Flashcards

Flashcard 1
🦠 Diplomonads (Excavata)

  • Anaerobic

  • Two nuclei & multiple flagella

  • Often parasites (Giardia intestinalis)

Flashcard 2
🦠 Parabasalids (Excavata)

  • Example: Trichomonas vaginalis (sexually transmitted parasite)

Flashcard 3
🦠 Kinetoplastids (Excavata)

  • Includes Trypanosoma (causes sleeping sickness)

Flashcard 4
🦠 Euglenids (Excavata)

  • Free-living in wet habitats or parasitic

  • One or two flagella

  • Can switch to heterotrophy without sunlight

  • Example: Euglena (pond water)

Flashcard 5
🦠 Stramenopiles (SAR)

  • Important photosynthesizers

  • Hairy and smooth flagella

Flashcard 6
🌊 Diatoms (Stramenopiles – SAR)

  • Unicellular algae

  • Glass-like cell walls (silicon dioxide)

  • Major phytoplankton component

Flashcard 7
🌊 Golden Algae (Stramenopiles – SAR)

  • Photosynthetic, some mixotrophs

  • Mostly unicellular

Flashcard 8
🌊 Brown Algae (Stramenopiles – SAR)

  • Multicellular marine "seaweeds"

Flashcard 9
🔥 Dinoflagellates (Alveolates – SAR)

  • Cellulose armor

  • Cause red tides, some bioluminescent

Flashcard 10
🦠 Apicomplexans (Alveolates – SAR)

  • Mostly parasitic

  • Example: Plasmodium (causes malaria)

Flashcard 11
🦠 Ciliates (Alveolates – SAR)

  • Use cilia for movement & feeding

  • Use conjugation for genetic exchange

Flashcard 12
🦠 Rhizarians (SAR)

  • Many are amoebas with thread-like pseudopodia

Flashcard 13
🔬 Radiolarians (Rhizarians – SAR)

  • Internal silica skeletons

  • Reinforced, radiating pseudopodia

Flashcard 14
🦠 Foraminiferans (Forams) (Rhizarians – SAR)

  • Pseudopodia extend through pores

  • Important fossil record

Flashcard 15
🦠 Cercozoans (Rhizarians – SAR)

  • Mostly heterotrophic, some photosynthetic

  • Found in marine, freshwater, and soil

Flashcard 16
🌿 Red Algae (Archaeplastida)

  • Accessory pigments mask chlorophyll

  • Mostly multicellular "seaweeds"

Flashcard 17
🟢 Chlorophytes (Green Algae – Archaeplastida)

  • Evolved greater size & complexity

  • Mostly freshwater

Flashcard 18
🟢 Charophytes (Green Algae – Archaeplastida)

  • Closest relatives of plants

  • Share traits with plants (e.g., cellulose production, flagellated sperm)

Flashcard 19
🌱 Plants (Archaeplastida)

  • NOT protists

Flashcard 20
🦠 Amoebozoans (Unikonta)

  • Amoebas with lobe-shaped pseudopodia

Flashcard 21
🌱 Slime Molds (Amoebozoans – Unikonta)

  • Resemble fungi

  • Have alternation of generations

Flashcard 22
🦠 Tubulinids (Amoebozoans – Unikonta)

  • Unicellular, soil or water

  • Heterotrophic predators

Flashcard 23
