Questions not def.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What two genera contain organisms with chloroplasts? | Euglena and Spirogyra |
| What is the function of a food vacuole? | It stores the food while it is being digested |
| What is the function of a contractile vacuole? | It regulates the amount of water in the cell |
| what is the difference between Endoplasm and ectoplasm? | Endoplasm is thick but ectoplasm is thin and watery |
| The amoeba and euglena each have different means of locomotion. How are they different? | The amoeba uses pseudopods which it creates by deforming its body, but the euglena uses a flagellum. |
| The amoeba and euglena each have different means of locomotion. How are they simallar? | They both move in like a worm motion to go fast |
| For each the phyla below list the locomotion employed by the organism in that phyla. Sarcodina Mastigophora Ciliophora | Pseudopod, Flagella, and Cilia |
| What are the two main features that separate organisms into phylum Sporozoa? | They have no means of locomotion, and when they reproduce they die and release spores (their offspring) |
| A tapeworm is a parasite that feeds on the nutrient which the host eats, depriving the host of that nutrition. Trichonympha is a mastigophorite that lives in the gut of a termite, helping it break chemicals down. List the types of symbiosis in these. | Tapeworm is parasitism and the other is mutualism |
| Why do the ciliates have two nuclei? What is the purpose? | Ciliates require a lot of energy so they must have two nuclei devoted to metabolism and reproduction |
| What nucleus is used for the metabolism in Ciliates? | Macronucleus |
| What nucleus is used for the reproduction in Ciliates? | Micronucleus |
| Which of the nuclei used in Ciliates is smaller? | The Micronucleus used for reproduction |
| What is the difference between the conjugation that occurs between paramecia and the conjugation that occurs between bacteria? | Paramecia has a mutual exchange of DNA so that each of them gets new DNA. But when bacteria conjugates only one gets new DNA |
| In one group, the organisms form hard shells around themselves when exposed to threating conditions. But if they aren't exposed to these they won't form this shell. The second group has hard shells around them naturally. Which is from Phylum Sporoza? | The second |
| What is unique about the way euglena obtains food? | They use photosynthesis but also obtain food from dead organisms. That makes them both autotrophic and saprophytic. |
| Which Phylum contains the organisms responsible for most of the photosynthesis that occurs on earth? What generic term is used to refer to them? | Phylum Chrysophyta contains the diatoms which is responsible for the photosynthesis. The term used to define them is diatoms. |
| What is the Phylum that food and contractile vacuoles are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Sarcodina |
| What is the Phylum that Flagellum are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Mastigophora |
| What is the Phylum that Pellicle are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Mastigophora |
| What is the Phylum that Chloroplast are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Mastigophora |
| What is the Phylum that Eyespot are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Mastigophora |
| What is the Phylum that Cilia are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Ciliophora |
| What is the Phylum that Nuclei (plural of Nucleus) are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Phyla in Protista |
| What is the Phylum thatOral Groove are in? The Phylums are: Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, Chlysophyta, Chrysophata, Phyrrophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta | Cilisphora |
| What is the function that food and contractile vacuoles have? | Stores food during digestion and regulates water. |
| What is the function that Flagellum have? | Used for Locomotion |
| What is the function that Pellicle have? | Keep the cell in a spindle shape |
| What is the function that Chloroplast have? | Stores chlorophyll |
| What is the function that Eyespot have? | Detects light |
| What is the function that Cilia have? | Used for locomotion |
| What is the function that Nucleus have? | Contains DNA |
| What is the function that Oral Groove have? | Intakes food and used in conjugation |
| What are large deposits of diatom remains called? | Diatomaceous Earth |
| What is a red tide? | It is an algae bloom of dinoflagellates |
| What two phyla principally contain macroscopic algae? | Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta |
| What substance produced by members of phylum Phaeophyta is useful for thickening ice cream, pudding, salad dressing, and jelly beans? | Algin |
