous tests (shells)

climate change data

SAR:


Rhizaria:


Cercozoans

chromatophore


(photosynthetic structure)

includes most amoeboid and flagellated protists with threadlike pseudopodia

Supergroup:



Archaeplastida

Includes:



Red algae (rhodophyta)


Green algae


Land plants

Plastids created by endosymbiotic relationship

Archaeplastida:



"Red algae"

Phycoerythrin (creates red color)

Protists

-Symbiotic protists



-Photosynthetic protists (Producers)

2 main roles

Symbiotic Protists

Symbionts benefit their hosts



Others are Parasitic

Symbiont ex: Dinoflagellates nourish coral polyps Wood-digesting protists digest cellulose in the gut of termites


Parasite ex: Plasmodium - malaria


Photosynthetic Protists

Producers obtain energy from the sun


they have declined as sea surface temperature has increased

if this continues it can effect:


-Marine ecosystems


-Fishery yields


-Global carbon cycle
