What are the two kinds of heterotrophs?
Saprozoic and Holozoic
26
How does a saprozoic heterotroph acquire its nutrients?
It absorbs its nutrients
27
How does a holozoic heterotroph acquire its nutrients?
It ingests its nutrients
28
What are the characteristics of the phylum Ciliophora?
Move by cilia Have a pellicle Have trichocysts Have an oral groove Have two types of nuclei They reproduce by means of fission and conjugation
29
What are cilia?
They are hair-like structures for movement
30
What is "pellicle" on a paramecium?
It's the flexible outer covering
31
What are trichocysts?
Discharge filaments for trapping prey
32
What is the oral groove's function?
For the intake of food
33
What are the two types of nuclei?
MICROnuclei | MACROnuclei
34
What is the micronuclei used for?
The micronuclei is used for reproduction
35
What is the macronuclei used for?
The macronuclei are used for cell metabolism and growt
36
How do organisms from the phyla "Ciliophora" reproduce?
They reproduce by fission and conjugation
37
What do organisms from the phyla "Ciliophora" use for movement?
CILIA
38
What are some characteristics of organisms from the phyla "Apicomplexa"?
They have no locomotive structures The only way that they can move or transmit is through "vectors" They are totally parasitic They often live in two hosts during their life cycle
39
What are vectors?
Carriers used to transmit
40
What is the representative from the phylum "Apicomplexa" discussed in the note taker?
Plasmodium
41
What does plasmodium cause?
Malaria
42
What are some characteristics of organisms from the phylum "Dinoflagellata" ?
They are mostly unicellular and some colonial Their shells are made of cellulose plates They have two flagella They have "sulcus" and "girdle" grooves They usually are photosynthetic Some are bioluminescent Red Tides and blooms
43
What do "Red Tides" do as a result from the phylum "Dinoflagellata" ?
Red Tides produce a nerve toxin which kills fish. It can also contaminate shellfish and kill humans.
44
What are "Blooms" in respect to the phylum Dinoflagellata?
Blooms are population explosions
45
What are some characteristics from organisms from the phylum "Bacilliariophyta" ?
Their common name is "Diatoms" They have 2 shells Their shells are composed of silica (glass) They have radial, bilateral symmetry They are found in freshwater They are mined for use in insulating, sound proofing, and scouring material
46
What are some characteristics of organisms from the phylum "Euglenophyta"?
They have 1 OR 2 flagella They reproduce by means of "Lonitudinal Binary Fission" They can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic They have an "eyespot" (stigmata) Positive phototaxis
47
What are some characteristics of organisms from the phylum "Chlorophyta"?
They share many common characteristics with land plants They appear in many forms such as single celled, colonial, multinucleated, and filamentous. They are aquatic, terrestrial, symbionts (lichens)
48
"Green Algae" is associated with what phylum?
CHLOROPHYTA
49
What are the representative Green Algae?

52
What is agar?
A food thickener
53
What is carrageenan?
A food additive used to stabilize food, paints, or make-up
54
What are some characteristics of organisms from the phylum "Phaeophyta"?

BLADE AIR BLADDER STIPE HOLDFAST
57
What is the "blade" on a Laminaria?
The "leaflike" structure
58
What is the "stipe" on a Laminaria?
The "stalk" of an algae
59
What is the "holdfast" on a Laminaria?
The structure that anchors the algae to the substrate
60
What is "Fucoxanthin" ?
Yellow brown pigments
61
Describe "air bladders"?
