Term
Protista-type of cell structure
Definition
Most are unicellular Eukaryotes
Term
Habitat of protista
Definition
most are aquatic organisms but can be found almost anywhere
Term
Motility of protist
Definition
Most are motile with flagella or cilia
Term
Life cycles-protist
Definition
mitosis occurs in almost all protist but there are variations. reproduce both asexually ad sexually through meiosis.
Term
metabolism and nutrition type- protist
Definition
most are aerobic(need oxygen) using mitochondria for cellular respiration. are autotroph, heterotroph, mixotroph.
Term
Colonial arrangment
Definition
Many unicellular organisms that are living together
Term
multicelled arrangement
Definition
many cells that make up an organism
Term
Archaezoa
Definition
-lack mitochondria
-types- Giardia
Term
Euglenzoa
Definition
ex. Euglena, trypanosoma
Are flagellates, kinetoplastids, autotrophic, heterotrophic, mixotrophic
-photosynthetic autotrophs and heterotrophs
-Monophyletic
Term
Alveolata
Definition
include- Dinoflagellates
Apicomlexans
Sporozoans
Plasmodium (causes Malaria)
Cilliates - Paramecium
Have small membrane bound cavities called alveoli located under the cell surface
Term
Stramenopila
Definition
includes: Diatoms
Bacillariophyta
Golden Algae
Chrysophyta
Water molds
Oomycota
Brown Algae
Phaephyta
Have numerous fine, hair-like projections on flagella
Term
Rhodophyta
Definition
Red Algae

Most are multicellular and live in warm costal waters of tropical oceans
Term
Why are pseudpods(Rhizopods, Actinopods, and Foraminiferans) placed in on the candidate kingdoms?
Definition
Little is know of their phylogeny and there are taxonomic uncertainties
Term
Plasmodial slime molds
Definition
-brightly pigmented
-heterotrophic
-single mass of cytoplasm. not multicelluar, undivided
Term
Cellular Slime Molds
Definition
-mass of cells resembles a plasmodial slime mold
-cells maintain their identity
-haploid organism
-not flagellated
Term
how do seaweeds adapt to pounding waves
Definition
Cell composed of cellulose and gel-forming polysaccharides to cushion the thalli against the agitation of the waves
Term
Gametophyte
Definition
multicelled haploid stage
produces gametes
Term
Heteromorphic
Definition
sporophyte and gametophyte structurally different
Term
Isogamy
Definition
male and female gametes look alike
Term
Isomorphic
Definition
sporophyte and gametophyte look alike
Term
Oogamy
Definition
male and female gamete different size
flagellated sperm and nonmotile egg
Term
Oogamy
Definition
male and female gamete different size
flagellated sperm and nonmotile egg
Term
sporophyte
Definition
produces spores
multicelled diploid stage
Term
how is green algae similar to plant
Definition
green algae has grass green chloroplast, which are much like those of organisms we traditionally call plants
