Are the organisms in Kingdom Protista eukaryotic or Prokaryotic? | They are all eukaryotic |
What two main groups are kingdom Protista divided into? | It is divided into subkingdom Protozoa and Subkingdom Algae |
Are protozoa heterotrophic or autotrophic? | They are heterotrophic |
Are algae heterotrophic or autotrophic? | They are autotrophic |
What are the four major phyla in subkingdom Protozoa? | Phylum Mastigophora, phylum Sarcodina, phylum Ciliophora, phylum Sporozoa |
What are the five major phyla in subkingdom Algae? | Phylum Chlorophyta, phylum Chrysophyta, phylum Pyrrophyta, phylum Phaeophyta, phylum Rhodophyta |
What is the locomotion method of Phylum Sarcodina? | Pseudopods |
What is the locomotion method of Phylum Mastigophora? | Flagellum |
What is the locomotion method of phylum Sporozoa? | None. |
What is the locomotion method of phylum Ciliophora? | Cilia |
What is the habitat, organization, and cell wall of phylum Chlorophyta? | Habitat: Fresh water; organization: Single celled; Cell wall: Cellulose |
What is the habitat, organization, and cell wall of phylum Chysophyta? | Habitat: Marine and fresh water; Organization: single cells, some colonies; cell walls: Silicon dioxide |
What is the habitat, organization, and cell wall of phylum Pyrrophyta? | Habitat: Marine; Organization: Single cells; Cell walls: Cellulose or atypical |
What is the habitat, organization, and cell wall of phylum Phaeophytal? | Habitat: Cold marine waters; Organization: Multipule cells; Cell Walls: Cellulose and alginic acid |
What is the habitat, organization, and cell wall of phylum Rhodophyta? | Habitat: Warm marine waters; Organization: Multiple cells; Cell Wall: Cellulose |
What is a pseudopod? | A temporary, foot-like extension of a cell, used of locomotion or engulfing food |
What are the parts of Amoeba Proteus (member of phylum Sarcindina)? | Pseudopod, nucleus, contractile vacuole, food vacuole |
What is the nucleus? | The region of a eukaryotic cell that contains the cell's main DNA |
What is the Vacuole? | A membrane-bounded "sac" within a cell |
What are the two types of vacuoles? | Food vacuole and contractile vacuoles |
What is the purpose of the contractile vacuoles? | It removes excess water and reduces pressure |
What is the purpose of the food vacuole? | It hold and stores food while it is being digested |
What is the ectoplasm? | The thin, watery cytoplasm near the plasma membrane of some cells |
What is the endoplasm? | The dense cytoplasm found in the interior of many cells |
What is a flagellate? | A protozoa that propels itself with a flagellum |
What are the parts to a typical Euglena? | Pellicle, chloroplast, nucleus, contractile vacuole, flagellum, eyespot |
What is a pellicle? | A firm, flexible coating outside the plasma membrane |
What is the purpose of the pellicle? | retains cells shape |
What is the purpose of the chloroplast? | An organelle containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis |
What is the purpose of the eyespot? | Detects light |
What is the purpose of the cilia | used for locomotion |
What is the purpose of the oral groove? | Food intake and conjugation |
What is a chloroplast? | An organelle containing chlorophylle for photosynthesis |
What is a chlorophyll? | A pigment necessary for photosynthesis |
Do Euglenas produce sexually or asexually? | Asexually |
How do euglena obtain food? | They can either live on dead remains of other organisms or can produce its own food by photosynthesis |
What is Symbiosis? | A close relationship between two pr more species where at least one benefits |
What is Mutualism? | A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where all benefit from the association |
What is commensalism? | A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited |
What is parasitism? | A relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed |
What are the types of symbiosis? | Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism |
What are the parts of a Paramecium? | Cilia, micronucleus, macronucleus, contractile vacuole, food vacuole, gullet, oral groove, oral pore |
What is the cilia? | Hair-like projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion |
Why does the paramecium need do nucleus? | This paramecium require a large amount of energy to live, mostly because of the rapid movement of their cilia. |
What is the difference between the micronucleus and macrocnucleus? | Macronucleus controls metabolism and the micronucleus controls reproduction |
What is a spore? | A reproductive cell with a hard, protective coating |
What disease does Genus Plasmodium cause? | Malaria |
What is a Plankton? | Tiny organisms that float in the water |
What are Zooplankton? | Tiny floating organisms that are either that are either small animals or protozoa |
What are Phytoplankton? | Tiny floating photosynthetic organisms, primarily algae |
What is a colony of algae often referred to as? | Thallus |
What is a thallus? | The body of a plant-like organism that is not divided into leaves, roots, or stems |
What is an algal bloom? | When algae reproduce so rapidly that they essentially take over their habitat making the water appear the same color as the algae themselves. |
What is a cellulose? | A substance (made of sugars) that is common in the cell walls of many organisms |
What are diatoms? | The phylum that contain more that 1,000 different species |
What are diatoms's cell walls composed of? | Silicon dioxide |
What are holdfasts? | A special structure used by an organism to anchor itself |
What is a Sessile colony? | A colony that uses holdfast to anchor itself to an object |
What are the species in genus Fucus called? | It is called rocked |
What are the members of Phylum Rhodophyte often referred to as? | Red algae |
