Lecture 12, Ch. 28

This document summarizes a lecture on the origins of eukaryotic diversity and protist systematics and phylogeny. It discusses how protists can be categorized as ingestive, absorptive, or photosynthetic. It also covers the endosymbiotic theory that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from prokaryotes living within larger cells. Finally, it outlines the major groups of protists, including those lacking mitochondria, euglenoids, alveolata, stramenopiles, rhodophyta, chlorophyta, rhizopods, actinopods, and mycetozoa.

Lecture #12 Date ________

● Chapter 28~
The Origins of
Eukaryotic Diversity
Protists
● Ingestive
(animal-like);
protozoa

● Absorptive
(fungus-like)

● Photosynthetic
(plant-like);
alga
The Endosymbionic Theory
● Mitochondria and chloroplasts were formerly
from small prokaryotes living within larger
cells (Margulis)
Protist Systematics & Phylogeny, I
● 1- Groups lacking mitochondria;
early eukaryotic link; Giardia
(human intestinal parasite; severe
diarrhea); Trichomonas (human
vaginal infection)

● 2- Euglenoids; autotrophic &


heterotrophic flagellates;
Trypanosoma (African sleeping
sickness; tsetse fly)
Protist Systematics & Phylogeny, II
● Alveolata: membrane-bound
cavities (alveoli) under cell
surfaces; dinoflagellates
(phytoplankton);
Plasmodium (malaria);
ciliates (Paramecium)
Protist Systematics & Phylogeny, III
● Stamenophila: water molds/mildews
and heterokont (2 types of flagella)
algae; numerous hair-like projections on
the flagella; most molds are
decomposers and mildews are parasites;
algae include diatoms, golden, and
brown forms
Protist Systematics & Phylogeny, IV

● Rhodophyta: red
algae; no flagellated
stages; phycobilin
(red) pigment

● Chlorophyta: green
algae; chloroplasts;
gave rise to land
plants; volvox, ulva
Protist Systematics & Phylogeny, V
● Affinity uncertain:
● Rhizopods: unicellular with
pseudopodia; amoebas
