things i dont know

QuestionAnswer
Paraphyletic Clade Share a common ancestor but exclude some descendants
Polyphyletic Clade unrelated organisms that don’t share a recent common ancestor
Amoeboid Protozoa SOFT heterotroph with pseudops, phagocytosis
The symbiont lives in the gut of termites and enables the host to digest wood Parabasalid Hypermastigote
Endosymbiosis Cell engulfs another cell
Endosymbiont Theory Eukaryote engulfs prokaryote, prokaryote becomes organelles like chloroplast or mitochondria
Secondary Endosymbiosis Eukaryote engulfs eukaryote
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain these two things associated with their membrane Ribosomes and circular dna
Mitochondria and chloroplasts differ from other eukaryotic organelles in that they have a _____ ______. Double membrane
In endosymbiosis, the engulfed cell is called the ______. endosymbiont, or symbiont
In endosymbiosis, the cell containing the engulfed cell is called the ______. host
Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a splitting process similar to which group of organisms? Bacteria
Spores reproductive cell that can grow into a new organism by itself and is a haploid
Gamete sex cell that must fuse with another gamete to form another organism, is haploid
In terms of size, reaction to antibiotics, and RNA sequences, the ribosomes of mitochondria and plastids are more similar to ______ ribosomes. Bacterial
Mitochondria likely evolved from ______. Alpha proteobacteria
The nucleomorph is a piece of evidence for ______. Secondary endosymbiosis
In serial endosymbiosis, the first symbiont would be a ___ Mitochondria
This may be a cause for increasing antibiotic resistance: ______. Biofilms (protect bacteria from antibiotics, making infections harder to treat)
Ecology How organisms function in nature
Trypanosome needs a vector, is a parasite, is flagellated, and causes sleeping sickness or Chagas disease.
This organism caused the Irish potato famine. Phytophthora Infestans
Caused sudden oak death Phytophthora ramorum
This organism uses cilia to move, has a micro- and macronucleus, and runs conjugation, where the parent becomes the offspring Ciliates
This group has 4 membranes, is flagellated, and has plates made of cellulose. Dinoflagellates
This organism causes fish death, is carnivorous, and can bioluminesce. Pfiesteria piscicida/shumwayae
This disease is caused by feces from cats; pregnant women can pass it to their offspring. Toxoplasmosis
heterotroph with pseudopods and performs phagocytosis. STIFF shell Actinopoda
Have silica shells, fossil remains from chert (flint) radiolarians
This organism has a chalk shell and produces forams. Foraminifera
red algae that is used to make agar. Rhodophyta
This organism causes dysentery Entamoeba histolytica
This organism is part fungus and animal, and they are decomposers and slime molds Mycetozoa
This organism is a heterotroph, flagellated, colonial, and is similar to sponges. Choanoflagellates
A life cycle dominated by the 2n phase, with meiosis occurring during gamete formation, is called ______. Diplontic
A life cycle dominated by the n phase, with meiosis occurring in the zygote, is called ______. Haplontic
Primary producer among protists algae
The heterotrophic protists that eat the primary producers are called ______. Protozoa
An obligate anaerobe that oxidizes hydrogen gas and produces methane (“swamp gas”) is called a ______. Methanogens (archaea)
This organism oxidizes sulfur near deep-sea vents. Sulfolobus
three main sexually transmitted diseases are ______, ______, and ______. gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis
The six main metabolisms from the slideshow are Chemoautotrophs Photoautotrophs Chemoheterotophs Photoheterotrophs Mixotrophs Extremophiles
The four characteristics of prokaryotes that enable them to thrive and reproduce are: ______, ______, ______, ______. Reproduction Nutrition Mutations Evolution
Secondary endosymbiosis Three membranes
Chloroplast and mitochondria two membranes
Diatoms, Chrysophyta, Phaephyta plastids with 3 membranes
Dinoflagellates plastids with 4 membrane
Chlorophyta plastids with 2 membrane
Protist body structure Unicellular (single celled organism) Colonial (group of cells live together, limited specialization) Multicellular (Multiple cells w some differentiation,not complex)
Protist locomotion Cilia (short, hairy-like structures that help mvmt and fding Flagella (long, whip-like structures, NOT homologous w prokaryotes) Pseudopia (cytoplasmic extensions used for mvmt, engulf food) Passive/non-motile: some protists rely on currents/stationary
Protist reproduction Asexual (most common, occurs by mitosis) Sexual (when organism experiences environmental stress, forms cyst to help it survive unfavorable conditions)
The three modes of nutrition for protists and examples: Photosynthetic: make their own food using light → algae Heterotrophic: consume other organisms → protozoa Mixotrophic: combine photosynthesis and heterotrophy → some plankton (zoo- or phytoplankto
Why is there not a clear relationship between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? Horizontal gene transfer makes it hard to trace relationships: Transduction: viruses (phages) transfer DNA Conjugation: DNA/plasmids pass through pili Too much variation exists in species, so phylogenetic trees are confusing
Why are protist groups constantly changing? What makes them different? Protists are a waste-basket taxon → no clear monophyletic grouping High variation among species Classification changes as science and phylogenetics evolve

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
