Term

protist

Definition
eukaryotes that are not members of the kingodms plantae, animalie, or fungi
Term

zooflagellates

Definition
animallike protists that swim using flagella
Term
sarcodines
Definition
animallike protists that use pseudopods for feeding and movement
Term
psuedopods
Definition
temporary cytoplasmic projections
Term
amoebid movement
Definition
cytoplasm of the cells treams into the pseudopod and the rest of the cell follows
Term
food vacule
Definition
small cavity in cytoplasm that temporarily stores food
Term
cilia
Definition

short hairlike projections similar to flagella

Term
ciliates (ciliophora)
Definition
use cilia for movement and feeding
Term
trichocysts
Definition
small bottle-shaped structures used for defense in ciliates(paremecium)
Term
macronucleus
Definition

"working library" of genetic information

keeping multiple copies of mots of the genes that the cell needs in its day-to-day existence

Term
micronucleus
Definition

contains a "reserve copy" of all the cell's genes

Term
gullet
Definition

indention in onbe side of the organism

cilia sweep food particles into this

Term
anal pore
Definition
region of the cell membrane that the food vacuole fuses with
Term
contractile vacuole
Definition
cavities in the ctyoplasm that are specialized to collect water
Term

ciliates

Definition

reproduce asexually by mitosis/cytokinesis

 

Term
conjugation
Definition

exchange of genetic material

used by paramecia when under stress

not a form of reproduction because no new individuals are formed

is a sexual process

Term
sporazoa
Definition

parasitic

reproduce by sporazoites

under right conditions attach to host cell, penetrate it, and live within as a parasite

Term
animallike protists
Definition
can cause serious diseases including malaria and african sleeping sickness
Term

sporazoan plasmodium

Definition

causes malaria

carried by femal anophele mosquito

infects liver cells then red blood cells, where it multiplies rapidly

Term

algae

Definition
plant like protists commonly called this
Term

trypanosoma

zooflagellate

Definition

cause african sleeping sickness

tsetse fly

destroy blood cells and infect other tissues in the body

 

Term
entamoeba
Definition

causes amebic dysentery

parasitic amoebas

absorb food from host

attack inestine

 

Term
accessory pigments
Definition

compounds that absorb light at different wavelengths than chlorophyll

pass the E they absorb to algae's photosynthetic machinery

 

Term
chlorophyll and accessory pigments
Definition
allow algae to harvest and use E from the sunlight
Term
euglenophytes
Definition

plantlike protists that have two flagella(one long and one shorter) but no cell wall
have chloroplasts

found in ponds/lakes throughout the world

excellent swimmers

can also live heterotrophically absorbing nutrients available in decayed organic material

reproduce asexually through binary fission

Term
pellicle
Definition

intricate cell membrane

folded into ribonlike ridges supported by microtubules

tough and flezible letting euglenas crawl through mud when not enough water to swim

 

Term
chrysophyta
Definition

diverse group of plantlike protists that have gold-colored chloroplasts

Term
diatoms
Definition

produce thin, delicate, cell walls rich in silicone- the main component of glass

shaped like two sides of a petri dish

 

Term
dinoflagellates
Definition

half photosynthetic; half live as heterotrophs

generally have two flagella

thick plates of cellulos that protect cel

reproduce asexually through binary fission

many are luminescent

 

Term
phytoplankton
Definition
constitute population of small, photosynthetic organisms found near surface of ocean
Term
RED ALGAE
Definition

phylum- Rhodophyta

able to live at great depths due to their efficiency in harvesting light E

contain chlorophyll A and reddish accesory pigments called phycobilins

actually usually green purple or reddish black

multicellular

have complex life cycles

lack flagella and centrioles

 

Term

phycobilins

 

Definition
good at absorbing blue light enabling red algae to live deeper in ocean than many other photosyntheic algae
Term
BROWN ALGAE
Definition

phylum- phaeophyta

contain chlorphyll A and C and brown accessory pigment (fucoxanthin)

combo. of chlorophyll C and fucoxanthin greate dark yellow brown color

largest and most complex of algae

muliticellular

most marine

 

Term
Green Algae
Definition

Chlorophyta

share many characteristics with plants- photosynthetic pigments(chlorophyll A and B) and cell wall composition (made of cellulose) and store food in the form of starch

found in fresh/salt water and moist areas on land

live most of their lives as single cells

others form colonies

few are mulitcellular

 

Term

a diploid and a haploid generation

 

Definition
life cycles of many algae inclue both
Term
filaments
Definition
threadlike colonies where cells are stakced
Term
alteration of generations
Definition

process where many algae switch back and forath between haploid and diploid stages during their life cycles

Term

gametohpytes

Definition

haploid forms of an Ulva

gamete producing plant

Term
spores
Definition

haploid reproductive cells produced when a diploid ulva undergoes meiosis

able to grow into a new individual without fusing to another cell

 

Term
sporophyte
Definition
spore producing organism
