20 Five Supergroups of Eukaryotes It is no longer thought that amitochondriates (lacking mitochondria) are the oldest lineage of eukaryotes Our understanding of the relationships among protist groups continues to change rapidly One hypothesis divides all eukaryotes (including protists) into five supergroups

23 Diplomonads and Parabasalids These 2 groups live in anaerobic environments, lack plastids, and have modified mitochondria Diplomonads Have modified mitochondria called mitosomes Derive energy anaerobically, for example, by glycolysis Have two equal-sized nuclei and multiple flagella Are often parasites, for example, Giardia intestinalis

24 Fig g 5 µm

25 Parabasalids Have reduced mitochondria called hydrogenosomes that generate some energy anaerobically Include Trichomonas vaginalis, the pathogen that causes yeast infections in human females

28 Euglenozoans Euglenozoa is a diverse clade that includes predatory heterotrophs, photosynthetic autotrophs, and pathogenic parasites The main feature distinguishing them as a clade is a spiral or crystalline rod of unknown function inside their flagella This clade includes the kinetoplastids and euglenids

30 Kinetoplastids Kinetoplastids have a single mitochondrion with an organized mass of DNA called a kinetoplast They include free-living consumers of prokaryotes in freshwater, marine, and moist terrestrial ecosystems This group includes Trypanosoma, which causes sleeping sickness in humans Another pathogenic trypanosome causes Chagas disease

35 Dinoflagellates Dinoflagellates are a diverse group of aquatic mixotrophs and heterotrophs They are abundant components of both marine and freshwater phytoplankton Each has a characteristic shape that in many species is reinforced by internal plates of cellulose Video: Dinoflagellate

36 Two flagella make them spin as they move through the water Dinoflagellate blooms are the cause of toxic red tides

38 Apicomplexans Apicomplexans are parasites of animals, and some cause serious human diseases One end, the apex, contains a complex of organelles specialized for penetrating a host They have a nonphotosynthetic plastid, the apicoplast Most have sexual and asexual stages that require two or more different host species for completion

39 The apicomplexan Plasmodium is the parasite that causes malaria Plasmodium requires both mosquitoes and humans to complete its life cycle Approximately 2 million people die each year from malaria Efforts are ongoing to develop vaccines that target this pathogen

41 Ciliates Ciliates, a large varied group of protists, are named for their use of cilia to move and feed They have large macronuclei and small micronuclei The micronuclei function during conjugation, a sexual process that produces genetic variation Conjugation is separate from reproduction, which generally occurs by

45 Stramenopiles The clade Stramenopila includes several groups of heterotrophs as well as certain groups of algae Most have a hairy flagellum paired with a smooth flagellum

47 Diatoms Diatoms are unicellular algae with a unique two-part, glass-like wall of hydrated silica Diatoms usually reproduce asexually, and occasionally sexually

48 Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton and are highly diverse Fossilized diatom walls compose much of the sediments known as diatomaceous earth Video: Diatoms Moving Video: Various Diatoms

51 Golden Algae Golden algae are named for their color, which results from their yellow and brown carotenoids The cells of golden algae are typically biflagellated, with both flagella near one end All golden algae are photosynthetic, and some are also heterotrophic Most are unicellular, but some are colonial

52 Fig Flagellum Outer container Living cell

53 Brown Algae Brown algae are the largest and most complex algae All are multicellular, and most are marine Brown algae include many species commonly called seaweeds Brown algae have the most complex multicellular anatomy of all algae

54 Giant seaweeds called kelps live in deep parts of the ocean The algal body is plantlike but lacks true roots, stems, and leaves and is called a thallus The rootlike holdfast anchors the stemlike stipe, which in turn supports the leaflike blades

55 Fig Blade Stipe Holdfast

56 Alternation of Generations A variety of life cycles have evolved among the multicellular algae The most complex life cycles include an alternation of generations, the alternation of multicellular haploid and diploid forms Heteromorphic generations are structurally different, while isomorphic generations look similar

58 Oomycetes (Water Molds and Their Relatives) Oomycetes include water molds, white rusts, and downy mildews They were once considered fungi based on morphological studies Most oomycetes are decomposers or parasites They have filaments (hyphae) that facilitate nutrient uptake Their ecological impact can be great, as in Phytophthora infestans causing potato

68 Red Algae Red algae are reddish in color due to an accessory pigment call phycoerythrin, which masks the green of chlorophyll The color varies from greenish-red in shallow water to dark red or almost black in deep water Red algae are usually multicellular; the largest are seaweeds Red algae are the most abundant large algae in coastal waters of the tropics

69 Fig Bonnemaisonia hamifera 20 cm 8 mm Dulse (Palmaria palmata) Nori. The red alga Porphyra is the source of a traditional Japanese food. The seaweed is grown on nets in shallow coastal waters. The harvested seaweed is spread on bamboo screens to dry. Paper-thin, glossy sheets of nori make a mineral-rich wrap for rice, seafood, and vegetables in sushi.

72 Green Algae Green algae are named for their grassgreen chloroplasts Plants are descended from the green algae The two main groups are chlorophytes and charophyceans

73 Most chlorophytes live in fresh water, although many are marine Other chlorophytes live in damp soil, as symbionts in lichens, or in snow
