Protists (Lec 5) (Set 2)

True or false: Strombidium and Euplotes are examples of ciliates?

True or false: Asexual reproduction in ciliates involves transverse 'binary fission'?

True or false: Sexual reproduction in ciliates involves conjugation and allows for genetic variation?

True or false: Micronuclei swap is a mechanism that allows for genetic variation in ciliates?

True or false: Flagellates possess flagella and can move backwards and forwards?

True or false: Heterotrophic flagellates are also called 'Zooflagellates' and mainly feed by consuming pre-formed organic carbon?

True or false: Choanoflagellates are the only group that possess a collar of tentacles and are more closely related to animals than other protists?

True or false: Euglena is a phytoflagellate that can also ingest prey and exhibit raptorial feeding?

Ciliates are the most developed protozoan organisms.

Ciliates have two types of nucleus: macronucleus and micronuclei.

There are four Eukaryote Supergroups: Excavata, SAR, Archaeplastida, and Unikonta.

Ciliates use their cilia for movement and feeding.

The cytostome in free-swimming ciliates is more difficult to locate compared to attached ciliates.

Vorticella is an exception to the rule as it uses its cilia only for feeding.

Mixotrophic ciliates acquire photoautotrophic ability through organellar mixotrophy and cellular mixotrophy.

Which group of flagellates possess a collar of tentacles and are more closely related to animals than other protists?

What is the main mode of feeding for heterotrophic flagellates?

How many Eukaryote Supergroups are there?

Which type of reproduction in ciliates involves transverse 'binary fission'?

What is the mechanism in ciliates that allows for genetic variation?
