Cards

Term
1. parabasolids
2. diplomonad
Definition
1. A protist that has modified mitochondria, two equal-sized nuclei, and multiple flagella.
2. A protist that has modified mitochondria, two equal-sized nuclei, and multiple flagella
Term
3. Euglenozoa
Definition
-flagellated: locomotion
-autotrophic – mixotrophic – heterotrophic
-kinetoplastids – 1 large mitochondria associated w/ unique organelle: kinetoplast
-kinetoplast = houses extranuclear DNA
Exe – trypanosome (African sleeping sickness)
-1-3 flagella
-facultatively photosynthetic
Term
4. euglena
Definition
-usually bright grass green
-contain chlorophyll a and h carotene and xanthophylls
-paramylon
-no cell wall
-highly motile (1-3 flagella)
-photosynthetic or phagotrophic
-all we do, euglena does – diff is that they are unicellular
-contain gullet or mouth
Term
5. Alveolata
Definition
-w/ subsurface cavities (alveoli)
-dinoflagellates, apicomplexan parasites, and ciliated protests (cilophora)
-clade supported by molecular systematics
-all have aveoli – under surface
Term
6. dinoflagellates
Definition
-unicellular, chlorophylls a and c
-starch, glucan, oil
-cellulose cell wall or absent
-2 flagella (unusual placement)
-harmful algal -> red tides (HAB)
Term
7. Apicomplexans
Definition
-Parasite: some cause human disease
-tiny infectious cells (sporozites) w/ a complex organelles for penetrating host cells & tissue at the apex of sporozite cell
-intricate life cycles: sexual and asexual stages -> 2 host species 4 completion
*Plasmodium: Parasite that cuases malaria
Term
8. Ciliates
Definition
-macronucleus and micronuclei
1. macronucleus
Greater than or equal to 50 copies of genome
Controls everyday functions or cell asexual reproduction
2. micronuclei

Cilophora – use cilia to move and feed
Term
9. Stramenopila
Definition
-heterotrophs and photoautotrophs
-named from many fine, hairlike projections on flagella
-heterotrophs: oomycotes, water molds, white rusts, downy mildew
-photoautotroph: diatoms, gold and brown algae
-hairy flagella paired w/ naked one
-flagella may only be present on gametic cells
Term
10. OOmycota
Definition
-580 species -> algae that lost their chloroplasts??
-have “hyphae” that make spores like fungi
-cellulose or chitin cell walls & flagellated swimming spores like algae
-unicellular(some), others w/ many hyphae(fine, branching filaments)
-not fungi: diploid stage dominates in oomycotes and they have biflagellated cells
-decomposers or plant pathogens -> absorb predigested nutrients -> saphrophytes or parasite in moist environment
Term
11. Phytophthora
Definition
-serious plant pathogen
-found on leaves or grapes (exe)
-Phytophthora infestans
-potato – produces irish potato famine 1845-1847
Term
12. Stramenopila: chromophyta
Definition
-includes yellow –g algae, golden brown, diatoms, and brown algae
-mostly golden brown
- chlorophyll a, c (olive green color)
-store food as Laminarin or chrysolaminarin
Term
13. Diatoms
Definition
-unicelluar and aquatic
-chlorophylls a and c, carotene and xanthophylls
-chrysolaminarin
-shell (frustule) -> silica (glass)
-2 halves like Petri dish
-single flagellum (sperm)
-radially or bilaterally symmetric
Term
14. Chrysophyta
Definition
-golden algae
-2 flagella
-all are photosynthetic, some mixotrophic or even perform phagocytosis
-indicate water pollution (BIG BIG)
-chlorophyll a and c
Term
15. Phaeophyceae
Definition
-olive green, golden, dark brown
-largest protista (california algae)
-chlorophylls a and c and C2, cartenoids, fucoxanthin and other xanthophylls
-laminarin
-cell wall: cellulose, alginic acid (rubbery texture)
-2 unequal and lateral flagella
Term
16. Economic uses of brown algae
Definition
Algin – compound in cell walls used as thickening and stabilizing agent: ice cream, marshmallows, and other products
Food – Kombu
Iodine – medicinal use
Term
17. Cercozoans (thread like pseudopodia) : chlorarachnlophytes and foraminiferans
Definition
-amoeba like
-forams have “tests” or shells of calcium carbonate ->multi chambered
-som forams: symbiotic relationships w/ photozynthizing algae
Term
18. Radiolara
Definition
-ameoba like
-thread like pseudopodia
-“tests” of silica into one piece
-not multichambered
-pseudopodia radiate from center, reinforced w/ microtubuoles
Term
19. Amoebzoa
Definition
-amoeba like taxa
-lobe shaped pseudopia – true amoeba motion
-gymnamoebas – free living aquatic and moist
-entamoebas – parasites in moist area inside of organisms
-slime molds – moist, cellular and plasmodial
Term
20. slime molds
Definition
-analogous to fungi : decomposers
-feed and move via pseudopodia like amoeba
-two groups : plasmodial
Cellular
