This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 11.2 major phyla protozoa-nabihah yusof, MAJOR PHYLA OF PROTOZOA consist of Phylum Ciliphora (Paramecium sp.), PROTOZOA unique characteristics *eukaryotic *unicellular organism *chemoheterotropic organism *most free living organism *reproduce asexually by fission,budding,or schizogony(multiple fission) *reproduce sexually by conjugation *inhabit water & soil examples:Euglena,Amoeba,Paramecium,&Plasmodium, MAJOR PHYLA OF PROTOZOA consist of Phylum Apicomplexa (Plasmodium sp.), Phylum Apicomplexa (Plasmodium sp.) unique characteristic nonmotile,spore-forming animal parasites -have complex life cycles with sexual& asexual phases -exhibit alternation of haploid & diploid generations, Phylum Ciliphora (Paramecium sp.) ???? unique characteristics, Phylum Ciliphora (Paramecium sp.) ???? -unicellular -heterotropic -have many cilia -locomotion by cilia types of nuclei : -micronuclei > regulate reproduction -macronuclei>regulate metabolism -cellular metabolism -specialzed vacuoles ingest food & contractile vacuoles regulate water balance, -unicellular -heterotropic -have many cilia -locomotion by cilia types of nuclei : -micronuclei > regulate reproduction -macronuclei>regulate metabolism -cellular metabolism -specialzed vacuoles ingest food & contractile vacuoles regulate water balance ???? micronuclei : trassmision of genetic information via sexual processes (conjugation) macronuclei :performs normal cell functions except reproduction contractile vacuole : collects excess water & pumps it out the boday cell
