Paramecium
Term
How to identify Paramecium:
Definition
cilia all around it, an oral depression, semirigid pellicle (película), a large nucleus (macronucleus) and a small nucleus (micronucleus), and vacuola contráctil (look like stars)
Term
Paramecium, Voticella, and Stentor are of the phylum ___
Definition
Ciliophora
Term
*Amoeba y Entamoeba are ____
Definition
Rhizópodos (within Sarcodinos)
Term
*Foraminifera y Radiolaria son

Definition
Zoomastigina (but Trypanosoma is of the sub-phlyum Kinetoplastida and Trichomonas is of the sub-phylum Metamonada)
Term
Volvox is of the phylum___
Definition
Chlorophyta
Term
Which protist has an "eye" (called an Estigma) that detects light?
Definition
Euglena
Term
Which protist is a colony in the shape of a hollow sphere made up of thousands of individual cells with daughter colonies floating around on the inside that make it look polka-dotted.
Definition
Volvox
Term
How to distinguish Stentor from Vorticella:
Definition
1) Vorticella are much smaller
2) While they both have cilia around the mouth, only Stentor has cilia on the rest of its body (used for swimming)
4) Stentor has a macronucleus that looks like a string of beads
5) Vorticella's stalk is much thinner than the stalk of Stentor and it can coil up to bring the body closer to the substrate
Term
_____ son esporozoos
Definition
Apicomplejos
Term
what does the contractile vacuole do?
Definition
The concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than the concentration outside the cell so the environment is constantly pushing water into the cell via osmosis.... so the contractile vacuole prevents the cell from exploding by expelling water back out of the cell
Term
psuedopodia in foraminífera are used only for _____
Definition
feeding
Term
the shells of foraminífera are made of ____ and the shells of radiolaria are made of _____
Definition
Calcium; silica
Term

Definition
round, cyst-like (usually in slides with RBCs)
Term
toxoplasma looks like
Definition
sicle-shaped, fatter than trypanosoma, outside of RBCs
Term
trypanosoma looks like
Definition
in blood stream, but not inside the RBCs (i don't think), thin and ribbon-like with long flagella
Term
plasmodium looks like
Definition
little squiggles inside (or bursting out of) RBCs
Term
trichomonas looks like
Definition
acorn with flagella coming out of it
Term
Euglena looks like
Definition
similar shape as toxoplasma but green and granular
Term
paramecium looks like
Definition
also similar shape to euglena and toxoplasma but rounder and no flagellum... cilia all around it.
