protists
| Protists | characteristics |
|---|---|
| protists | are single-celled eukaryotic organisms |
| flagella | long whip-like structure used for movement |
| cilia | short hair-like projections used for movement |
| endosymbiont hypothesis | states that prokaryotes lived within protists forming a symbiotic relationship |
| symbiotic | a close relationship between two species and at least one of the species benefits from the other |
| pseudopod | projections of cytoplasm, used for movement |
| heterotroph | organisms that can not make its own food, obtains its energy from the food it eats |
| phototrophic autotroph | an organism that makes its own food from light and simple raw materials |
| ciliophora | cilia-bearing protists |
| paramecium | a large organism that is in the phyla ciliphora |
| pellicle | cell membrane and underlying structures of the paramecium |
| zoomastigina | move by using a flagella |
| sporozoa | all of this phyla are considered parasitic |
| sarcodina | move by means of a a psuedopod |
| amebas | are in the phylum sarcodina |
| these protists have chloroplasts | plant-like protists |
| euglenophyta | closely resemble the zoomastigina but have chloroplasts |
| euglena | moves by using a flagella and is part of the euglenophyta phylum |
| pyrrophyta | contain organisms that are luminescent |
| chrysophyta | This phylum contains the algae and diatoms. |
| diatoms | My cell wall is made of silica. |
| Acrasiomycota | cellular slime molds |
| myxomycota | acellular slime molds |
| I have the ablity to form multicellular organims. | acrasiomycota |
| I can form structures know as plasmodia | myxomycota |
| plasmodia | I contain thousands of nuclei enclosed in a multinucleate cell. |
