This micrograph show's a single-celled eukaryote, the cillate Didinium (left), about to engulf its Paramecium prey, which is also a ciliate. identify the eukaryotic. supergroup to which ciliates belong and describe the role of endosymbiosis in the evolutionary history of that supergroup Are these abates more closely related to all other proatists than they .are to plants,

Students have asked these similar questions
Differentiate the functions of the macro-and micronuclei of ciliates. What is the advantage of having dimorphic nuclei as compared to the monomorphic nucleus of other protozoans?
Apicomplexans are widespread and common parasites of worms, echinoderms, insects, and vertebrates (including humans). What characteristics do these protozoans have that make them highly infective (efficient as parasites)?
How can foram fossils provide clues about past cold and warm periods, and global temperature change?
What characteristics separate Euglenozoans from Chlorophytes (i.e., Volvox, green algae)?
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
The Phylum Animalia has some unique traits that set it apart from plants and fungi. Check all traits that animals have:
[] They have teeth [] A blastula is formed shortly after fertilization [] They are all cute and furry [] Prokaryotic Cells [] Eukaryotic cells[] They are all noctumal[] Multicellular[] They are all nocturnal[] Motile at some point in their lives[] No cell wall

Most filamentous cyanobacteria develop akinetes in adverse conditions (e.g., winter, dry periods). When favorable conditions return, they germinate and produce new filaments. Hormogonia are short pieces of filaments consisting of 5–15 trichomes that fragment and develop into new filaments. Heterocytes (or heterocysts) are multicellular structures that have a thick and massive sheath, formed by members of the Nostocales. It is the location of the enzyme nitrogenase for nitrogen fixation, the conversion of nitrogen gas into ammonium and then amino acids. They may be intercalary or terminal in position and may germinate from either end or both the ends to give rise to new filaments. Non-filamentous cyanobacteria generally produce spores…arrow_forwardAlgae are autotrophs and can have photosynthesis, however, evolutionary evidence suggests that plants shared a common ancestor with only green algae and are closest relatives of Charophytes.

- 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.arrow_forwardAmoebas and foraminferans are distantly related protists. They are however similar in the fact that; They are both encased in shells They are both photosynthetic They are both members of the Archaeplastida They both feed via psuedopodsarrow_forwardThe termite gut environment is lacking a fresh supply of oxygen O2. However, it is rich with food due to the presence of bacteria that contain enzymes capable of breaking down cellulose and lignin, the macromolecules that make wood.
