308512734Protistsdiverse group of eukaryotic organisms that mainly live in aquatic enviornments
308512735type of protists coloniesloosely connected groups of cells
308512736type of protist coenocytermultinucleated
308512737type of protist multucellularcomposed of many cells
308512738pseudopodiamove by pushing out and pulling in cytoplasmic extensions
308512739amoeba caningest or engulf food
308512740protists arefree living or symbiotic, ranging from mutualism to parasitism
308512741mutualismboth benifit
308512742commerslismone benefits and the other is unaffected
308512743parasitismone lives on or in the other
308512744symbiosisintimate relationship between species
308512745protists produceboth sexually and Asexually, some produce only Asexually
308512746monophyletic groupevolved from common ancestor
308512747paraphyletic groupcontains some, but not all of the desentants of a common eukaryotic ancestor
308512748zooflagellatesmainly unicellular heterotrophs, with spherical or elongated bodies
308512749characteristics of zooflagellatesmove rapidly with whip like flagella, ingest food with mouth
308512750excavatesdiplomonads and other zooflagellates
308512751discicristateseuglenoids and other zooflagellates
308512752diplomonadswith a deep excavated oral groove, one or two nuclei, live in oxygenfree enviornments
308512753(zooflagellate) trichonymphaspecialized excavates with 100's of flagella, live in guts of termites
308512754Euglenoidsunicellular with flagella, reproduce Asexually, some are photosynthetic
308512755Alveolateshave alveoli, flattened vesicles under plasma membrance, contain cellulase plates with cilicates
308512756ciliates (alveolate)move by hair like cilia, able to change shape due to fexible pellicle
308512757micronucleifor sexual reproduction
308512758macronucleifor cell metabolism and growth
308512759dinoflagellates (aveolates)unicellular, some are colonial
308512760biflagellatepropel through water like a top
308512761photosyntheticmajor producers in marine ecosystems, store enery reserves as oils or polysaacharides
308512762endosymbiontslive in the bodies or marine invertebrates
308512763apicomplexansare spore forming parasites, lack structures for locomation, cause disease
308512764apical complax of microtubulesattaches apicomplexan to host cell, half of life is spent in one host and the other half is spent in another
308512765heterokontsmost have motile cells with two different kinds of flagella
308523011water moldsa body called mycelium, grows over dead organic material. Digesting and then absorbing it
308523012Phytophora ramorumcauses sudden oak death, and attacks other trees
308523013phytophthora infestanscauses light blight of potato
308523014Diatomsmostly unicellular algae, few exist as colonies
308523015Golden Algaefound in fresh water and marine enviornments, unicellular biflagellate, Asexual reproduction
308523016Brown algaemulticellular, Kelp
308523017cercozoaamoeboid cells, often have hard outer shells
308523018actinopodsobtain food with axopods, mostly marine plankton
308523019red algaemostly multicellular seaweeds, sexual reproduction, incorporate calcium carbonate in cell walls
308523020green algaesingle celled, colonial, multinucleated, and multicellular forming sheets
