Trypanosoma. A kinetoplastid from the Euglenozoa Clade. -Causes African Sleeping Sickness transmitted by the Tse Tse fly. -Kinetoplastids have one large mitochondria.
|
What is this and what disease does it cause? What is the clade and what are two common characteristics of this clade? |
Giardia. From the Diplomonadida Clade. -Has 2 equal-sized nuclei and multiple flagella.-Giardiasis can cause severe diarrhea.
|
Identify this and from what clade. What disease does it cause? Name a common characteristic. |
Dinoflagellete. From the Alveolata Clade. -Causes "Red tide" and the poisoning associated with it is Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning. -Has two flagella in groove.
|
What is it? Group? and Clade? Common characteristic? Is it photoautotroph, heterotroph, or mixotroph? |
Euglena. From the Euglenid Group in the Euglenozoa Clade. -It moves in circles and vibrates caused by one or two flagella-They are mixotroph. In sunlight they are autotroph, but when sunlight is unavailable, they become heterotrophic.

Amoeba from the Amoebozoa Clade.-Have lobe or tube-shaped pseudopodia
|
Identify this example of a cellular slime mold.
|
Sporangia of Dictyostelium.
|
What is the function of these stages of the cellular slime mold life cycle?a) Amoeba b) Sporangium
|
A) When food is depleted, hundreds of amoebas congregate to form a slug-like aggregateb) In favorable conditions, amoebas emerge from the spore coats, cells crawl up the stalk and develop spores.
|
Identify this example of Plasmodial Slime molds.
