1 I. Endosymbiosis A. Occurred in early eukaryotes Pelomyxa - lacks mitochondria

2

3 B. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar to bacteria 1. circular DNA 2. similar translational machinery - DNA, RNA, ribosomes

4 3. divide by process similar to binary fission 4. double membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts - inner membrane part of prokaryote - outer membrane from cell membrane of “host”

5 II. Eukaryotic Reproduction A. Sexual 1. haploid gametes 2. advantage in evolutionary adaptation 3. more diversity 4. includes self-fertilization - offspring still not identical to parent

6 B. Asexual 1. no gametes 2. offspring genetically identical to parent 3. parthenogenesis - new organism from an unfertilized egg - many insects, lizards, fish, amphibians

7 III. Kingdom Protista A. Most diverse kingdom 1. most unicellular eukaryotes (except yeast) 2. all eukaryotes not plant, animal, or fungus 3. “catch-all” kingdom - some protists more closely related to plants, animals, or fungi than other protists

8 III. Kingdom Protista A. Most diverse kingdom (cont’d) 4. algae (many of the photosynthetic protists) 5. protozoa (single-celled heterotrophs) 6. molds (similar to fungi)

9 B. Diplomonads - 2 nuclei and multiple flagella - Giardia intestinalis

10 C. Euglenozoans 1. includes heterotrophs, photosynthetic autotrophs, and pathogenic parasites 2. Trypanosoma - sleeping sickness - tsetse flies 3. Euglena - many can alternate between photosynthetic and heterotrophic

11 D. Alveolates - have tiny membrane-enclosed sacs just under the cell membrane 1. dinoflagellates a. marine/aquatic phytoplankton (photosynthetics) b. some are heterotrophic c. some are bioluminescent d. toxic red tides (from overgrowth)

12

13 2. apicomplexans a. animal parasites b. form spores c. Plasmodium - malaria

14 3. ciliates - use cilia for locomotion - heterotrophs that dine on bacteria, algae, and other ciliates - paramecium

15 E. Stramenopiles - have a “hairy” flagellum 1. water molds a. freshwater organisms b. decompose dead plant and animal material c. includes downy mildews d. can be parasitic - fish - potato blight - downy mildew of grapes

16 2. diatoms a. unicellular, photosynthetic algae b. cell wall contains silica (found in many abrasives) c. marine/aquatic d. diatomaceous earth

17 3. brown algae a. largest and most complex algae (fast-growing) b. marine c. multicellular d. most seaweeds e. kelp

18 F. Amoebozoans use pseudopodia

19 F. Amoebozoans use pseudopodia 1. free-living amoebas - marine/aquatic - soil

20 2. parasitic amoebas - dysentery - Naegleria fowleri

21 3. plasmodial slime molds - oozing mass of slime - many nuclei - decomposers

22 4. cellular slime molds - can aggregate into slugs - change location - differentiates and sporulates

23 G. Red and green algae 1. closely related to plants 2. both contain chlorophyll 3. red algae are important reef species - hard cell walls, non-motile

24 G. Red and green algae (cont’d) 4. green algae - Chlamydomonas - Volvox - many sea weeds
