TermDefinition
The characteristic that all protists
All are eukaryotic in the kingdom
Endosymbiotic Theory
--introduced by Lynn Margulis in the 1960s --explains the evolution of the original eukaryotes from ancestral prokaryotes --also explains the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplast in eukaryotic cells.
Grouping A. Flagellated Protists
all contain flagella for locomotion that evolved from a common ancestor
what grouping is --1. Phylum Diplomonadida – 2. Phylum Parabasala – 3. Phylum Kinetoplastida – 4. Phylum Eugleno
A. Flagellated Protists
Grouping B. Alveolates
All have membrane-bound sacs under the plasma membrane that regulate water and ion balance and stabilize the cell’s surface
What grouping is: 1. Phylum Dinoflagellata 2. Phylum Apicomplexa 3. Phylum Ciliophora
B. Alveolates
Alveoli
Are sacs under the plasma membrane are a defining characteristic of alveolates
Grouping C. Stramenopiles
Protists with reproductive cells possessing two flagella - one “hairy” flagellum and one "smooth" one
What grouping is: 1. Phylum Oomycota - water molds 2. Phylum Bacillariophyta - diatoms 3. Phylum Chrysophyta - golden algae 4. Phylum Phaeophyta - brown algae
C. Stramenopiles
Stramenopile flagella
most stramenopiles, have reproductive cells with two flagella: one covered with fine stiff hairs and one smooth,
Zoosporangia-- In Phylum Oomycota
are asexual reproductive structures that produce asexual zoospores. Each one has a smooth and a hairy flagellum in aquatic water molds.
Oogonia- In Phylum Oomycota
are female sexual reproductive structures that produce eggs in aquatic water molds.
Antheridia- In Phylum Oomycota
are male sexual reproductive structures that produce sperm in aquatic water molds.
Grouping D. Amoebozoans
use pseudopodia, cytoplasmic cellular projections for movement and feed by phagocytosis.
what grouping is: 1. Phylum Gymnamoeba - free-living amoebas 2. Phylum Entamoeba - parasitic amoebas 3. Phylum Myxogastrida – plasmodial slime molds 4. Phylum Dictyostelida – cellular slime molds
D. Amoebozoans
Phagocytosis
the engulfment of food into vesicles
Grouping E. Phylum Rhodophyta
Is All Red Algae
Grouping F. Phylum Chlorophyta
Is Green Algae -closest living ancestor to plants
