Which stramenopile group includes kelps? |
Phaeophyta |
|
Which secondary photosynthetic pigment is found in kelps (and makes them brown)? |
Fucoxanthin |
|
Many kelps are anchored to rocks by a root-like structure called the: |
Holdfast |
|
Kelps also often have a flattened leaf-like portion called the: |
Blades |
|
What is the name of the marine, planktonic rhizarian group whose members form a calcareous test? |
Foraminifera |
|
What is the name of the marine, planktonic rhizarian group whose members form a siliceous test? |
Radiolaria |
|
Which rhizarian group includes the chlorachniophytes and Paulinella? |
Cercozoa |
|
Why is Paulinella interesting to biologists who study the origin of plastids through endosymbiosis? |
The plastid of paulinella may be an example of a relatively recent primary endosymbiotic event with a cyanobacterium (independent of that seen in all other photosynthetic eukarya) |
|
How do the pseudopodia of the Amoebozoa differ from those of the Rhizaria? |
Rhizaria-Filose Amoebozoa-Lobose |
|
Which group of amoebae includes the parasitic amoebas? |
Amoebas |
|
Cellular slime molds go through an aggregation phase where individual cells come together to form multicellular stage called the: |
Pseudoplasmodium |
|
Which amoebozoan group forms a true plasmodium? |
Myxogastria |
|
Which protistan phylum (that we discussed in class) is thought to have shared the most recent common ancestor with members of the plant kingdom? |
