Biological Principles II Name 6 Protist Chsifiation Workshect ‘This phylogenetic tree tentatively outlines the evolution of various groups of eukaryotes. Most are informally called protists. Protists are a diverse collection of eukaryotes, simple to complex, with, ‘varying lifestyles. Review the types of protists by matching each statement with the correct branch(es) of the phylogenetic tree. Some answers are used more than once, and some questions have multiple answers. L M e ‘Three groups of organisms that are not protists 8 ‘This group gets its name from the green flagellate Euglena EGH ‘These three groups of organisms make up the stramenopiles FF) VK trrcetinds of proists that decompose organic matter 0 ‘Can be green single cells, balls or strands of cells, or complex multicellular onganis Fuk ‘The names of these three groups suggest that they are related to fungi, but they are notattr CDE ange 2 eo c ve Ae ae ie eee Fungus-like protists that decompose dead plants and animals in the water ‘Mostly free-living protists that move by means of cilia Kelps ‘These three groups move via lobe-shaped extensions called pseudopodia Algne characteristic of warm coastal tropical waters You may see Paramecium, a representative of this group, in lab Five groups of protists containing organisms informally known as “algae” Close relatives of plants “These three groups are called alveolates, named for sacs under their membranes Algae with complex, glassy, silica cell walls ‘Seaweeds are in these three groups ‘A flagellate in this group causes sleeping sickness ‘The largest and most complex algae Blooms of these organisms, called "red tides," can poison fish and people ‘Two groups that exist part-time as individual cells and part-time as large “blobs” Giardia, an intestinal parasite, isin this group Animal parasites that cause diseases such as malaria Some are serious plant parasites, such as the organism that causes potato blight l dm} necessarily agree w/ B be in here.
