Lesson 54

Animal-Like Protists

QuestionAnswer
Mastigophora group of animal-like protists that are commonly known as flagellates and move by their flagella, an example is trypanosoma
Sarcodina group of animal-like protists that are commonly known as sarcodines, they move by pseudopods (false feet) and an example is the amoeba
Ciliophora group of animal-like protists that are commonly known as ciliates, move by using their cilia, and an example is a paramecium
Sporozoa group of animal-like protists that are commonly known as sporozoans, they do not move, an example is a plasmodium
Flagellates type of protists that are characterized by their specialized flagella
Autotrophs organisms that use nonliving energy sources, usually chemical or light, to create and store their own energy, mainly through photosynthesis
Heterotrophs organisms that depend upon organic compounds produced by autotrophic organisms for their source of energy, we are examples of this group
Pseudopods extensions from the cytoplasm of some protozoa, which are used for feeding and locomotion
Sarcodine type of protist that is characterized by its lack of rigidity, allowing it to change shape freely
Phagocytosis process of feeding in which the cell’s protoplasm surrounds a food source and encloses it in a food vacuole where it is digested
Axopods needle-like pseudopodium present in some types of sarcodines
Ciliates type of protist characterized by numerous cilia and trichocysts
Cilia hair-like structures used by ciliates for locomotion and feeding
Trichocysts specialized organelle that ciliates use to anchor themselves and to capture and/ or immobilize food
Conjugation reproductive process that takes place in many microscopic organisms, mainly protists and fungi
Sporozoa parasitic protozoa that cause numerous diseases in animals, including humans
