Cards

Term
what are the intracellular structures
Definition
contractile vavulole, food vacuoles, pellicle, pseudopodia, cilia
Term
Protist habitats
Definition
require liquid or moist habitats
Term
Phytoplankton
Definition
protosynthetic protists in water
Term
Zooplankton
Definition
protists and other small organisms that feed on phytoplankton
Term
besides zooplankton and phytoplankton what are the other 2 types of protists
Definition
Detritus feeders and parasites
Term
Excavates
Definition
flagellated single cell animal parosites, lack mitocondria - adapt to parastitism low oxygen
Term
Diplomonadida
Definition
Excavate, two nuclei and flagella, lack ER and Golgi - Giardia Lamblia
Term
Parabasala
Definition
Excavate, undulating membrane - trichomonas vaginalis
Term
Discicristates
Definition
disc shaped mitochondrial cristae - motile
Term
euglenoids
Definition
Discicristates, free living protosynthetic, heterotrophic - euglena gracilis
Term
kinetoplastids
Definition
Discicristates, animal parasites with kinetoplast - trypanosoma brucei
Term
Ciliates
Definition
Alveolates, motile mostly free living - ciliphora - swim using cilia - complex xytoplasmic structures - two types of nuclei - micro and macro - fresh and salt water- paramecium
Term
dinoflagellate
Definition
Alveolates, motile mostely free living - dinoflagellata - shell of cellulose plates, swim using flagella - primarily marine - some photosynthetic - bioluminescent - red tides
Term
apicomplexans
Definition
Alveolates, nonmotile, parasitic - apicomplexa - animal parasite - apical complex attaches to and invades host cell - plasmodium(malaria) spread by anopleles mosquitoes - reproduce both asexual and sexual
Term
Heterokonts
Definition
two different flagella - hairy and plain - mostely on eggs and sperm
Term
oomoycota
Definition
Heterokonts, fungus like watermolds, white rusts, downey mildewm - can be saprophytes or parasites - grow as hyphal filaments 0 diploid hyphae and mycelium - secrete enzymes to digest organic matter
Term
diatoms
Definition
Heterokonts, single celled, covered by silica shells - diatomaceous earth, autotrophs- photo, carbon fixing marine plankton - asexual and sexual reproduction - daughter cells receive different sized shells, zygotes secrete new shells
Term
golden algae
Definition
Heterokonts, chrysophyta - colonial forms - has flagella and silica scales - fucoxanthin gives color
Term
brown algae
Definition
Heterokonts, phaeophyta - multicellular marine forms (kelp)
Contain algin - kelps : largest most complex protists - differentiated into blades, stipes, and holdfasts - sporophte and gametophyte generations
Term
Cercozoa
Definition
ameobas with stiff filamentous pseudopods - many produce hard outer shells(tests)
Term
Radiolara(radiolarians)
Definition
Cercozoa, glassy internal skeleton - component of sedimentary rock - marine heterotrophs - axopods project through skeleton, trap prey
Term
Foraminifera(forams)
Definition
Cercozoa, for chambered, spiral shells containing calcium carbonate - component of limestone and marble - marine heterotrophs - cytoplasm exteds through perfortions in shells trap prey - some with algal sybionts (auto and heterotrophic)
Term
Chlorarachniophytes
Definition
Cercozoa, Green, phtosynthetic amoebas, engult foos using filamentous pseudapodia
Term
amoebas
Definition
Amoebozoa, most amoebas (not cercozoa) - enviroment: marine freshwater and soil - lobose pseudopods (no fixed body shape) - asexual, single celled, heterotrophs and some parasitic
Term
slime milds (cellular, plasmodial
Definition
complex life cycle - fruiting body forms spores by asexual or sexual production
- cellular slime molds - exists primarily as single cells
- plasmodial slime molds - exist primaraily as a composite mass of sytoplasm(plasmodium) with many nuclei - molecualr research
Term
Archaeplastida
Definition
includes land plants(kingdom plantar) and two protist groups, all photosythensizers
