Term
Is algae euk or prok
Definition
euk
Term
how does algae make energy?
Definition
oxygenic photosynthesis (contains chlorophyll)
Term
what type of microorganisms are algae?
Definition
unicellular or colonial
Term
TF algae are phylogenetically homogenous
Definition
F: phylogenetically heterogeneous
Term
What do chlorophyll produce?
Definition
oxygen
Term
What algae is related to green plats?
Definition
green and red
Term
What are distoms?
Definition
brown algae
Term
What are euglenoids related to?
Definition
flagellated protozoa
Term
what are dinoflagellates?
Definition
related to ciliated protozoa
Term
what is cyanobacteria
Definition
not euk, they used to think they were algae because they were so large, but realized that they were proks
Term
How did Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta get a chloroplast?
Definition
- ate the cyano
- made a food vesicle, but they cyanobacteria maintained itself
- over time, the relationship became so integrated
- the new one has two membranes, one from the cyanobacteria and one from the
- Chloroplast has two membranes ***
Term
how did diatoms acquire a chloroplast?
Definition
phagocytosis - it went into the rough ER and formed a super close relationship
Term
How did protozoa acquire chloroplasts?
Definition
eaten but survives -- but done independently from the other two examples
Term
Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta: what type of cell are they?
Definition
eukaryotic, unicellular, or thallophytes
Term
Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta: how do they produce energy?
Definition
photosynthesis
Term
Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta: What is the primary photosynthetic pigment?
Definition
chlorophyll
Term
Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta: What type of producer do they function as?
Definition
primary producers - they depend on light because they capture the energy from the sun and turn it into carbohydrates
Term
Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta: which have flagella?
Definition
chlorophytes
Term
Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta: what two things do they have? (protects the cell and the brain-age)
Definition
cell walls and nuclei
Term
Chlorophyta & Rhodophyta: what is the structure and location of the chloroplasts?
Definition
double membrane and free in the cytoplasm
Term
Chlorophyta storage products
Definition
-starch inside chloroplast
Term
Rhodophyta storage product
Definition
Floridean starch outside chloroplast
Term
What do you find within chloroplasts
Definition
starch
Term
Where do you find chlorophyta
Definition
90% in freshwater and 10% in marine
Term
What is the major polysaccharide of the cell wall?
Definition
cellulose
Term
Chlorophyta: warm climate
Definition
cosmopolitan
Term
Chlorophyta: Movement is by ___ and ____
Definition
flagella and mucilage secretion
Term
Where do you find the eyespot in Chlorophyta?
Definition
chloroplast (it is usually orange and undergoes phototaxis) it tells the flagella to move toward the light
Term
phototaxis
Definition
movement toward the light
Term
What is one of the oldest groups of euk algae?
Definition
thodophyta
Term
What cells lack flaggelation?
Definition
rhodophyta
Term
Does rhodophyta have many univellular forms?
Definition
no
Term
What % of rhodophyta is marine?
Definition
97
Term
What type of rhodophyta do you find in cool-temperate places?
Definition
large macroforms
Term
What type of rhodophyta do you find in tropical places?
Definition
small filamentous forms
Term
what are the cell walls of rhodophyta
Definition
amorphous mucilage between cellulose fibers?
Term
What are the chloroplasts of rhodophyta?
Definition
usually star-shaped, some discoid
Term
What are the complimentary chromatic adaptation of rhodophyta for orange and green light?
Definition
orange/red: long wavelength
green light: short-wavelength pigments
Term
What allows growth at low-light levels in rhodophyta?
Definition
complimentary chromatic adaptation
Term
What are diatoms?
Definition
stramenopiles
Term
Are diatoms multicellular or unicellular?
Definition
unicellular, sometimes colonial
Term
What are free-living photosynthetic autotrophs? ( some colorless heterotrophs)
Definition
diatoms
Term
Where is the nucleus in the diatom?
Definition
central in the cytoplasm
Term
Where are chloroplasts in the diatoms
Definition
inside the rough ER, NOT free in the cytoplasm
Term
What is the outer cell structure of the diatoms
Definition
Two -part frustule (the hard and porous cell wall or external layer of diatoms) it is like a petri dish, the girdle holds valves together
Term
What is the major component of open-water marine flora?
