haploid spores gametes (diploid) gametophyte generation sporophyte generation
Produced by a sporophyte Produced by a gametophyte What generation is haploid What generation is diploid
prokaryotic eukaryotic eukaryotic prokaryotic
has a large circular chromosome? undergoes mitosis? has compartments (organelles)? Is the precursor of mitochondria?
protist bacteria prion prion
African sleeping sickness Anthrax Chronic Wasting disease Kuru
gametes are not equal in appearance (human)
Anisogamy
No, just photoautotrophs (some algae and plants)
Do all eukaryotic cells have chloroplasts? Which ones?
found in fungi, plants and animals (photosynthetic organisms) Parasites do not have mitochondria
Do all eukaryotic cells have mitochondria? Which ones do not?
No- kingdom Protista has been broken up
Does the term protist have systematic meaning?
eukaryotic prokaryotic prokaryotic both!!
Has a nucleus? Divides by binary fission? Has peptidoglycan as part of a cell wall? Has a cell membrane (plasma membrane)?
-Formanifera -Diatoms -Red Algae -Red Algae (food additives) -Dinoflagellates
Formed the sedimentary rock that makes up the white cliffs of Dover? Produces biofilms? Is used to wrap sushi? Produces carageenan (where do you find this?) Can cause red tides
-Diatoms -Trypanosomes -Plasmodium -Brown Algae -Dinoflagellates -Brown Algae (kelp)
Has a cell wall of silica Causes African sleeping sickness? Causes malaria? Is likely one of the largest protists? Is an endosymbiont of coral tissue? Can reach a size of 60 ft tall?
-They're both types of Rhizaria that use threadlike pseudopodia (false feet) for feeding and movement -Actinopoda- have skeletons made of silica -Formanifera- multi-chambered tests made of calcium carbonates
How are Formaniniferans and Actinopodans similar? How do they differ?
-Planton is made up of tiny plants (phytoplankton) and tiny animals (zooplankton) -diatoms and dinoflagellates (responsible for seasonal algae blooms)
How are phytoplankton different from zooplankton? Can you name some protists that would be classified as phytoplankton?
serial endosymbiosis- evolved from special infolding of the plasma membrane
How did Eukaryotic cells get Mitochondria and chloroplasts?
-Pseudopodia -Flagella and cilia -No, not necessarily (dinoflagellates are algae and Giardia are protozoans although they both have flagella)
How does an Amoeba move? What other mechanisms for motion are found among protists? Do similar modes of transport always signify phylogenetic relationships?
gametes are equal in appearance
Isogamy
Protist virus virus virus virus bacteria
Malaria Small pox Common cold Ebola Flu Botulism
flagellated sperm moves to a non motile sperm (human)
Oogamy
Cilia are short/many per cell Flagellates are long/1-few Flagella motion is wavelike, cilia perform complicated 3D motion with a power and recovery stroke
Paramecium has cilia. How is this different from a protist that has flagella?
fusion of gametes
Syngamy
-any of numerous groups of chlorophyll-containing, mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms (great range) -different accessory pigments allow absorption of different lights -green algae
What does the term algae refer to? What is one major difference between brown, red and green algae? (Ancestor of plants? Forms part of lichens?)
microscopic organisms that float freely with oceanic currents and in other bodies of water
What does the term plankton refer to?
multicellular algae (green, brown or red) -thallus- the body -holdfast- rootlike for attachment only (no nutrients) -stipe- stem like blade- leaf-like
What does the term seaweed refer to? What are the major parts? How is a holdfast different form a root?
dinoflagellate bloom (red tide) is disastrous for our economy and marine ecosystem (kills everything) Zooxanthellae is the main food source in reef systems, it's what makes coral reefs pretty (tourism) -Plasmodium- causes malaria
What ecological effects (and economic) do dinoflagellates have? What are their closest relatives (among those we discussed in class)?
sporophyte generation gametophyte generation haploid diploid production of haploid spores
What generation develops from a zygote? What generation develops from a spore? Are spores haploid or diploid? Are gametes haploid or diploid? What is meiosis used for?
1. Chemoheterotrophs (absorptive and ingestive protists) 2. photoautotrophs (photosynthetic pigments-diverse) 3. mixotrophs (both autotrophic and heterotrophic)
What type of nutritional categories are found in protists?
free-living oceans, fresh water, leaf litter--> anywhere moist
Where are protists (unicellular eukaryotes) found?
anisogamous
are human gametes isogamous or anisogamous
eukaryotic
what domain are protist found in?
