The Eukaryotes 12a: Protozoans
Eukaryotes in general
cells
chromosomes made of chromatin
cell division: mitosis & cytokinesis
(if) sexual reproduction
meiosis
fertilization
http://tolweb.org/Eukaryotes/3
Kingdom Protista
highly diverse; may be more than 1
mostly unicellular
2 “lifestyles”
photoautotrophic: algae
chemohetero & often mobile: protozoa
Protozoa nutrition
trophozoite vs. cyst
“free-living” vs. parasite
Protozoa locomotion
cilia/flagella/amoeboid flow
by vector
Protozoa life cycle & reproduction
asexual: fission, budding, coenocyte, schizogony
