Presentation Transcript

  1. Kingdom Protista red algae “dinoflagellates” various toxicities, red tides “slime nets” in “Kingdom Chromista” plasmodial slime molds “amoebas” (a polyphyletic taxon), e.g., amoebic dysentery (a.k.a., amebiasis— Entamoeba histolytica) “flagelates” e.g., giardiasis, African sleeping sickness, Chagas disease golden algae microsporidia (vertebrate intracllular parasite—AIDS super- infection) cellular slime molds fish parasites e.g., malaria a.k.a., spironemids, various heterotrophic flagellates parasites of invertebrates “ciliates” e.g., Balantidium coli Irish potato famine green alge brown alge

  2. Protista Characteristics • Five-Kingdom System vs. Three-Domain System • Paraphyletic (in 5ks) • Mostly Aerobic, Motile, Aquatic • Mostly Heterotrophic (also Auto- & Mixotrophs) • Engulfers vs. Adsorbers vs. Algae (autotrophs) • “Algae” is a Polyphyletic taxon • Endomembranes, Mitochondria, Chloroplasts, Etc. • Asexual vs. Sexual with no Mitosis in Diploid state vs. Alternation of Generation • Benthic vs. Planktonic • Important Predators (heterotrophic engulfers) • Important Producers (the algae, various kinds)

  3. Jumble of Names • Rhizopoda (amoebas; polyphyletic) (5ks Protista) • Diplomonadida (Giardia lamblia, Archaezoa*; flagellates*) (5ks Protista) • Parabasala* (Trichomonas vaginalis*, Archaezoa*; flagellate*) (5ks Protista) • Euglenozoa (Euglenoids, Kinetoplastids, Trypanosoma*, Archaezoa*; flagellates*) (5ks Protista) • Alveolata (some flagellates*, i.e, dinoflagellates; apicomplexans & ciliates) (5ks Protista) • Stramenopila (water molds, diatoms, golden algae, brown algae) (5ks Protista) • Rhodophyta (red algae) (5ks Protista) • Chlorophyta (green algae, Viridiplantae*) (5ks Protista) • Mycetozoa (slime molds, Myxogastrida, Dictyostelida) (5ks Protista)

  5. Some of the new terms that you are responsible for (in red): • Rhizopoda (amoebas; polyphyletic) (5ks Protista) • Diplomonadida (Giardia lamblia, Archaezoa*; flagellates*) (5ks Protista) • Parabasala* (Trichomonas vaginalis*, Archaezoa*; flagellate*) (5ks Protista) • Euglenozoa (Euglenoids, Kinetoplastids, Trypanosoma*, Archaezoa*; flagellates*) (5ks Protista) • Alveolata (some flagellates*, i.e, dinoflagellates; apicomplexans & ciliates) (5ks Protista) • Stramenopila (water molds, diatoms, golden algae, brown algae) (5ks Protista) • Rhodophyta (red algae) (5ks Protista) • Chlorophyta (green algae, Viridiplantae*) (5ks Protista) • Mycetozoa (slime molds, Myxogastrida, Dictyostelida) (5ks Protista) Quickie Review

  10. Foraminifera Forams Notice the gigantic size of this single cell! The pseudopodia (food-collecting appendages) of this specimen form an elaborate network extending several millimeters from the cell body. The pseudopodial network (technically called a "reticulopodium") provides the organism with a wide foraging range. The reticulopodium also furnishes a tremendous surface area for the absorption of dissolved nutrients. The species shown here reinforces its pseudopods with tough, sticky, elastic cables that allow it to capture small crustaceans and the juveniles of larger invertebrates such as sea urchins and starfish. It is quite an amazing feat for a single cell to exploit such a wide range of nutrients -- from dissolved organic material to multicellular creatures several times its own size. Such dietary flexibility is undoubtedly an important part of the foraminiferal success strategy.
