Mutualism

Ecological relationship where in both partners benefit from the interaction

Commensalism

Ecological relationship where in one partner benefits but there is no effect on the other

Parasitism

Ecological relationship where in one partner benefits at the expense of the other

Autotrophic

This types of organisms can synthesize their own organic constituents from inorganic substances

Heterotrophic

These types of organisms must obtain organic molecules synthesized by other organisms in order to survive

Phagocytosis

"Cell eating"


Infolding or invagination of the plasma membrane to surround a visible food particle

Pinocytosis

"Cell drinking"

Holozoic feeders

A.k.a. phagotrophs


Heterotrophs that feed on visible particles

Saprozoic feeders

A k a osmotrops


Organisms that ingest soluble food

Phototrophs

Autotrophic organisms that use light energy to synthesize their organic molecules, but often practice phagotrophy and osmo trophy as well

Flagella

A single whip-like structure in unicellular organisms used for locomotion

Cilia

Short whip-like structures that covers the whole organism that is used for locomotion

Pseudopods

Used for locomotion in amoebas

Lobopodia


Filipodia


Rhizopodia


Reticulopodia


Axopodia

5 types of pseudopod shapes in Amebas

Lobopodia

-Blunt tipped ameba pseudopods


-Containing both endoplasm and ectoplasm

Filopodia

-Thin sharply pointed pseudopods in amebas


- containing only ectoplasm

Reticulopodia

-Pseudopods that are branched filaments that merge to form a net like structure

Rhizopodia

Pseudopods that are branched filaments

Axopodia

Pseudopods that are thin, pointed and contains an axoneme

Axoneme

Central longitudinal (axial) filament of microtubules in Axopodia (ciliates and flagellates)

Testate

Amebas that make shells

Naked amebas

Amebas without shells are called ____ ___

False

True or false:


Unicellular eukaryotes have germ layers

True

True or false:


Some unicellular eukaryotes are provided with simple endoskeleton or exoskeleton, but most are naked

False


Syngamy and conjugation are actually examples for sexual reproduction

True or false:


Conjugation and syngamy are examples of asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms

Kinetosome

AKA basal body


-9 triplets of microtubules in ciliates and flagellates


- identical in structure to centrioles

Sliding-microtubule hypothesis

The current explanation used for ciliary and flagellar movement

Radial spokes

multi-unit protein structure found in the axonemes of eukaryotic cilia and flagella

Dynein arm

molecular complex that drives the beating motion of cilia/flagella

A= Radial Spoke


B= Dynien Arm

What is A in the diagram? What is B?

Pseudopodia

Extensions of the cell cytoplasm used in locomotion and feeding

Ectoplasm

Appears more transparent (hyaline) by light microscopy, and it bears the bases of the cilia and the flagella


-Rigid, peripheral area of cytoplasm

Endoplasm

Appears more granular and contains the nucleus and the cytoplasmic organelles


-Fluid (sol state), central area of cytoplasm

Hyaline cap

An extension of the ectoplasm when lopodium begins to form

Nucleus

-Membrane-bound structure whose interior communicates with the cytoplasm by small pores


- DNA is found here

Nucleoli

a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell present during interphase, especially in the active transcription of ribosomal RNA

Macronucleus


Micronucleus

Two kinds of nuclei that ciliates have

Micronucleus

Germ line nucleus in ciliates

Macronucleus

Somatic nucleus in ciliates

Mitochondria

An organelle used in recovering energy from carbon bonds of fuel molecules where oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor

Hydrogenosomes

In cells without mitochondria, _____ may be present

Hydrogenosomes

Organelles that perform a respiratory function in absence of oxygen and are assumed to have evolved from mitochondria

Kinetoplasts

______ also assumed to be mitochondrial derivatives

Golgi complex

Part of the endomembrane system that participates in cellular secretory processes and intracellular digestion of ingested food vacuoles
