Chap 28: Protist

Prostist

QuestionAnswer
Protist are: Mostly unicellular, but may be colonial or multicellular
Protist are: Eukaryotes
Protist are: Polyphyletic
Protist is a: Kingdom
Protist is considered: anything that's not a fungi, plant or animal
Protist can: carry their own biological functions using sub-organelles.
Protist uniquely has: contractile vacuoles
Nutritionally protist can be: Heterotrophs, phototrophs, or mixotrophs
Protist may reproduce: sexually, asexually, or both.
Protist diversity is thought to be due to: endosymbiosis
a prokaryote is engulfed by a protist and that prokaryote functioned as a Mitochondria inside the protist.
Cyanobacteria were engulfed by eukaryotes and the cyanbacteria became that eukaryotes: plasmid
Secondary endosymbiosis is when: a endosymboint organism is engulfed by another organism and is then used an organelle.
Excavata includes: Diplomonades, Parabasalids, and Euglenozoans
Diplomonades mitochondria is called: Mitosome
Diplomonades mitosome lacks: a functional ETC and cannot use O2(anaerobic) to extract energy.
Diplomonades structurally: contains 2 equal-sized nuclei and has multiple flagella.
Parabasalids mitochondrial name: Hydrogenosome
How does the Parabasalids hyrogenosome generate energy? anaerobically and then it releases H2 (gas) as a by-product.
Euglenozoans Morphological features is: the presence of a spiral pr crystalline rod inside their flagella.
Two best-studied groups of Euglenozoans are: Kinetoplasid and euglenids
Euglenozoans can be (nutritionally): Heteroyroph, phototrophs, and parasitic.
Kinetoplasid has: One large mitochondria that contains an organized mass of DNA called kinetoplast.
Kinetoplasid may feed on: prokaryotes in freshwater, marine, moist terrestrial ecosystems, and parasitize any animal plant or other protist.
Structurally euglenids: has a pocket at one end of the cell from which one or two flagella emerge from.
Euglena are commonly found: in pond water.
Euglena lacks: a cell wall
Euglena (nutritionally) and mostly: Mixtotrophs (they are autotrophic in sunlight and when sunlight is unavailable, euglena are heterotrophic.)
Why are the mitochondria's of diplomonade and parabasalids as "highly reduced" ? Since the mitosome and hydrogenosome does not use their ETC since they are anaerobic.
Chromalveolata is a: Supergroup
Chromalveolata is based on two line of evidence: DNA sequence data suggest that they are monophyletic and that chromaveolata engulfed a single cell photosynthetic red algae (making this process a secondary endosymbiosis)
The two clades of chromaveolata are: Alveolates and stramenopiles
Alveolates monophyly is well supported by: Molecular systematic's
Alveolates structurally has: a membrane bound sac right under the plasma membrane.
Alveolates includes 3 subgroups: dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, and ciliants
dinoflagellates are: a group of flagellates
Apicomplexans are: a group of parasites
Ciliants are: a group of protist that moves with cilia.
Dinoflagellates are characterized by: cells that are reinforced by cellular plates.
dinoflagellates flagella are located: in a perpendicular groove.
dinoflagellate (nutritionally) are: phototroph, heterotroph and mixotroph
dinflagellate "blooms" are caused by: a massive growth of dinoflagellate which then creates "red tides."
Apicomplexans are all nearly: parasites
Apicomplexans parasite spreads through their host as a small infection called: sporozoites
Apicomplexans gets their name because: at one end of the protist it contains a complex organelle that specializes in penetrating its host cells/tissue.
Apicomplexans are not: photosynthetic
Apicoplexans are both: sexual and asexual
Apicoplexans usually need two different: host
A good example of apicoplexan is: malaria
Ciliates uses ______ to move and feed Cilia
Ciliates has 2 types of nuclei: tiny nuclei and large macro nuclei
Ciliates genetic variation through: conjugation
conjugation: is a sexual process in which two individuals exchange haploid micro nuclei.
Ciliates generally reproduce: asexually through binary fission.
During binary fission in ciliates: the existing macro-nuclei disintegrates and a new one is formed from the cells micro-nuclei.
Ciliates macro-nuclei contains: several copies of the ciliates genome.
Genes in the ciliates macro-nucleus controls: every functions (such as feeding, waste removal and maintaining a water balance.)
Stramenophiles features include: many hair-like flagella
Stramenophiles are a group of: marine algae
Stramenophile includes the clades: diatoms, golden algae, brown algae and Oomycetes
Diatoms are ____ unicellular
diatoms features: a unique glass-like wall made of hydrated silica. (it's embedded in its organic matrix)
Diatoms walls consist of: two parts that overlaps each other; this provides an effective way to protect itself from crushing jaws of predators.
Diatoms can withstand high pressure due to their: delicate lacework of holes and grooves.
Diatoms sexual reproductions only occurs when: a cyst forms (which is rare)
Diatoms are a major components of plankton in both: lake and oceans.
Diatom is stored in the form of: a glucose polymer called laminarin
When diatoms bloom and die instead of being eaten: sink to the ocean floor, and the carbon in their bodies are is not returned to the air. This could possibly help reduce global warming.
Golden algae appear gold due to their: gold and brown carotenoids
Golden algae structurally are: biflagellate (with one flagellum at each end
golden algae could be: unicellular or colonial
which algae is the largest and most complex? Brown algae
All brown algae are: multicellular
Most common in temperate (cool) coastal waters: Brown algae
brown algae owes their(olive/brown) colors to their: carotenoids in the plastids
brown algae are commonly called: seaweed
brown algae are analogous to: land plants
thallus: algal body that is plantlike.
Thallus lacks: true roots, steams and leaves
Holdfast= Root-like
Stipe= stem-like
blades= leave-like
Most of the brown alga's photosynthetic surface is on it's: blade
Helps blades of brown algae to stay above surface: gas-filled, bubbled-shaped floats.
brown algae's cell wall is composed of: cellulose + gel forming polysaccharide.
is used to thicken foods: brown algae
Oomycetes structurally has: hyphae, cell walls made up of cellulose no longer has plastid(but ancestors did)
Oomycetes (nutritionally) are not: photosynthetic
Oomycetes are (nutritionally) are: decomposers and parasites
