Alveoli
Flattened vesicles just inside the plasma membrane which
support the membrane
Rhizaria shared derived trait
Often have protective shells of calcium or silica
Archaeplastida shared derived trait
chloroplasts via primary endosymbiosis
red algae, green algae, land plants
Red algae
A photosynthetic protist, named for its color, which results
from a red pigment that masks the green of chlorophyll. Most
are multicellular and marine.
green algae
Photosynthetic protists that include unicellular, colonial, and
multicellular species with grass green chloroplasts; closely
related to true plants. Mostly freshwater
Amoebozoans shared derived trait
,blob shape
Opisthokonta
the eukaryotic supergroup that contains the fungi, animals,
and choanoflagellates
You've isolated a new protist species. The cells you
discovered have secondary plastids and are mixotrophic.
Hypothesize what supergroup they most likely belong to.
Excavata
Sister taxa of fungi
Nucleariids
Nutrition of Fungi
Absorptive heterotrophs
absorptive heterotrophs
1. secrete hydrolases
2. break down polymers to monomers
3. absorb organic molecules
What are the 3 main lifestyles of Fungi
Decomposers
Parasites
Mutualists
Decomposers
Absorb nutrients from non living organic material
, Parasites
absorb nutrients from the cells of living hosts
mutualists (fungi)
absorb nutrients from host organism, but reciprocate to
host's benefit
Body Structures of Fungi
Multicellular
Unicellular
Hyphae
Long, branched, thread-like filaments
Basic building blocks of fungus body
Elongate to expand to new food source
Unique to the cell wall of fungi
Made of chitin
Reproductive Structures of fungi
Aerial hyphae
Fruiting bodies
Aerial Hyphae
Specialized to permit dispersal
Fruiting bodies
The reproductive structure of a fungus that contains many
hyphae and produces spores.
