Diplomonads- Two separate nuclei, no plastids, no true mitochondria, multiple
flagella.
Parabasalids - No plastids, no true mitochondria. Flagellated.
Euglenozoans - Flagellated, may be autotrophic, mixotrophic or heterotrophic
Chromalveolata Alveolata - Membrane-bound alveoli under cell surface.
.
Dinoflagellates - Flagellated and cellulose-reinforced.
Apicomplexans - Parasites of animals, have modified plastids.
Ciliates - Move by undulating cilia, feed by ingesting bacteria or other
protists, marine or freshwater.
Stramenopiles
.
Diatoms - Most diverse, over 10,000 marine and fresh water species,
secrete silica shells.
Golden algae - Combination of yellow and brown pigments, unicellular
species of ponds and lakes.
Brown algae - Multicellular marine algae usually known as seaweed.
Oomycetes (water molds, powdery or downy mildew) - Unicellular or
coenocytic.
Red algae - Mostly marine algae, mostly multicellular, possess unique red
phytopigments.
Green algae - Unicellular and filamentous algae, fresh water and marine.

Pre-lab task 2: on the other side of this page, list the five protist supergroups (classical phenotypic classification),
and place each of the 20 protist examples (given on the first page of TopHat Part II - Introduction to Domain
Eukarya: The Protists) in its correct supergroup.
