Question | Answer |
---|---|
Protists are unicellular or Multicellular? | Unicellular |
What is the Diversity of Protist | Most are unicellular and some are colonial, multicellular, and multinucleate. |
What is a multinucleate | a multiple of nuclei |
What are the multinucleate features | no cell wall or plasma membrane |
What occurs in multinucleates? | Mitosis without cytokinesis |
What are the 3 types of protists. | Autotrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic |
where do protists live? | aquatic area marine or freshwater |
What is a Protozoan | Animal like protist |
What are slime molds | Fungus like protists |
What are algae | Plant like protists |
Do protists represent a true clade? | no |
what is the first protist in the excavata branch | Diplomonadida |
What are the diplomonadida Charcterisitic | Unicellular heterotrophs move using multiple flagella reproduce asexually no cell wall two nuclei Primitive mitochondria |
What is giardia | A parasite in humans |
What does giardia cause. | Severe diarrhea |
What is the 2nd protist of the Excavata Branch | Parabasalida |
What are the cahertisitic of Parabaslida | Unicellular heterotrophs Move using multiple flagella reproduce asexually no cell wall one nucleus Primitive mitochondria |
Where are the parabaslids located | Parabaslids are entirely symbiotic within animals. (live insde of animals) |
Trichonympha | Breaks down the cellulose of lignin in wood |
trichomonas | Live parasitically within the human urogenital system |
Trichomoniasis | A sexually transmitted disease that result in infections of the female system |
What branch is Kinetoplastida in. | Discicristata branch |
What are the characteristic | unicellular heterotrophs Move using two flagella reproduce asexually no cell wall a single full functional mitochondrion |
Where is kinetoplastida found | in marine, freshwater or damp terrestrial enviroments |
What type of kinetoplasts are parasitic | Trypanosoma |
What is Trypanosoma | African sleeping sickness and Chagas disease |
Euglendia | 2nd protist in the Discicristata branch |
What are the chacteristics of Euglendia | Unicellular mixotroph, moves using one long flagellum, reprodu ce assexually, no cell wall |
What is replaced with the cell wall in euglendia protists. | a pellicle (priten sheet) lies directly beneath the plasma membrane |
Where is euglendia located | mostly freshwater ( a few marine) |
Is euglendia a phytoplankton | yes under the euglendia group |
What do contractile vacouoles do? | Store and expel excess water in freshwaterr habitats |
