| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| eukaryotes | specialized group of archaea that acquired a cell nucleus |
| phagocytosis | ability to engulf and digest other cells in digestive vacuoles was an important step |
| lysosomes | digestive vacuoles eventually incorporated digestive enzymes |
| endoplasmic reticulum | a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm |
| golgi apparatus | a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm |
| primary endosymbiosis | one eukaryote engulfed a cyanobacterium |
| secondary and tertiary endosymbiosis | gave rise to chloroplasts in the other photosynthetic eukaryotes |
| alveolates | single-celled with distinctive small cavities beneath cell surface |
| stramenphile | fine, hair-like projects on flagella |
| rhizaria | pseudopods, movement and feeding |
| excavates | feeding groove, no mitochondria |
| amoebozoans | lobe-shaped pseudopods, no shells |
| equal splitting | splitting of one cell into 2; mitosis followed by cytokenesis |
| budding | outgrowth of a new cell from the surface of an old cell |
| sporulation | formation of specialized cells (spores) that can grow into new individuals |
| conjugation | 2 cells exchange genes and go separate ways, exchange micronuclei, not reproduction |
| alternation of generations | Multicellular diploids spore-forming organism gives rise to a multicellular haploid gamete-forming organisms |
| sporophyte | Multicellular diploid generation |
| heteromophric | The generations may be different morphologically |
| isomorphic | The generations have similar morphology |
| sporocytes | Specialize cells in the sporophyte |
| diatoms | single-celled agla which has a cell wall of silica |
| foraminiferans | single-celled Plaktonic animal with a perforated chalky shell |
