| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Excavata synapomorphies | feeding groove loss of mitochondria in some |
| Rhizaria synapomorphies | no cell wall thread like pseudopodia elaborate 'shells' |
| some Alveolata are capable of | biolumenscence |
| Stramenpila synapomorphies | flagella with hair-like projections |
| Toxoplasmosis | Alveolata Cat poo fecal oocysts -food/pigcat-human neurological or muscular |
| Red Tides | Alveolata Dinoflagellates deplete oxygen, neurotoxins contaminate shellfish humans-neuro, speech, limb function |
| Malaria | Alveolata, plasmodium sp. mosquito saliva, infect liver and then blood cells, bursting flu-like symptons, diarrhea |
| Giardia | Excavata freshwater big time diarrhea |
| Brain Eating Amoeba | Excavata Water gets up nose into brain |
| African Sleeping sickness | Excavata-(Trypanosoma) tsetse fly bites fever-neuro-death |
| Chagas disease | Excavata kissing bug swelling of eyes or lips heart infection up to 30 years later |
| Leishmaniasis | Excavata sandfly saliva infect blood of mammals and then more insects |
| 3 types of leishmaniasis | cutaneous (skin) visceral(liver) mucocutaneous (mucus membrane) |
| non vascular plants are | ex. mosses gametophyte dominant |
| seedless non-vascular plants are | ex. ferns sporophyte dominant |
| seed plants | ex. gymnosperm and angiosperm sporophyte dominant conifers, cycads, gnetophytes, ginkophytes |
| 5 major obstacles to life on land: | 1. control water loss 2. intense sunlight (UV) 3. growing upright despite gravity 4. reproducing without water 5. moving around |
| all (angio, gymno, monilophytes, mosses) control water loss with | cuticle, gas exchange and water control with guard cells on spores and stomata spores with sporopollenin |
| sporopollenin | coats spores and pollen and protects from drying out |
| Flavonoids | absorb UV radiation and protect DNA, also used for pigment |
| the first land plants were | mosses |
| monilophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms grow upright with | vascular tissue |
| monilophytes have vascular tissue and | lignin |
| angiosperms have vascular tissue and | vessel elements |
| moss gamete container, female and male houses? | gametangia archegonia antheridia |
| how do moss 'move around' | spores blow in the wind |
| four main synapomorphies of land plants | cuticle, alternation of generations, flavonoids, stomata with guard cells |
| gymno and angiosperms reproduce without water using | pollen tube |
| angiosperms 'move around' when | animals move pollen and fruit/seeds |
| gymnosperms 'move around' when | microspores(pollen) blows in the wind |
| differentiate between tracheids and vessel elements | tracheids have gaps in end through only secondary wall(lignin) vessel elements have gaps in end through lignin and cellulose walls |
| xylem | water |
| phloem | sugar |
| homospory | ferns spores make a gametophyte that produces both eggs and sperm |
| heterospory | pince tree produces microscpore/male gametophyte/pollen AND megaspore/female/ ovules |
| ovule contain | megasporangia contain mother cell(n) |
| three parts of seed | embryo(2n) nutritive tissue seed coat |
| cycads | dioecious large compound megaphylls |
| ginkos | dichotemously branching leaves dioecious no cones fleshy seeds |
| conifers | monoecious male cones and female cones same tree |
| gnetophytes | stupid looking long leaves Dioecious in common with angiosperms: vessel elements and double fertilization |
| all gymnosperm have | pollen vascular tissue |
| angiosperms synapomorphy | vascular tissue, fruit |
| monocots | straight veins, petals x3 |
| eudicots | branching veins, petals x4 or x5 |
| in double fertilization | pollen tube grows down style and 2 sperm cells go, one fertilizes egg and forms zygote, the other creates 3n endosperm (nutritive tissue) |
| ovary becomes | fruit |
| ovules become | seeds |
| trends in plant evolution | sporophyte dominance, cuticle, flavonoids, reproduction without water, more efficient dispersal, tracheids-vessel elements |
| Besides Giardia, who has two nuclei | Paramecium (two diff sizes) Plasmodial slime mold(millions) Ciliates(two diff sizes) (All Alveolates) |
| Euk Synapomorphies | Membrane Bound Nucleus Membrane bound organelles More than one chromosome, Linear |
| Profilin | essential for complex cell structure and dynamics in eukaryotes- found in Asgard Archaea big deal |
| what hypothesis explains the presence of mitochondria in eukarya | endosymbiosis hypothesis |
| explain endosymbiosis hypothesis | Asgard Archaean engulfed a bacteria the bacteria gave host cell atp and the host cell gave bacteria carbon and protection |
| which features of the mitochondria support the idea that it came from an engulfed bacterium? | the mitochondria replicates by fission, has its own circular DNA |
| Mitochondrial DNA is closely related to | a-proteobacteria |
| Evidence of Chloroplasts in Plantae coming from bacteria | replicate by fission singular circular DNA bound by double membrane genome similar to cyanobacteria |
| 5 major innovations of Eukaryotic cells | Multicelularity diverse cell supports Ingestion of food Sexual reproduction- red queen, changing environment Ploidy levels Mitosis and Meiosis New modes of Movement |
| Red Queen hypothesis | sexual reproduction creates more diversity in a species, increases the chance of surviving parasites, predators |
| Changing Environment hypothesis | Sexual reproduction is favored because it creates genetic variation, which helps populations adapt to unpredictable or changing environments |
| Ploidy levels across domains? | Bac and arch are haploid Euk can be all three |
| motility in bacteria and archaea? | swimming and gliding are common, or nonmotile |
| foraminiferans are | rhizarians with outsides made of CaCO3 |
| radiolarians are | rhizarians with outside made of silica |
| water molds are in what clade | stramenopila (flagella w/ "hairs") |
| Name Bikonta lineages | SARPE |
| Name Unikonta Lineages | OA |
| Name bikonta lineages with major parasites | Alveolata and excavata |
| What single celled eukaryote causes Malaria? which clade? what human cells are affected? | Plasmodium, Alveolata, liver cells- blood |
| what feature defines plantae? | chloroplasts via 1st degree endosymbiosis |
| who has gametangia? | Moss, ferns, gymnosperms |
| Do flowers have gametangia? | No |
| Plants and algae with chloroplasts fix atmospheric CO2 through | photosynthesis |
| homospory | (one-spore). sporophyte produces one spore type, spore will develop into gametophyte with both sex gametes ex. ferns and mosses |
| monoecious | male and female reproductive structures are on one plant |
| who is responsible for sudden oak death and irish potato blight | stramenopila |
| Is pine tree heterosporous or homosporous | heterosporous (producing two types of spores: large female megaspores and small male microspores) |
| Is pine tree monoecious or dioecious | monoecious (having male and female reproductive parts on the same individual plant) |
| whats larger, the megaspore or the female gametophyte or the egg | megaspore includes the female gametophyte which forms eggs |
| order: microspores, pollen, male gametophyte | Stamens produce and hold the microspores, which become pollen(which contains the male gametophyte) |
| Do angiosperms have gametangia | No, the gametophyte is made inside the spore Male gametophyte = pollen grain āā makes sperm inside itself (no antheridia) |
