| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 5 main super groups? | 1.Rhizarians 2.Archaeplatida 3.Uniknots 4.Excavata 5.Chromalveolates |
| What are the 3 characteristics that group rhizarians? | 1.DNA similarities 2.Pseudopia 3.changes shate to move cytoplasm |
| In rhizarians what is the pseudopia used for? | Locomotion & Feeding |
| What are the 2 types of Rhizarians? | Radiolarians and Forams |
| What are the 3 characteristics of Radiolarians? | 1. Marine Amoeba 2.Internal silica skeleton 3.Pseudopia extends along microtubules |
| What ate thee 2 characteristics of Forams? | 1. shell of calcium carbonate 2.pseudopia extend from pores. |
| What are the 3 characteristics that group Archaeplastida? | 1. evolutionary based on green & red algae 2.Photosynthetic (ancestor of plants) 3. primary producers in marine/fresh water food webs |
| What are th two types of Archaeplastida? | Green and Red Algae |
| What are the 3 characteristics of green algae? | 1.ancestor of plants 2. symbiotic to lichens 3.unicellular, multi cellular, and colonial |
| What are the 2 characteristics of red algae? | 1.Mosty multicellular 2.red pigments cover chlorophyll |
| Symbiotic | Living together, benefit one another. |
| Colonial | Living in a group, when one becomes seperated it can live on its own. (multi. cannot do this) |
| What group characteristic makes up uniknots? | protein and DNA similarities |

| what are the 2 types of Excavata? | Euglenids and Euglenazoans |
| What are the 4 characteristics of Euglenids? | 1.mostly freshwater 2.1-2 flagella 3.pellicle 4.mixotrophs |
| What are the 2 characteristics of Euglenazoans? | 1.Kinetoplastid 2. presence of rod in flagella |
| Pellicle | protein band that gives the cell shape & support |
| Kinetoplastid | large mitochondria w/ mass of DNA |
| What is an example of an Euglenazoan? | trypanosoma |
| What does trypanosoma cause? | African sleeping sickness |
