- Describe the morphology of oomycetes. Which protists are known for their cytoplasmic streaming movement? Which protists occasionally resemble tiny snails? What are the shells made of? Which group of protists have elaborate exteriors of glassy silica and are very common in the fossil record? What supergroup do land plants share a common ancestor with? What protists are common in tropical waters and are generally called “seaweeds?” Which of the algaes are the furthest living relatives to land plants? Which algaes are the closest living relatives to land plants? Which protists move using tube-like pseudopodia? Which protist group exhibits similarities to fungi as a result of convergent evolution? Which protist group takes on a slug form when nutrients are hard to come by? What protist group do animals share a common ancestor with? What are the choanoflagellates are believed to resemble? Which group contains at least one type of human parasite? Ecology of…If an ancestral protist was classified as an opisthokont, then what should be true of this protist? -They should also have given rise to the plants. -They should perform heterotrophy by secretion of exoenzymes. -Like diplomonads and parabasalids, they should bear multiple flagella. -They should be parasitic -They should be the common ancestor of the basidiomycetes and animals.Amoeba, Paramecuim, and Spirogyra are diverse. Why, then, are they all classified as protists?
- Which of the following is not true of the protists? (a) they are unicellular, colonial, coenocytic, or simple multicellular organisms (b) their cilia and flagella have a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules (c) they are prokaryotic, as bacteria and archaea are (d) some are free-living, and some are endosymbionts (e) most are aquatic and live in the ocean or in freshwater pondsDNA sequence data for a diplomonad, a euglenid, a plant, and an unidentified protist suggest that the unidentified species is most closely related to the diplomonad. Further studies reveal that the unknown species has fully functional mitochondria. Based on these data, at what point on the phylogenetic tree in Figure 1 did the mystery protist’s lineage probably diverge from other eukaryote lineages? Explain.The following groups of protists will be covered in lecture: Amoebazoa, Excavate-euglena, Alveolata: ciliates, dinoflagellates, apicomplexan; Stramenopiles: diatoms and brown algae, and Plantae: chlorophytes. How do these organisms compare in their -general type of nutrition (autotroph, heterotroph), -ecological roles (parasites, decomposers, importance in food chains) -general structures (cell walls, structures that help them move and feed, single vs multicellular) -reproduction (asexual, sexual) -presence or absence of alternation of generations, - degree of complexity of life cycles -habitats that they are found in
- Dinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists. Dinoflagellates are bioluminescent, but only at night. During the day, they carry out photosynthesis similar to other autotrophs. At night, however, they bioluminesce every time they are disturbed. They are often seen in the wakes of ships at night. While the reason for this bioluminescence is not fully understood, many scientists concur that it is a form of self-defense. If small fish begin to feed upon the protists, the protists will begin to bioluminesce. These flashes of light in the dark water can alert larger fish and draw them towards the small fish, upon which they prey. By making the small fish vulnerable, the dinoflagellates are able to protect themselves. Based on the information above, a researcher decides to design an experiment in which she is testing how long it takes for dinoflagellates to recover after different amounts of disturbance. She maintains 10 containers of dinoflagellates with similar temperature, salinity and…Dinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists. Dinoflagellates are bioluminescent, but only at night.

- Some literature lists the 4 groups of protozoans as: 1) Flagellates 2) Amoebas 3) Ciliates 4) Sporozoans But other sources list the 4 groups as: 1) Flagellates 2) Amoebas 3) Heliozoans 4) Ciliates Compare and contrast heliozoans vs. sporozoans. Explain why one would replace the other in literature sources.What distinguishes protists from prokaryotes? What distinguishes protists from fungi, land plants, and animals?Platyhelmenthes (flat worms) These creatures have unique regeneration properties. What does that mean? We looked at a few parasitic examples of this group. Be able to identify the life cycle of one or more of these individuals. What is a primary host? A secondary host? Distinguish between turbellaria, trematode and cestoda
