| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| green algae | Chlorophyta |
| red algae | Rhodophyta |
| brown algae | phaeophyta |
| golden algae | chrysophyta |
| diatoms | Bacilliariophyta |
| endosymbiont | an organism that lives inside another, dissimilar organism (symbiotic relationship) |
| mitochondria | descendant of alpha-proteobacteria (purple non-sulfer bacteria) |
| chloroplast | descendant of cyanobacteria |
| primary endosymbiosis | phagocytic eukaryote takes in a prokaryote |
| secondary endosymbiosis | phagocytic eukaryote takes in a photosynthetic eukaryote |
| Cryptophyta - Crytomonads | fast-growing, unicellular algae that have two unequal flagella, some pigmented (autotrophic) and some non-pigmented (heterotrophic) |
| Cryptomonads info | chloroplasts surrounded by four bounding membranes (suggest secondary endosymbiosis (fusion of two eukaryotic cells - one heterotroph and one autotroph) |
| carbohydrate storage of Cryptomonads | starch |
| chloroplast pigments in Cryptomonads | chlorophyll a and c, phycobilins and carotenoids |
| Haptophytes | phytoplankton, most diverse in tropics, unicellular and colonial flagellates and unicellular and colonial non-motile cells |
| Haptonema | short, threadlike structure (bends or coils) that sense and avoids object and allows the capture of prey |
| coccoliths | small, flat scales on outer surface of cell (cellulose or calcium carbonate) |
| photosynthetic pigments of haptophytes | chlorophyls a and c, carotenoids, and fucoxanthin |
| haptophtes info | four membranes around chloroplast |
| carbohydrate storage of Haptophyts | chrysolaminarin |
| heterokonts | different flagella (2 flagella - one shorter, whiplike and smooth, and the other longer, ornamented with hairs (tinsel)) |
| Oomycota | cell walls composed of cellulose (not chitin), unicellular to highly branched, coenocytic and filamentous |
| reproduction of oomycota | asexual - by motile zoospores and sexual repro by oogamous |
| oogonium | produces female gametes (n) (contains one to many eggs) |
| antheridium | produces male gametes (n) (contains many male nuclei) |
| gametic meiosis | only haploid cells are egg and sperm |
| photosynthetic pigments of oomycota | none |
| carbohydrate storage of oomycota | glycogen |
| Bacilliarophyta | unicellular and colonial, important component of phytoplankton and lack flagella |
| cell walls (2n) of Bacilliarophyta | frustules - made of opaline silica and composed of two halves that overlap |
| carbohydrate storage in Bacillariophyta | chrysolaminarin |
| photosynthetic pigments in Bacillariophyta | none or chlorophyll a and c and fucoxanthin (carotenoid) |
| pennate diatoms | bilaterally symmetrical and sexual reproduction is isogamous (nonflagellate) and possess 2 large chloroplasts |
| centric diatoms | radially symmetrical and sexual reproduction is oogamous (males gametes flagella), and possess numerous disc-shaped chloroplasts |
| Chrysophyta | unicellular or colonial (some filamentous, tissue-like forms), most autotrophic, some both hetero and autotrophic (under low nutrient conditions), mostly reproduce asexually (some with zoospores) |
| photosynthetic pigments of Chrysophyta | none or chlorophylls a and c and fucoxanthin (carotenoid) |
| carbohydrate storage of chrysophyta | chrysolaminarin |
| cell walls of Chrysophyta | none, cellulose fibrils impregnated with minerals or overlapping, ornamented silica scales |
| resting cysts of Chrysophyta | silica shell |
| Phaeophyta | unicellular or multicellular |
| growth form of brown algae | thallus |
| thallus | simple, relatively undifferentiated vegetative body that ranges from filamentous to multicellular (distinct tissue layers) and adjacent cells linked by plasmodesmata (cytoplasmic connections) |
| brown algae information | has numerous disc-shaped chloroplasts |
| photosynthestic pigments of brown algae | chlorophylls a and c and fucoxanthin |
| carbohydrate storage of brown algae | laminarin |
| kelp (brown algae) | composed of holdfast, stipe and blade (meristematic region of cell division is between stipe and blade) |
| cell wall composition | cellulose and algin |
| algin | mucilaginous, intercellular material that's flexible & tough, reduces drying (low tide), increases buoyancy, prevents colonization by other organisms (barnacles, other algae), & can be used as a stabilizer and emulsifier in foods (gelatin, pudding, etc.) |
| kelp (food-conducting cells) | composed of mannitol and amino acids (resemble sieve tube cells from phloem in vascular plants) |
| rockweed | grow from repeated divisions of apical (at tip) cell, some have lost holdfast and are freefloating, and have airbladders near ends of blades |
| Fucus | gametic meiosis |
| Ectocarpus life cycle | alternates generations (sporic meiosis - most brown algae) |
| sporophyte (2n) | unilocular sporangia - meiosis, haploid zoospores and plurilocular sporangia - diploid zoospores (mitosis) |
| gametophyte (n) - multicellular | plurilocular gametangia - gametes (isogamous), plurilocular sporangia - haploid zoospores |
| glaucophytes | sister to red and green algae |
| photosynthetic pigments of gluacophytes | chlorophyll a, phycobilins, and carotenoids |
| primary endosymbiosis in glaucophytes | cyanelles - primitive chloroplasts which retain peptidoglycan cell wall between two membranes (resemble cyanobacteria) |
| Rhodophyta | sister to green plants, most filamentous or multicellular, few unicellular |
| photosynthetic pigments of rhodophyta | chlorophyll a, phycobilins, carotenoids |
| rhodophyta is unique because | no centrioles (mitosis) and no flagellated cells |
| carbohydrate reserve | floridean starch (in cytoplasm) |
| cell wall of rhodophyta | inner - rigid, cellulose, and outer - mucilage (agar, carageenan), prevents colonization by other algae |
| coralline algae | calcium carbonate in cell wall (hard, stony) |
| reproduction of rhodophyta | asexual-monospores & sexual-complex life cycles (sporic meiosis: diploid sporophyte-sporic meiosis produces haploid spores, & haploid gametophyte-males spermatangia-nonmotile spermatia & female carpogonium-produces egg & trichogyne for spermatia reception |
| Chlorophyta | can form symbiotic relationships with lichens, sponges and coelenterates, unicellular or multicellular |
| photosynethic pigments of chlorophyta | chlorophylls a and b, carotenoid |
| carbohydrate storage of chlorophyta | starch |
| Chlorophyta (3 groups) | Chlorophyceae, ulvophyceae, and charophyceae |
