These micrographs show one single-celled eukaryote, a tubulinid amoeba, engulfing another, a ciliate. Describe a key feature of eukaryotes suggested by these images, and summarize the role of endosymbiosis in the evolutionary history of the eukaryotes. Are tubulinid amoebas more closely related to all other protists than they are to plants,

Microscopic Images
Examine the microscopic images of protists below. Note
cell shapes, organelles, intracellular structures,
locomotory structures and other distinguishing features.

Multicellular algae (top row A-C, left to right) and
unicellular algae (D-F):
A. Brown kelp (seaweed) Macrocystis
B. Red algae Corallina
C. Green algae Halimeda incrassata
D. Bioluminescence (blue color) from dinoflagellates
(flagellated unicellular algae).
E. Diatoms (shelled unicellular algae)
F. Colonial green algae Volvox (bottom row)
Give an example of a protist that is:(a) a parasite of humans(b) very large and photosynthetic(c) a unicellular species with two flagella and photosynthetic(d) covered in cilia
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

- Jr. Scientist discovers a never-before-classified protist. It contains multinucleated filaments, similar to fungal hyphae however, upon closer examination the cell walls are found to be composed of cellulose rather than chitin. They do not perform photosynthesis but instead acquire nutrients by way of parasitism or decomposition.

- Please help to answer and also provide a step-by-step explanation: Movement is a type of response to stimuli. Many unicellular organisms can move in response to chemical changes outside the cell – amoeba exhibits locomotion, paramecium use cilia to get around. Protists such as the Amoeba and the Paramecium are important to our discussion of evolution because of their ability to respond to changes in the environment. These single-celled eukaryotes have this ability because a) their DNA responds to stimuli from the environment, b) they have the same germ cell layers that the Cnidaria have, c) new proteins, located in the cell membrane, have shapes and charge patterns that react to a stimulus by generating an electrical impulse. d) they have a Golgi Apparatus that measures the stimulus from the environment, e) none of these are possible.arrow_forwardPut a checkmark (1) on the group where each of the following structures are present.
