5355916753Endosymbiosis theoryA relationship between two species in which one organism lives inside the cell or cells of another organism (host)0
5372765567Primary endosymbiosis1
5372769760Secondary endosymbiosisred and green algae ingested by a heterotrophic eukaryote 1.2
5361586232Protists1. eukaryotes that are not plants, animals or fungi 2. most are unicellular 3. Some are heterotrophs and some are heterotrophs3
5355917052Serial endosymbiosismitochondria and chloroplasts were formerly small prokaryotes living within larger cells 1. similar in size 2. replication of mito. and chloroplasts resemble binary fission 3. inner membrane 4. ribosomes similar 5. have circular DNA which lack histones4
5355917053Mitochondria1. evolved before plastids are derived from prokaryotes that were engulfed by the ancestors of early eukaryotic cells 2. it's suggested that mitochondria arose once over the course of evolution since5
5365419887Plastids 色素体An organelle found in the cells of plants, green algae, red algae, and certain other protists. Like mitochondria, plastids have an inner and outer membrane, and contain their own DNA and ribosomes. Some plastids, such as the chloroplasts in plant leaves, contain pigments.6
5372751711Plastid lineage1. evolved later from a photosynthetic cyanobacterium that was engulfed by a heterotrophic eukaryote 2. evolved into photosynthetic protists, red and green algae7
5355917406Chloroplasts8
5355917407Elysia chloroticaFeeds by sucking the cell content from the intertidal algae Vaucheria.9
5361690485Excavata 古虫界1. a clade originally proposed based on morphological studies of the cytoskeleton 2. Include the diplomonads, parabasalids, and euglenozoans (all monophyletic)10
5365898764Euglenozoans1. protists include predatory heterotrophs, photosynthetic autotrophs, mixotrophs, and parasites 2. presence of a rod with either a spiral or a crystalline structure inside flagella11
5355917789Kleptoplastidy1. A group of euglenozoans that has a single, large mitochondrion that contains an organized mass of DNA called kinetoplast 2. Example: Trypanosoma -> cause human sleeping sickness, a neurological disease, Chaga's disease (transmitted by bloodsucking in sects and can lead to congestive heart failure)12
5355917790Chlorarachiniophytes1. a protist likely evolved when a heterotrophic eukaryote engulfed a green alga 2. engulfed cell, which contains a tiny vestigial nucleus, called nucleomorph13
5355918163Mixotrophcan use chloroplasts to undergo photosynthesis if light is available or as as a heterotroph by absorbing organic nutrients from the environment (ex. euglena)14
5372818139Three ecological categories of protistsprotozoa, fungus-like and algae15
5355918164protozoaingestive, animal-like nutrition16
5355918165fungus-likeabsorptive nutrition17
5372812597algaephotosynthetic, plant-like nutrition18
5355918600Eukaryotic Cilium or Flagellum1. eukaryotic flagella are not homologous to those of prokaryotes 2. they are extensions of the cytoplasm with a support of the 9+2 microtubule system19
5372824971cystresistant cells formed by protists that can survive in harsh conditions20
5355918975plankton 浮游生物communities of mostly microscopic organisms that drift in currents near the water's surface21
