The process by which a unicellular organism engulfs another cell, which becomes an endosymbiont then organelle in the host cell

This type of Apicomplexan is responsible for malaria

Plasmodium

This type of Excavata is responsible for traveler's diarrhea

Diplomonads

Contain modified mitochondria called mitosomes

Diplomonads

This type of Excavata is responsible for tichomonas vaginalis

Parabasalids

Contain reduced mitochondria called hydrenosomes

Parabasalids

This member of euglenozoans is responsible for sleeping sickness and Chaga's disease

Trypanosomes

Contain membrane-bound sacs just under the plasma membrane

Alveolates

Contains two flagella, each reinforced by cellulose plates; causes "red tide"

Dinoflagellates

Contains 2 nucleae

Ciliata

Found in Ciliata

Paramecium

Contains hairy flagellum paired with smooth flagellum

Stramenopila

Unicellular algae with unique two-part shells; major component of phytoplankton

Diatoms

Multicellular, mostly marine; often referred to as seaweek or giant kelp

Brown algae

The alternation of multicellular haploid and diploid forms

Alternation of Generations

Generations are structurally different

Heteromorphic

Generations look similar

Isomorphic

Helps amoebas move and feed

Pseudopodia

Have tests fused to one delicate piece, usually made of silica

Radiolarians

Multicellular, mostly marine; often referred to as seaweed or giant kelp

Brown algae

Accessory pigment that causes red color; masks chloroplast

Phycoerythrin

This branch of Archaeoplastida and green algae is most closely related to land plants

Charophytes

Common unicellular amoebas in soil and water

Gymnamoebas

Causes amebic dysentery, the 3rd leading cause of human death due to eukaryotic parasites

Entamoeba histolytica
