Term
animal- like protists
Definition
protozoans
Term
what they are not
Definition
animals, plants, fungus
Term
protozoans: phylum zoomastigina
Definition
1 or 2 flagella
live in lakes and streams
absorb nutrients from decaying matter
most asexually
Term
protozoans: phylum sarcodina
Definition
movement by pseudopods (false feet- cytoplasmic)
engulf food
mitosis
Term
protozoans: phylum ciliophora
Definition
movement by cilia
live in fresh and salt water
asexual reproduction
Term
protozoans: phylum sporozoa
Definition
do not move on their own
many are parasitic with different hosts
cause malaria
Term
plant- like protists
Definition
algae
Term
algae: feeding
Definition
autotrophic- have clorophyll
Term
algae: unicellular or multicellular?
Definition
can be both
Term
algae: phylum euglenophyta
Definition
live in ponds and lakes
movement by flagella
photosynthetic but can become heterotrophs
eyespots to move towards light
Term
algae: phylum chrysophyta
Definition
yellow- green and golden- brown
store food as oil
reproduce asexually and sexually
Term
algae: phytoplankton
Definition
2 groups: diatoms and dinoflagellates
they make 50% of all oxygen
Term
algae: phytoplankton: phylum Bacillariophyta (diatoms)
Definition
cell walls made up of silicon (which makes up glass)
movement by drifting with currents
Term
algae: phytoplankton: phylum pyrophyta (dinoflagellates)
Definition
most photosynthetic, some heterotrophic
movement by flagella
release light
Term
eutrophication
Definition
the process of algal blooms: sewage in water- nutrients that cause algae to spread- deplete water nutrients- the algae die- the decomposition of algae causes oxygen depletion in the water- kills fish
Term
red tide
Definition
caused by algal blooms of dinoflagellates in the ocean- contaminating shell fish- killing fish and humans
Term
plant- like protists (2)
Definition
red, brown, and green algae
Term
red algae (Rhodopyta)
Definition
live at great depths
lack flagella
provide nutrients to other organisms in coral reefs
Term
Brown Algae (Phaeophyta)
Definition
ex: giant kelp
have chlorophyll and brown pigment
Term
green algae (chlorophyta)
Definition
chlorophyll stores food as starch
live in fresh and salt water
can be unicellular- single, colonial, or multicellular
Term
fungus- like protists
Definition
cellular slime molds, acellular slime molds, water "molds"
Term
cellular slime molds
Definition
most of life as a free- living cell
asexual and sexual
Term
acellular slime molds
Definition
begin as single cells
cells fuse together
Term
water "molds"
Definition
seen in fuzz growing around a dead fish in the water
sexually and asexually
caused potato famine in ireland
