Examples of Autotrophic  Protists Euglena and Laminaria

Euglena sp. (Euglenids) • Unicellular! • One or two flagella that emerge from a pocket  at one end of the cell

Nutrition, Movement and Regulation • Mixotrophs – Lose chlorophyll in dark (become absorptive)

• Movement: Flagellar or euglenoid (shape change) – Positive phototaxis (due to light detector)

• Osmoregulation Os o egu at o – Euglena are hypertonic to their environment (have  more solutes and particles) – Contractile vacuole

Human Uses of Seaweeds • Foods, thickeners (gel like), lubricants

Terms needed to understand  Laminaria life cycle • • • •

Haploid (n): containing one set of chromosomes Diploid (2n): containing two sets of chromosomes Gamete: a haploid reproductive cell (ie: egg and sperm) Zygote: the diploid product of the union of gametes (ie:  fertilized egg) fertilized egg)

• Sporophyte: Multicellular diploid structure, produces  haploid spores • Spore (zoospores): haploid cell with flagella, can make a  multicellular haploid structure • Gametophyte: multicellular haploid structure, produces  gametes

Alternation of Generations • Alternate between two multicellular forms: 1. Sporophyte (“seaweed”) – Diploid (2n) individual – Produces haploid (n) P d h l id ( ) spores (zoospores!) ( !)

2. Gametophyte – Haploid (n) individual – Produces gametes that fuse together (fertilization) to  form a diploid zygote

Summary • Euglena – Major components, nutrition, movement (+phototaxis),  osmoregulation

• Laminaria a a a ((Brown Algae) o gae) – Multicellular, marine, kelp, parts: blade, stipe, holdfast

• Human uses of seaweed • Alteration of generations – Haploid / diploid parts of figure, structures (note: do not  have to know “sporangia” that is labeled in the book)
