BIOL 2030 Study Guide - Final Guide: Amoeboid Movement, Euglena, Ciliate
Document Summary
Taxonomic characteristics not included except for lab #1. Due to this they are heterotrophic and motile (capable of motion: they have one or more nuclei. Even thought they have more than one nuclei not one nucleus has a single area over a specialized part of the cytoplasm they are unicellular: all life process occur in one cell. Amoeboid move and feed by pseudopodia and use amoeboid locomotion: use acto-myosin. Ciliated use cilia: cilia = small hair-like structure that surrounds the body, the synchronized beating of the cilia provides locomotion, it allows the, use microtubules organism to more in one direction. Classification of protozoan phyla: amoebas move and feed by pseudopodia ( fault foot ) and use amoeboid locomotion, class rhizopodans move by lobopodia, filopodia, or cytoplasmic flow w/o discrete pseudopodia. E. x trypanosoma: phylum ciliophora use cilia (at least early life) Never amoeboid: two types of nuclei: nuclei, macro/micro nucleus, most highly organized, cilia can be used to get food.
