Three protist groups |
Algae (plant), protozoa (animal), décomposers |
|
Describe the photoautotrophic protists' ecological role |
CALLED Phytoplankton Primary producers Produce biomass |
|
Describe the chemoheterotrophic protists' ecological role |
CALLED zooplankton Primary consumers Produce biomass for secondary consumer |
|
Three ways protists can vary |
Morphology, mode of nutrition, mode of Locomotion |
|
What's colonial? |
Not unicellular or multicellilar |
|
3 modes of nutrition |
Photosynthesis, absorptive, ingestive |
|
3 main modes of Locomotion via..? How do we group them |
Amoeboid, pseudopodia Swimming, flagella Swimming, cilia Stentor=swim, amoeba=amoeboid |
|
7 type of protists |
Desmids Diatoms Amoebozoa Ciliates Euglenids Volvox Trypanosomes |
|
Desmids: Ecological role What does it look like Photosynthetic pigment Cell wall Energy storage |
Phytoplankton Two half cell, bridge w nucleus Green Cellulose Starch |
|
Diatoms:Ecological roleWhat does it look likePhotosynthetic pigmentCell wallEnergy storage |
Phytoplankton Looks satisfyingly sim Yellow-brown Glass-like (silica) Chrysolaminarin |
|
Volvox:Ecological roleWhat does it look likePhotosynthetic pigmentCell wallEnergy storage |
Phytoplankton Large, hollow sphere Chlorophyll Lack polysaccharide, ECM Starch |
|
Amoeba: Mode of nutrition Mode of Locomotion Cell wall Relationship Physical distinction |
Ingestive Amoeboid No cell wall Parasite Blob with arms, vacuole |
|
Paramecium: Mode of nutrition Mode of Locomotion Cell wall Physical distinction |
