Cards

Term

1. What are algaes?

 

2. What is their main function?

Definition

1. Aquatic autotrophs that don't need to protect the zygote from drying out.

Group by their color & biochemical differences - chemistry of the cell wall and the way they store food-.

 

2. Produce food for oceanic and fresh water communities.

Term

 

 What are the characteristics of Chlorophyta?

 

What are the changes that occurs in this algae?

 

 

Definition

 

Green algae, have a cell wall of cellulose, have both chlorophyll a and b.

 

When conditions are favorable, asexual reproduction occurs, otherwise sexual reproduction occurs.

Term

Definition

 

 

 

Kingdom -> Eukarya

 

Domain -> Protist

Alteration of Generation


- the organism passes through both haploid and diploid stages.

Such as the fern

Diplontic Cell Cycle


- The organism is diploid and the gametes are th only haploid stages.

Such as the elephant

Amoeba

- Phylum - Rhizopoda

Term

What are Protozoans?

 

What are their characteristics?

Definition

Typically heterotrophic, motic, unicellular organisms. clasified according to their locomotion.

 

They have:

-food vacuoles

-contractile vacoules

-some reproduce sexually

-haplontic life cycle

 

 

Term

 

 

-Phylum-

-Rhizopoda-

 

Definition

 

Amoeboids - moves by pseudopods and eat by phagocytosis.

Amoeba Proteus - lives in fresh water.

Entamoeba histolytica - causes amoebic dysentery

 

Term

 

 

-Phyla-

-Ciliophora-

Definition

Ciliates - move by cilia

Cilia of Paramecium - extend through a semi-rigid pellicle.

Two types of nuclei:

- macronuclei- controls cell metabolism.

- micronuclei - are exchanged during sexual reproduction.
