Euglena
- 2 anterior (and unequal flagella
• attached at reservoir
-Contractile vacuoles - collect excess water
- Stigma- movement towards light
- Small chloroplasts
• ingestion of green algaeEuglenozoa
Eugenics & kinetoplastids
Kinetoplastids
Trypanosomes
- difficult to control b/c organisms repeatedly change protective coat
Methods
• Release of sterilized flies
• Traps that are scented like
cows but treated with
insecticidesChromalveolates
Supergroup of 2 branches: alveolares and stramebopilia
May arisen by one or more secondary endosymbiosis
Alveolata
Flattened vesicles called alveoli Includes Dinoflagellates Apicocomplexans Ciliates Common lineage despite diverse modes of locomotion
Dinoflagellates
- Photosynthetic, unicellular,
flagella
- Aquatic environment
- Some luminescent
- Don't appear to be directly
related to any other phylum
- "Red tide" are "blooms"
• fish birds marine mamms
may die from toxinsApicoconplexans
Other apicocomplexans
Ciliates
Parmecium

Stramenopila
Brown Algae
- Conspicuous seaweeds in
northern regions
- Life cycle involves alt. of
generations
• sporophyte: multicell & diploid
• gametophytes: multicell &
haploid
- Not plantsDiatoms
Oomycetea
Archae plastids
Group consist of Rgodophyta, chlorophyta, & land plants
- acquired chloroplasts through primary endosymbiosis
Rhydophta
Green algae
Land plants arose from ancestral green alga only 1ce during evolution
Group green algae consists of 2 groups:
Unicellular chlorophyta
