The process by which a unicellular organism engulfs another cell, which becomes an endosymbiont then organelle in the host cell

This type of Apicomplexan is responsible for malaria
Plasmodium
This type of Excavata is responsible for traveler's diarrhea
Diplomonads
Contain modified mitochondria called mitosomes
Diplomonads
This type of Excavata is responsible for tichomonas vaginalis
Parabasalids
Contain reduced mitochondria called hydrenosomes
Parabasalids
This member of euglenozoans is responsible for sleeping sickness and Chaga's disease
Trypanosomes
Contain membrane-bound sacs just under the plasma membrane
Alveolates
Contains two flagella, each reinforced by cellulose plates; causes "red tide"
Dinoflagellates
Contains 2 nucleae
Ciliata
Found in Ciliata
Paramecium
Contains hairy flagellum paired with smooth flagellum
Stramenopila
Unicellular algae with unique two-part shells; major component of phytoplankton
Diatoms
Multicellular, mostly marine; often referred to as seaweek or giant kelp
Brown algae
The alternation of multicellular haploid and diploid forms
Alternation of Generations
Generations are structurally different
Heteromorphic
Generations look similar
Isomorphic
Helps amoebas move and feed
Pseudopodia
Have tests fused to one delicate piece, usually made of silica
Radiolarians
Multicellular, mostly marine; often referred to as seaweed or giant kelp
Brown algae
Accessory pigment that causes red color; masks chloroplast
Phycoerythrin
This branch of Archaeoplastida and green algae is most closely related to land plants
Charophytes
Common unicellular amoebas in soil and water
Gymnamoebas
Causes amebic dysentery, the 3rd leading cause of human death due to eukaryotic parasites
Entamoeba histolytica
