890691210Protistsdiverse group of eukaryotic organisms that mainly live in aquatic enviornments
890691211type of protists coloniesloosely connected groups of cells
890691212type of protist coenocytermultinucleated
890691213type of protist multucellularcomposed of many cells
890691214pseudopodiamove by pushing out and pulling in cytoplasmic extensions
890691215amoeba caningest or engulf food
890691216protists arefree living or symbiotic, ranging from mutualism to parasitism
890691217mutualismboth benifit
890691218commerslismone benefits and the other is unaffected
890691219parasitismone lives on or in the other
890691220symbiosisintimate relationship between species
890691221protists produceboth sexually and Asexually, some produce only Asexually
890691222monophyletic groupevolved from common ancestor
890691223paraphyletic groupcontains some, but not all of the desentants of a common eukaryotic ancestor
890691224zooflagellatesmainly unicellular heterotrophs, with spherical or elongated bodies
890691225characteristics of zooflagellatesmove rapidly with whip like flagella, ingest food with mouth
890691226excavatesdiplomonads and other zooflagellates
890691227discicristateseuglenoids and other zooflagellates
890691228diplomonadswith a deep excavated oral groove, one or two nuclei, live in oxygenfree enviornments
890691229(zooflagellate) trichonymphaspecialized excavates with 100's of flagella, live in guts of termites
890691230Euglenoidsunicellular with flagella, reproduce Asexually, some are photosynthetic
890691231Alveolateshave alveoli, flattened vesicles under plasma membrance, contain cellulase plates with cilicates
890691232ciliates (alveolate)move by hair like cilia, able to change shape due to fexible pellicle
890691233micronucleifor sexual reproduction
890691234macronucleifor cell metabolism and growth
890691235dinoflagellates (aveolates)unicellular, some are colonial
890691236biflagellatepropel through water like a top
890691237photosyntheticmajor producers in marine ecosystems, store enery reserves as oils or polysaacharides
890691238endosymbiontslive in the bodies or marine invertebrates
890691239apicomplexansare spore forming parasites, lack structures for locomation, cause disease
890691240apical complax of microtubulesattaches apicomplexan to host cell, half of life is spent in one host and the other half is spent in another
890691241heterokontsmost have motile cells with two different kinds of flagella
890691242water moldsa body called mycelium, grows over dead organic material. Digesting and then absorbing it
890691243Phytophora ramorumcauses sudden oak death, and attacks other trees
890691244phytophthora infestanscauses light blight of potato
890691245Diatomsmostly unicellular algae, few exist as colonies
890691246Golden Algaefound in fresh water and marine enviornments, unicellular biflagellate, Asexual reproduction
890691247Brown algaemulticellular, Kelp
890691248cercozoaamoeboid cells, often have hard outer shells
890691249actinopodsobtain food with axopods, mostly marine plankton
890691250red algaemostly multicellular seaweeds, sexual reproduction, incorporate calcium carbonate in cell walls
890691251green algaesingle celled, colonial, multinucleated, and multicellular forming sheets
