Term
Kingdom Protista consists of
Definition
Protozoa (heterotrophic) and slime molds (one phylum one genus) and algae (photosynthetic autotrophic)
Term
Phylum Rhizopoda consists of
Definition
Ameobas
Term
Amoebas move through
Definition
pseudopods (fake feet extensions). They do not swim, they crawl
Term
Phylum Foraminifera consists of
Definition
forearms (kinda looks like a snail)
Term
Phylum Kinetoplastea consists of
Definition
Flagellates
Term
Flagellates are
Definition
Parasitic, The most common genus is trypanosoma, they are disease causers, undulating membrane. Looks like a dorsal fin on fish
Term
Phylum Ciliphora consists of
Definition
ciliates
Term
Ciliates are known for
Definition
having up to a dozen nuclei, but they are usually divided into one big one or a macronucleus and then they have a micronucleus
Term
Ciliates reproduce by
Definition
they have a sexual process, but they do not reproduce through the sexual process (conjugation). Instead after conjugation, they go through an asexual process and reproduce (binary fission)
Term
Phylum Apicomplexa consist of
Definition
Genus plasmodium, caused malaria
Term
What makes up a protist?
Definition
Anything that doesn't fit somewhere else
microscopic, unicellular, eukaryotic
Term
Phylum Chlorophyta
Definition
green algea
Term
what makes green algea?
Definition
cholorphyll a and b, starch is the storage product, cell wall of cellulose
Term
Chlamydomonas looks like
Definition
it looks like little green balls, its supposed to have two tails
Term
Spirogyra is
Definition
unbranched filamentous, spiral chloroplasts
Term
Spirogyra does
Definition
conjugation. Sexual process, exchange of genetic material
Term
Branched filamentous green algae
Definition
cladophora. Cells are stacked on top of each other while branching. Looks like bamboo
Term
Colonial Green Algae
Definition
Volvox, circles with more circles
Term
Phylum Pheophyta
Definition
brown algae
Term
type of brown algea
Definition
Fucus (not microscopic or unicellular). Many are large organisms
Term
Pigment in brown algae
Definition
Fucozanthin
Term
Phylum Rhodophyta
Definition
Red Algae
Term
Types of Red algae
Definition
sea weed. Kerigean
Term
Phylum Bacillariophyta
Definition
diatoms
Term
Diatoms are
Definition
pretty glass strucutres made with silicon dioxide
Term
Phylum Dinozoa
Definition
Dinoflagellates. They have plates (looks like an armored car) and perpendicular
Term
examples of dinoflagellates
Definition
ceratium and peridinium
Term
Phylum Euglenida
Definition
Cell wall made of proteins, flexible. Can switch between autotrophic and heterotrophic
Term
Phylum Rhizopoda
Definition
Amoebas, have psedopods (fake feet)
Term
Foraminifera
Definition
shelled amoebas. Secrets cells, made of calcium carbonate. LOOKS LIKE SHELLS
Term
Kinetoplastea
Definition
flagellates. Parasitic. Tripanisomes
Term
Tripanisomes
Definition
exist outside of the blood cells, undulating membrane. at least one flagella. African sleeping sickness and chagas disease
Term
Ciliophora
Definition
cilliates. Have cilia. Movile cell with cilia covering whole body. Micro and Macro nucleus, transverse fission. Have a hard stalk
Term
transverse fission
Definition
cell pinches itself and it becomes two celles. Asexual reproduction
Term
Plasmodium
Definition
effects the blood int he red blood cells. Malaria.
Term
Slime Molds
Definition
pulsate slowly, the structure is called the plasmodium NOT THE GENUS. Eat through phagocytosis
Term
What is a fungus?
Definition
Eukaryotic, Multicellular, absorptive feeding heterotroph
Term
How do fungus reproduce?
Definition
gametes are produced by mitosis and cell differentiation. Meiosis produces spore producing structures. When opposing strands come together on a fungus, the cytoplasms fuse to make a dikaryotic stage. Then you have karyogamy.
Term
Chytridiomycota reproductive featrues
Definition
motile spores with flagella and motile gametes
Term
Chytridiomycota reproductive featrues
Definition
motile spores with flagella and motile gametes
Term
zygomycota reproductive features
Definition
resistant zygosporangium as sexual stage
Term
ascomycota reproductive systems
Definition
sexual spores borne internally in sacs called asci. Looks like hairy tubular things
Term
Basidiomycota reproductive features
Definition
sexual spores borne externally on club shaped structures called basidia
Term
Different phylums of fungi
Definition
Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and basidiomycota
Term
Phylum Zygomycota life cycle
Definition
traditional fungi life cycle. After fertilization forms zygospores/zygosporangium (the wings thing)
Term
Phylum Ascomycota life cycle
Definition
after plasmogamy occurs, the dikaryotic hyphae grow into an asocarp or cup
Term
Phylum Basidiomycota
Definition
same lifecycle except with a mushroom and gills. Dikaryotic mycelium is called the secondary mycelium
Term
Lichen
Definition
mutualism between an algae or a cyanobacteria and fungi
Term
Cholorphyta
