PROTISTS

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Excavata groups   Diplomonads, Parabasalids, Euglenozoans Spiral clade that includes kinetoplastids and euglenoids  
🗑
Sar groups   Stramenophiles, alveolates, rhizarians Most controversial  
🗑
Archeaplastida groups   red algae, green algae, and plants  
🗑
Unikonta groups   includes animals, fungi, and some protists.  
🗑
Endosymbiosis   a relationship between two species in which one organism lives inside the cell or cells of another organism  
🗑
Diplomonads   lack plastids and have modified mitochondria called mirosomes that derive anaerobic biochemical pathways  
🗑
Diplomonads example   often parasites Ex. Giardia intestinalis  
🗑
Parabasalids   lack plastids and have reduced mitochondria called hydrogenosomes that derive energy anaerobically  
🗑
Parabasalids example   Trichomonas vaginalis  
🗑
Kinetoplastids   single mitochondrion with DNA called kinetoplast. EX: African sleeping sickness and Chagas kissing bug) disease (  
🗑
Euglenids   has one or two flagella that emerge from a pocket from one end of the cell  
🗑
Stramenophiles characteristics   have hairy flagella with a smooth flagella  
🗑
Strameophile EX   Brown algae and diatoms  
🗑
Alveolates characteristics   has membrane enclosed sacs (alveoli) just beneath the plasma membrane. Include: Dinoflagellates, Apicomplexans, Ciliates  
🗑
Dinoflagellates   has two flagella reinforced by cellulose plates Toxic "red rides" are caused by dinogellates blooms  
🗑
Apicomplexans   spread through their host as infectious cells called sporozoites (penetrates host cell)  
🗑
Apicomplexans EX   Malaria  
🗑
Ciliates   Most are predators of bacteria or protists with two types of nuclei. Sexual process is through binary fisson  
🗑
Rhizarians   Many species are amoebas that move and feed by pseudopodia  
🗑
Radiolarians characteristics   have symmetrical internal skeletons made of silica cytoplasm engulf prey that becomes attached to pseudopodia  
🗑
Pseudopodia   the extension of the body  
🗑
Formaniniferans (Forams)   "tests" shells made of calcium carbonate. Pseudopodia extend through pores of tests.  
🗑
Red algae   reddish in color because of phycierythrin that masks the color of chlorophyll usually, multicellular ad the largest are seaweeds  
🗑
Green algae characteristics   Closely related to plants. Main groups are charophytes and chlorophytes  
🗑
Green algae environment   Most lives in freshwater and marine  
🗑
Amoebzoans   tube or lobe like psuedopodia  
🗑
Slime molds   spore producing fruiting bodies  
🗑
Plasmodial slime molds characteristics   a unicellular feeding mass (plasmodium0  
🗑
Cellular slime molds characteristics   motile stage, forms fruiting body  
🗑
Tubulinids   most are common unicellular protists in soil, freshwater, and marine environments  
🗑
Entomoebas   parasites of vertebrates and some invertebrates Causes amebic dysentery.  
🗑
Symbiotic protists   benefit from their host or are parasitic (plasmodium causes malaria)  
🗑
Photosynthetic producer protists   use photosynthesis and are main producers in aquatic coommunities. Are limited by nutrients  
🗑
Photoautotrophs   contains chloroplasts.  
🗑
Heterotrophs   absorb organic molecules or ingest food  
🗑
Mixotrophs   combine photosynthesis and heterotrophism  
🗑
4 supergroups of eukaryotes   Excavata, SAR, Archaeplastids, Unikonta  
🗑
Protists are..   eukaryotes  
🗑
Unikonta clades   amoebozoans and ophisthkonts  
🗑
Rhizarian groups   radiolarians, forams, cercozoans  
🗑
Amoebzoans groups   slime molds, tubulins, and antamoebas  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
