Term
Protists can move through three main mechanisms: ___ (used by amoeboids), ___ and ___.
Definition

psuedopodiums

 

cilia 

 

flagella

Term
Protists obtain food many ways. Heterotrophs can obtain food through absorption from the environment or ___ feeding (through pseudopodiums or filter feeding). Photosynthetic autotrophs use photosynthesis.
Definition
ingestive
Term
Chloroplasts are ___, meaning they evolved independently. It is thought that photosynthetic eukaryotes were absorbed by larger cells and an endosymbiosis was created. When the smaller cells transitioned from independence to being an organelle their ___ shrunk, some of their ___ were transferred to the host cell and the host cell made ___ needed by the organelle.
Definition

homoplasies

 

genomes

 

genes

 

proteins

 

Term
___ endosymbiosis of chloroplasts is seen in plants.
Definition
Primary
Term
Protists can reproduce ___ and ___. But then can also have sex without reproducing, like when ___ occurs in paramecium.
Definition

sexually

 

asexually

 

conjugation

Term
Many eukaryotes (like plants) undergo alternations of generations. The two generations are the gametophyte (haploid) and the sporophyte (diploid). ___ is when male and female gametes are NOT different, ___ is when they are. U lactuca have ___ haploids.
Definition

Isogamy

 

anisogamy

 

isogamic

Term
If something has isomorphic alternation of generations, it means that their alternating generations differ ___, but not ___.
Definition

genetically

 

morphologically

Term
The haplontic life cycle is when the organism spends most of its time in the ___ stage. This occurs because immediately after the fusion of the two parent nuclei (karyogamy) the cell divides ___ to produce haploids. An example of this is Ulothrix.
Definition

haploid

 

meiotically 

Term
Eukaryotes can be divided into five main groups: ___ (five groups).
Definition
