Q

Kinetoplastids

A

Have a single mitochondrion with an organized mass of DNA called a kinetoplast

22
Q

Euglenids

A

have one or two flagella that emerge from a pocket at one end of the cell

23
Q

Chromalveolata

A

Clade is monophyletic and originated by a secondary endosymbiosis event
includes alveolate and stramenopiles

24
Q

What is in clade chromalveolata

A

alveolate and stramenopiles

25
Superphylum alveolata
protists, have membrane-bounded sacs (alveoli) just under the plasma membrane includes the dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, and ciliates
26
what is in the super phylum alveolata
dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, and ciliates
27
Dinoflagellates
aquatic mixotrophs and heterotrophs abundant components of both marine and freshwater plankton Each has characteristic shape that is reinforced by internal plates of cellulose Cause of red tides
28
Apicomplexa
parasites of animals and some cause serious human diseasesApex - contains complex of organelles specialized for penetrating host require two or more different host species
29
What apicomplexan causes malaria
Plasmodium | Requires mosquitoes and humans to complete life cycle
30
Phylum Stramenopila (or Heterokonts)
Diatoms, Golden algae, Brown algae
31
Diatoms
unicellular algae with a unique two-part glass-like was of hydrated silica
32
Golden algae
unicellular (some colonial), named for their color which results from their yellow and brown carotenoids
33
Brown algae
the largest and most complex algae all are multicellular most are marine include seaweeds
34
Components of brown algae
thallus, holdfast, stipe, and blades
35
thallus
the algal body that is plantlike but lacks true roots, stems, and leaves
36
holdfast
rootlike, anchors the stipe
37
stipe
supports the blades
38
blades
leaflike
39
alternation of generations
the alternation of multicellular haploid and diploid forms
40
heteromorphic generations
structurally different
41
Isomorphic generations
Look similar
42
Rhizaria
monophyletic clade Amoebas include forms and radiolarians Have hard shells called tests
43
Supergroup Archaeplastida
in Rhizaria | includes red algae, green algae, and land plants
44
what is included in archaeplastida
red algae, green algae, and land plants
45
land plants descended from
green algae
46
Red algae
reddish in color due to an accessory pigment called phycoerythrin which masks the green of chlorophyll Usually multicellular seaweeds
47
Green algae
grass-green chloroplasts
48
two main groups of green algae
chlorophytes and charophyceans
49
where do chlorophytes live
in fresh water, although many are marine. Others live in damp soil, as symbionts in lichens or in snow
50
Unikonts
supergroup of eukaryotes | includes animals, fungi, and Closely related eukaryotes
51
Clade Amoebozoans
clade of Unikonts well supported Amoebas and slime molds
52
Tow kinds of slime molds
plasmodial and cellular
