Term
Kingdom Protist
Definition
organisms in this kingdom are all eukaryotes and most are single-celled for most of their life-cycle
Term
Nucleus (with a double membrane)
Organelles
2 or more chromosomes (DNA+proteins)
Definition
eukaryotic differences
Term
they are clearly different from the Bacteria and Archaea
Definition
Since the organisms fo the kingdom Protista are eukaryotic,_______
Term
not very clear.
Definition
The differences between the protists and the rest of the eukaryotes are____
Term
Plant-like autotrophs (photosynthetic)
Fungus-like heterotrophs (decomposers)
Animal-like heterotrophs (hunters and symbiotic)
Definition
Protists can be organized into three general groups...
Term
Protozoan
Definition
Animal-like protist heterotroph which actively seeks and injests their food
Term
flagellated protozoan
Definition
type of protozoan that can be free-living or symbiotic and has mechanism for movement
Term
parasitic
Definition
the group of symbiotic flagellated protozoans including kinetoplastids, parabasilids, and diplomonads
Term
Trypanosoma
Definition
kinetoplastid that causes anemia by feeding on red blood cells
Term
Trichomanas
Definition
Parabasilid that causes sicknesses spread through uncooked pork
Term
Giardia
Definition
diplomonad that causes diarrhea, etc. by living in untreated drinking water
Term
amoebae (amoeboid protozoans)
Definition
moves in blob like fashion with no visible special structures for movement, use pseodopods to move and eat food. Very active
Term
pseodopods
Definition
what amoebae use to engulf food and move
Term
rhizopods
Definition
type of amoeboid protozoans that includes naked amoebas and amoebaes with protective shells
Term
naked (no covering) amoebas
Definition
type of rhizopod that is mostly free living though some can be parasitic (causes amoebic dysentery through infected drinking water)
Term
foraminiferans or forams
Definition
rhizopod that makes CaCO3 shells
Term
actinopods
Definition
type of amoeboid protozoan that includes amoebas with glas-like silica protective shells. Includes radiolarians and heliozoans. Often found w/phytoplankton and that's why they were originally grouped w/plants.
Term
phytoplankton
Definition
the photosynthetic eukaryotes at the base of most aquatic food webs
Term
cilates
Definition
type of protozoan: most species are solitary freshwater; have aveoli for membrane support; use cilia for movement and feeding
Term
cilia
Definition
short hair-like filaments that are made of protein. May be a uniform covering of the organism or can be localized in patches
Term
ciliates
Definition
most complex of the protozoa with an internal structure that includes an oral groove, an anal pore, a contractile cavuole, and tow types of nuclei.
Term
contractile vacuole
Definition
manages water balance in organisms
Term
macronucleus
Definition
the type of nuclei in ciliates that handles all the day-to-day business
Term
micronucleus
Definition
nucleus that functions in sexual reproduction in ciliates
Term
they merge and swap micronuclei and then part and do cell division; producing genetically different offspring
Definition
how ciliates sexually reproduce...
Term
sporozoans
Definition
type of protozoan that are all parasites, the least mobile, the only group that produces spores, and has a mobile stage called sprozoite where they produce spores
Term
toxoplasma
Definition
type of sporozoan that vectors through cats and pregnant women
Term
plasmodium
Definition
type of sporozoan that causes malaria
Term
phytoplankton
Definition
protist that is responsible for most of the photosynthesis on the planet
Term
dinoflagellates
Definition
type of phytoplankton; most are marine, have 2 flagella (one at the end and one at the equatorial groove), and may have a cellulose wall. Includes algal blooms
Term
algal blooms
Definition
type of dinoflagellate that is responsible for red tides b/c toxin they produce makes fish's gills not work
Term
stramenopiles
Definition
type of phytoplankton that includes chrysophytes and brown algae
Term
chrysophytes
Definition
type of stramenopile that includes golden algae, yellow-green algae, diatoms, and coccolithophores. They may be freshwater or marine, have glass-like shells with holes to allow for exchange of substances.
Term
brown algae
Definition
type of strenopile that is marine,lives in deep to tidal water, has brown coloring due to accessory pigments, their cell wall has adapted to polysaccharides, make giant kelp forests, have gas bladders to keep the plant extending toward the surface
Term
oomycotes
Definition
ancestral stramenopiles which are nto photosynthetic and therefore not phytoplankton. Include water molds and downy mildew. Characterized by filamentous bodies and mobile flagellated gametes.
Term
green algae
Definition
type of phytoplankton that has some marine and many freshwater species; unicellular and colony forms, typical chloroplasts, the cell wall only has cellulose, and probably is an ancestor of land plants.
Term
red algae
Definition
type of phytoplankton that in mainly marine, but some fresh water, deep water, coloring from accessory pigments, cell wall has added polysaccharides, is held upright by CaCO3, supports the deep water food web, and is used in cosmetics, ice cream, paint, and sushi.
Term
euglenoids
Definition
type of phytoplankton that is sometimes grouped with protozoa. Most are freshwater, have 1-3 flagella, primarily photosynthetic but can switch to heterotrophic in the dark, lack a rigid cell wall, have a photoreceptor called an eyespot, and named after Euglena.
Term
slime molds
Definition
protistans that are unicellular decomposers... can be acellular or cellular. Have two-part life cycel in which the cells of many individuals form an interactive aggregate which is almost multicellular.
Term
-a mobile feeding stage
-a stationary reproductive stage with a fruiting body that produces spores
Definition
Both types of slime mold have...
Term
acellular slime molds
Definition
type of slime mold also known as plasmodial which comes from its plasmodium (it's feeding stage).
Term
mitosis, cytokinesis
Definition
Accellular (plasmodial) slime mold goes through ______, but not _______ in it's reproductive stage.
Term
plasmodium
Definition
the mobile feeding stage of reproduction in acellular slime mold. It moves through decaying material, engulfing bacteria and food particles.
