Document Summary

Inward folds of the plasma membrane of a prokaryotic cell to create a nucleus. 1: endosymbiosis: incorporation of mitochondria and chloroplasts into a cell. Evolved from prokaryotes: protozoans: unicellular organisms that ingest and are mobile (proto=first, zoa=animals, algae: unicellular, colonial, or multicellular photosynthetic, fungal protists: despite their name ending in -mycota, they are not directly related to organisms. Green algae = believed to be ancestors of land plants fungi. Either have no cell walls, or cell walls made of chitin. Terrestrial organisms that feed on microorganisms in decaying plant and animal matter. Two forms: multinucleate mass of protoplasm (plasmodial slime molds, amoeba-like uninucleate slime molds (cellular slime molds) Reproduce sexually by producing sporangia and spores. Exist as free living cells (myxamoebae) in soil, feeding on bacteria. Starving cells emit camp which acts as a chemical signal (chemotaxis) Myxamoebae aggregate to form a mobile, slug-like mass of 10-125k cells called pseudoplasmodium.
