Protista Flashcards
(11 cards)
Euglena Cultures
Fill baby food jar 3/4 of the way with distilled water. Drop in 4-8 grains of rice. Put 2.5 mL of Euglena in jar. Keep out of sunlight
Types of Protista
Algae=Plant-like
Protozoans=Animal-like
Slime/water molds=Fungi-like
Slime Mold Dormancies
Sclerotia-Dry
Sporangia-Spores
Setting up a slime mold
Put filter paper in petri dish. Places flakes of oatmeal on paper. Moisten paper and oatmeal with water. Place dry dormant form of slime mold on paper. Seal petri dish with tape.
Protista Movements
Flagella-Move with tail
Cilia-Move with micro hairs
Amoeboid(pseudopoda)fake feet-extends a part of itself and the rest follows
Golden Brown and Yellow Green Algae
Diatoms and Desmids
Cell walls are cilica(glass)-doesn’t break down
Put in gardens, toothpaste, road paint, abrasive cleaners
Dinoflagellate Algae
2 Flagella
Cause Red Tide:Produces toxin,large scale fish death,DONT EAT. Happens in warmer waters
Euglenaphyta Algae
No cell wall Has flagella Has an eyespot Has chlorophyll Can change between auto and heterotrophic
Brown Algae
Large seaweed/kelp
Used in agar
Marine algae
Most is edible
Red Algae
Marine Most are edible Sushi wrap Contain chlorophyll Carageenan(equivalent to agar) Ice cream,pudding,lotion,make up
Green Algae
Largest group
Closest relative to plants(same type of chlorophyll)
Bigger cells than cyanobacteria
