  1. BOT3015LOverview of Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Protists Presentation created by Danielle Sherdan All photos from Raven et al.Biology of Plants except when otherwise noted

  2. Endosymbiosis Plants (embryophytes) Angiosperms Gymnosperms, seedless, and non-vascular Tree of Life Animals Cyanobacteria gave rise to chloroplasts and autotrophic protists gave rise to plants Fungi All the rest of the eukaryotes, protists (Today, focus on autotrophic protists) www.tolweb.org

  3. Chosen examples of protists Phyla Reason for choosing Chlorophyta Rhodophyta Phaeophyta Dinophyta Bacillariophyta Oomycota Gave rise to plants Chloroplasts most closely resemble cyanobacteria Most complex of the algae (some exhibit meiotic gametogenesis) Many are autotrophic, ecological impacts Ecological impacts because they are primary producers Heterotrophic protist, some are plant pathogens

  4. Some ecological aspects of algae (photosynthetic protists) Plants are to land as __________ are to water algae Provide shelter, food, and substrate Base of the aquatic food chain Environment and adaptations Human and protist affairs (some presented within)

  5. Chosen examples of protists Phyla Reason for choosing Chlorophyta Rhodophyta Phaeophyta Dinophyta Bacillariophyta Oomycota Gave rise to plants Chloroplasts most closely resemble cyanobacteria Most complex of the algae (some exhibit meiotic gametogenesis) Many are autotrophic, ecological impacts Ecological impacts because they are primary producers Heterotrophic protist, some are plant pathogens

  6. ChlorophytaGreen algae • Share some characteristics with plants: • Chl a, as the reaction center pigment in PSII, a feature shared with cyanobacteria and all photosynthetic eukaryotes. Associated with oxygenic photosynthesis. • Chl b, part of light-harvesting complex that balances energy between the PSI and II and accommodates cyclic flow. • Store starch in plastids • Cellulose cell walls (usually for Chlorophyta) Plants (embryophytes) evolved from aquatic green algae Retention of female gametes in embryophytes is advantageous in terrestrial environments. In the coming weeks, we will be discussing more about the evolutionary trends in plants, which have become well adapted to terrestrial environments

  7. Chlorophyta examples Unicellular type Chlamydomonas Above taken from Berkley site Museum of Paleontology ~1µm

  8. Example of one type of asexual reproduction Chlorophyta examples Chlamydomonas From Outlaw lecture

  9. Chlorophyta examples Example of one type of sexual reproduction in this phylum Zygotic meiosis Chlamydomonas From Outlaw lecture

  10. Chlorophyta examples Colonial type (one path to multicellular that was an evolutionary dead end) Volvox Colonies ~1-2mm From Outlaw lecture

  11. Chlorophyta examples Sexual reproduction Zygotic meiosis Spirogyra ~0.5mm Filamentous (one path towards multicellularity)

  12. Chlorophyta examples Ulva Parenchymatous (path to multicellularity that led to plants) Sexual reproduction by alternation of generations

  13. Chlorophyta examples Siphonous form Acetabularia Mermaid’s wine glass

  14. Chlorophyta examples Desmids (Charophyceae) Xanthidium Euastrum Micrasterias
