Ch 19 Algae and the Origin of Eukaryotic Cells
Origin of Eukaryotic Cells
DNA Structure
prokaryotes
dna is naked
eukaryotes
dna is elaborately packaged
Nuclear Structure and Division
DNA prokaryotes= in cytoplasm
no nucleus
DNA eukaryotes= in nucleus
Organelles
prokaryotes
lack membrane bound organelles
cytoplasm has mainly ribosomes and storage granules
eukaryotes
have nuclei and mitochondria
Origin of Mitochondria and Plastids: The Endosymbiont Theory
endosymbiont theory
plastids and mitochondria arose as prokaryotes that were living symbiotically within an early eukaryotic cell
primary endosymbiosis
gave rise to red algae, green algae, and glaucophytes
secondary endosymbiosis
produced other lines of algae
heterokont
clade of organisms with the synapomorphy of having two different types of flagella
phycoplast
microtubules parallel to the plane of the new cell
new wall formation
Characteristics of Various Groups of Algae
Green Algae
Body Construction in Green Algae
Motile Colonies
cells adhere loosely
cells are similar
Nonmotile Colonies
cells lose their flagella
Filamentous body
cells are held tightly together by middle lamina and cells divide transversely
Membranous body
orientation of cell is divisions controls that new walls occur in two planes
parenchymatous body
cells divide in three planes
siphonous body
karyokinesis occurs without cytokinesis
Life Cycles of Green Algae
dibiontic
alternation of generations between haploid and diploid
monobiontic species
specialization occurs in that only one free-living generation
alternation of generations
type of plant life cycle which a diploid spore-forming plant gives rise to haploid gamete-forming plants
similar=isomorphic
dissimilar=heteromorphic
sexual reproduction gametes
isogamous
identical
anisogamy
slight differences
oogamy
later evolved
gametangia
gametes are produced here
sporangia
spores made here
megasporangia or microsporangia
Representative Genera of Green Algae
unicellular species
Chlamydomonas
simplest chlorophytes
motile colony species
gonium
filamentous
ulothrix
zoospore
spore capable of swimming
laminar species
ulva
coenocytic species
Derbesia
parenchyma species
charophytes
group of green algae is the sister group to true plants
Green Algae and Embroyophytes
streptophytes
charophytes, embryophytes, and most recent common ancestor
Red Algae
approximately 400 genera & 3,900 species
floridean starch
branched polymer of glucose
similar to glucose
agar
culture medium
pit connection
large hole in the wall between two cells
Brown Algae and Their Relatives: The Heterokonts
Brown Algae
almost exclusively marine
littoral zone
region between low tide and high tide
laminarin
storage product of brown algae
receptacles
ends of branches
conceptacles
small cavity where sperm and egg are produced
trumpet cells
resemble sieve tubes
Diatoms
class Bacillariophyceae
two silica shells fit together
Yellow-Green Algae
occurs mostly in freshwater
Golden-Brown Algae
70 genera
325 species
important for past biology
Dinoflagellates
Oomycetes
diverse in structure and nutrition
lack chloroplasts
many unusual characters
motile and unicellular
red tide
bloom of algae in which the cells become so numerous as to give the water a reddish tint
Euglenoids
