Protists
Exam 2 Dr. Weber Ecology and Evolution
| Protists | all eukaryotes that aren't fungi, animals, or plants |
| All eukaryotes today have? | Either mitochondria or genes normally found in mitochondria. A nucleus and endomembrane system. A cytoskeleton |
| Morphological features can be useful for _ _ of protists. Most of this work is done via microscopy | distinguishing groups |
| Molecular data is useful for _ _ _ among eukaryote, including protists | estimating evolutionary relationships |
| There are how many monophyletic groups? | 7 |
| Much of eukaryotic diversity is found where? | Protists |
| Endosymbiosis theory | 1) host cell surrounds and engulfs bacteria 2) bacterium lives within host cell 3) endosymbiosis: host cell supplies bacteria with protection and carbon compounds. Bacterium supplies host cells with ATP |
| Mitochondria | Are similar in size to a-proteobacteria. Replicate by fission. Have their own ribosomes and manufacture their own proteins. Have double membranes. Gave their own genomes. Gene sequences closely match sequences closely match sequences from a-proteobacteria |
| Secondary endosymbiosis | 1) Photosynthetic protists in engulfed 2) Nucleus from photosynthetic protists is lost 3) Organelle has 4 membranes |
| Primary endosymbiosis | All species in the plantae have chloroplast with 2 membranes. Most likely, the primary endosymbiotic event occurred in their common ancestor. Chloroplasts also occur in 4 of the other major lineages of protists. |
| Origin of the nuclear envelope | 1) Infoldings of plasma membrane surround the chromosomes. 2) Eukaryotic cell arises, with infoldings forming nuclear envelope an ER |
| Protists have innovative structures for what? | support and protection |
| What has evolved numerous times and in numerous lineages of eukaryotes | multicellularity |
| Protists can reproduce sexually, asexually, or both true or false? | true |
| Eukaryotes are not the only plants to reproduce sexually true or false? | false |
| Miosis | sexual reproduction |
| Mitosis | asexual reproduction. makes more of the same |
| _ introduced a new event in life cycles and distinct haploid vs diploid phases | Meiosis |
