Ch. 18 Part 1 Flashcards
(17 cards)
Name the key features of Protista
domain eukarya, unicellular and multicellular, very diverse
nutrition involves photosynthesis, ingestion and reabsorption
reproduction genreally all cell division and sexual processes
ALgae
seaweed, pond scums, fish tank films
in several phyla based on reporductive cell forms
Phylum Chlorophyta
green algae
unicellular, filamentous, netlike tubes, hollow spheres, lettuce-like leaves
found in freshwater lakes, ponds, streams
store food as starch
contain chlorophyll a and b
single nucleus per cell
asexual and sexual reproduction
example of Chlorophyta
Chlamydomonas, Ulothrix, Spirogyra, Oedogonium
Chlamydomonas
in freshwater pools, pair of whiplike flagella, single cup shaped chloroplast, 2 or more vacuoles
Ulothrix
found in dead twigs, rocks
each have single row of cylindrical cells called filament, have holdfast to attach to things
Spirogya
filaments of cylindrical cells, masses in freshwater, wrapped around vacuole, asexual (fragmentation by filament) and sexual (conjugation) reproduction
Acetabularia
single huge cell in mushroom shape
Volvox
colony held in gelatinous material, hollow ball
Phylum Chromophyta
yellow green algae, golden-brown, diatoms, brown algae
2 flagella opposite sides
freshwater and few marine
includes ficoxthamin
Golden brown algae
in plankton of freshwater, carotenoid pigment, motile, photoreceptor on shrot flagellum
Diatoms
fresh and saltwater, unicellualr, look like glass box (95% silica wall), have chlorophyll a, c, c2, and fucoxthamin
Diatom reproduction
asexual: half cells become smaller
sexual: zygotes called auxospores divide at same time, number made equal to proportion of silica available, size restored from asexual reproduction
Brown algae
brown/olive green, large(none uni or colonial), most marine in shallow water, most have thallus that differentiates into holdfast (stipe, blades)
may have gas filled bladder
chlorophyll a, c, fucoxthamin
algin in cell walls
Phylum Rhodophyta
red algae, filamentous, tightly packed in macro structures, deeper than brown algae
has chlorophyll a, sometimes d
Life cycle in Phylum Rhodophyta
three types of thallus structures
male and female gametophyte
unique sporophyte
Phylum Euglenophyta
no cell wall (pellice = plasma)
red eye spot, flagellum, gullet ingests food, includes euglenoids
