Euglena
three distinguishing characteristics of Why is this organism regarded as
this organism: autotrophic:
Phytoflagellated Makes its own food (contain
Autotrophic chloroplasts for photosynthesis to
Stigma covers photoreceptor @ base take place)
of flagellum to allow orientate
towards light
Phylum Euglenozoa
Trypanosoma
What diseases is caused by this African sleeping sickness
parasite:
Intercellular vs Intracellular Intercellular: inhabiting spaces in the host’s
parasite: body
Intracellular: inhabiting cells in the host’s
body
Trypanosoma = intercellular parasite
Distinguishing characteristics of the Zooflagellated
parasite: Undulating membrane
Common name and genus name of Glossina or tsetse flies
vector:
Where is it found in the vector: Salivary glands
Host in life cycle: Human
Where can it be found in the host: Blood and body fluids
Phylum Amoebozoa
Amoeba
three distinguishing Have lobopodia for feeding and locomotion
characteristics: Feed through phagocytosis
They have no shell (test) – “naked”
Pseudopodia: lobopodia
Phylum Sarcomastigophora

Exoskelton composed of: Calcium carbonate
Found in: Marine environments
What happens to dead The tests sink to the bottom of the ocean
organisms:
Pseudopodia: Reticulopodia and filopodia
Phylum Apicomplexa
Plasmodium falciparum (Malaria Parasite)
Intracellular vs intercellular: Intracellular parasite - has an apical
complex that recognizes and penetrates
red blood cells
Distinguishing morphological forms a characteristic ring stage when
, characteristic in blood: in red blood cells, this can be used for
diagnosis of malaria
common name and genus name of Anopheles mosquito
the definitive host:
Where is it found in definitive host: Salivary glands
Intermediate host: Human
2 places found in intermediate host: Liver
Red blood cells
Phylum Ciliophora
Paramecium (Slipper animals)
Three distinguishing Cilia used for locomotion
characteristics: Distinct cytostome or oral groove
Dimorphic nuclei present
Method of locomotion: Cilia
‘Dimorphic nuclei’: one large macronucleus, one or more smaller
micronuclei
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Ciliophora
1. Class Calcarea (Calcareous sponges)
2. Class Hexactinellida (Glass sponges)

Bath sponges: Silica spicules/sponging
Function of spicules: Support
Three types of body forms in Ascon
sponges: Sycon
Leucon
Phylum Cnidaria
Three general characteristics of Diploblastic
cnidarians: Sac body plan
Radial/biradial symmetry
One type of cnidocyte and 2 Nematocyst (stinging cells) used for food
functions: gathering and defense
3 functions of the gastrovascular Digestion
cavity: Exchange of respiratory gases and
metabolic wastes
Discharge of gametes
Distinguish: Gonozooid: Reducing polyp
Gastrozooid: Feeding polyp
Dactylozooid: Defending polyp
Pneumatophore: Gas-filled sac serving as
float
Class Hydrozoa
Hydra
Defens Specialised stinging cells called cnidocytes
e:

Prominent stage: Polyp
Two types of zooids found in polyp Gastrozooid and gonozooid
stage:
Physalia (Portuguese man-of-war)
