| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How diverse is the Kingdom Protista? | 200,000-500,000 different types. |
| What are Lumpers? | Prefer to minimize the # of species by emphasizing on differences. |
| What are Splitters? | Prefer to maximize the # of species by emphasizing on differences. |
| What are the 3 Major groups of Protistas? | Algea, Protozoans, and Slime molds. |
| Algea | (refer to brown/red algae). They are important primary producers. Produce 1/2 the Oxygen on earth. |
| Protozoans | Single celled heterotrophs. |
| What are the four levels of organisms? | Unicellular - single celled Filamentous - chain of cells Colonial - group of cells in sheets Multicellular - cell specialization (3D) |
| What is Chemotaxis? | movement toward a chemical stimulant. |
| Phylum Euglenozoa includes what groups? | Eugloids and Kinetaplastids |
| The phylum Alveolata includes what groups? | Dinoflagellates, Apicomplexons, and Ciltaes. |
| The Phylum Stramenopila includes what groups? | Brown algae and Diotoms |
| They Phylum Rhodophyta includes what groups? | Red Algae |
| The Phylum Rhizoda includes what groups? | Amoebas |
| Describe Euglenoids | Unicellular, Live in Freshwater, are Heteroautotrophs. Have an eyespot. Have a Pellicle. have 2 Flagellas |
| What is a Pellicle? | flexible outer coating |
| Describe Kinetoplastids | Have at least 1 Flagella. ex. Trypanosoma (African Sleep) ex. Trychonympha (Termite Bacteria) |
| Describe Dinoflagellates | Unicellular, Are marine and freshwater organisms. *produce red tide during population explosions. *live with sponges, corals. and octopuses. |
| Describe Apicomplexans | Unicellular, heterotrophic, are Parasites. ex. Plasmodium (causes malaria) |
| Describe Cilates | Unicellular and Heterotrophic. Have 2 nuclei. ex. Paramecium (lives in Freshwater) Contain a large number of cilia. |
| Describe Brown Algae | Small to Big. ex. Fucus. (Diplonic life cycle *same as humans) |
| Describe Diatoms | unicellular, colonial autotrophs. Are primary consumers. cell wall is made up of silicon dioxide (glass) *have bilateral symetry |
| Describe Reg Algae | Found in warm marine tropics. Pigment is Phyeobillines. Absotbs green and blue light. |
| Describe Amoebas | Unicellular, heterotrophic. Can be parasites. |
