dinoflagellate anatomy

Amoeba anatomy

Eukaryotic cells are more complex then prokaryotic cellss the eukaryotic cell structure includes
nucleus: the control center seperating the genetic material, DNA from the rest of the cell.
plasma mambrane: seperating the inside from the outside from the outside of the cell, controls what comes into the cell
cytoplasm: mixture of organic and inorganic materials, fluid portion is called cytosol.
cytoskeleton: "skeleton" with in the cell, maintains cell shape, protects cell, enables some cell motion, is involved in cellular division.
cili and fagella: appendages outside the cell that make it able to move.
ribosomes: tiny cell structures that make protiens, they are attached to the rough ER
mitochindria: is the powerhouse of teh cell
chloroplasts: only plants have this, contains pigment chlorophyll, harnesses the sunlight and turns it into energy.

Algae classifications (plant like)
* phylum Euglenophyta
Euglenoid parts
-nucleus
-choroplasts
-flagellum
-eye spot
-cell membrane
*phylum Diatoms
*Phylum Dinoflagellates

Algae classification ( aniamal like)
*phylum Sarcodina (ameoba)
ameoba parts
-nucleus
-pseudopds (false feet)
-food vacuole
-cell mambrane
-ameoba feeding
*phylum ciliophora (paramecium)
paramecium parts
-macro nulceus
-micro nucleus
-cilia
-food vacuoles
-contractile vacuoles
-oral groove
-cell membrane
*phylum mastigophora (flagellated)
*phylum sporozoa (sporozoans)
*phylum gymnomycota (fungus like protists: slime mold)
there are three groups of slime mold
-plasmodial slime mold: they have enormous single cells with thousands of nuclei
-cellular slime mold: they spend most of there lives as a single celled amoeboid protits.

Protist vocabulary
phytoplankton: the aggregate of plants and plantlike organisms in plankton.
zooplankton: the aggregate of animal or animal like organisms in plankton, as protozoans.
protozoans: any of a diverse group of eukaryotes, of the kingdom Protista, that are primarily unicellular, existing singly or aggregating into colonies, are usually nonphotosynthetic, and are often classified further into phyla according to their capacity for and means of motility, as by pseudopods, flagella, or cilia.
protista: eukaryotic one-celled living organisms distinct from multicellular plants and animals: protozoa, slime molds, and eukaryotic algae
Sarcodines: belonging or pertaining to the protist phylum Sarcodina, comprising protozoa that move and capture food by forming pseudopodia.
Ciliates: Any of various protozoans of the class Ciliata, characterized by numerous cilia.
Flagellates:Any of various protozoans of the subphylum Mastigophora that move by means of one or more flagella. Some flagellates can make food by photosynthesis (such as euglenas and volvox), and are often classified as green algae by botanists. Others are symbiotic or parasitic (such as trypanosomes). Flagellates are related to amoebas.
Sporozoans: Any of numerous parasitic protozoans of the class Sporozoa, most of which reproduce sexually and asexually in alternate generations by means of spores. They are frequently transmitted by bloodsucking insects to different hosts, where they cause many serious diseases, such as malaria and coccidiosis.

This took a really long time to do, probley because i wasnt very focused. The website about eukaryotic cells was very helpfull and had all the information i needed. All of the algae classification stuff i got out of our work sheets, and all the vocabulary i got from dictionary. com! All this stuff i find to be kind of confusing becasue there are so many diffrent types of protists and to me they are all very similar.
