Chapter 27 & 28 Exam

Life Sciences II -- Prokaryotes and Protists

QuestionAnswer
Gram-Positive Bacteria Describing the group of bacteria that have a cell wall that is structurally less complex and contains more peptidoglycan than the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria. They are usually less toxic than gram-negative bacteria. They are stained dark blue or v
Gram-Negative Bacteria The group of bacteria that have a cell wall that is structurally more complex and contains less peptidoglycan than the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria. They are more toxic than gram-positive bacteria. They do not stain during Gram staining.
Gram Stain A staining method that distinguishes between two different kinds of bacterial cell walls; may be used to help determine medical response to an infection.
Ciliate Any of many protozoa, of the class Ciliata, that have many cilia.
Dinoflagellate Any of many marine protozoa, of the phylum Dinoflagellata, that have two flagella
Plasmodium vivax Parasitic protozoan that causes malaria in humans.
Apicomplex g
Brown Algae j
Golden Algae Biflagellated, photosynthetic protist named for its color, which results from it is yellow and brown carotenoids.
Protist Any of the eukaryotic unicellular organisms of the kingdom Protoctista; including protozoans, slime molds and some algae.
Cyanobacterium Any of very many photosynthetic prokaryotic microorganisms, of phylum Cyanobacteria, once known as blue-green algae
Oomycete Any of a number of filamentous unicellular protists of the class Oomycetes; the water molds
Excavata h

Parabasalids des
Euglenozoans df
Chromalveolata f
Diatom One of the Diatomaceae, a family of minute unicellular algae having a siliceous covering of great delicacy.
Rhizaria g
Forams g
Radiolarian Any of many marine amoeboid protozoa, of subclass Radiolaria, having filamentous pseudopodia; they have intricate silica skeletons
Cercozoans yg
Alveolate A grouping of protists comprising the ciliates, sporozoa and dinoflagellates
Kinetoplastid Any of a group of parasitic flagellate protozoa, of the class Kinetoplastida, responsible for several diseases in humans and animals.
Stramenophiles h
Alternation of Generations The life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form, the sporophyte, and a multicellular haploid form, gametophyte; characteristic of plants and some algae.
Chemoautotroph An organism that obtains energy by oxidizing inorganic substances and needs only carbon dioxide as a carbon source.
Chemoheterotroph An organism that requires organic molecules for both energy and carbon.
Photoheterotroph An organism that uses light to generate ATP but must obtain carbon in organic forms.
Photoautotroph An organism that harnesses light energy to drive the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide.
Mixotroph An organism that is capable of both photosynthesis and heterotrophy.
Heterotroph In organism that obtains organic food molecules I eating other organisms or substances derived from the.
Autotroph An organism that obtains organic food molecules without eating other organisms or substances derived from other organisms. They use energy from the sun or from oxidation of the inorganic substances to make organic molecules from inorganic ones.
Plasmogamy In fungi, diffusion of the cytoplasm of cells from two individuals; occurs as one stage of sexual reproduction, followed later by karyogamy.
Karyogamy In fungi, diffusion of haploid nuclei contributed by the to parents; occurs as one stage of sexual reproduction, preceded by a plasmogamy.

Colonial Eukaryotes h
Multicellular protists observed in lab Spirogyra,

Alveolate disease life-cycle malaria???
Genus: Trypanosoma A genus of kinetoplastids euglenozoans
Mitosome An organelle found within certain unicellular eukaryotes which lack mitochondria. these organelles lack functional electron transport chains and hence cannot use oxygen to help extract energy from carbohydrates and other organic molecules.
