Microbial Origins and Protist Diversity


Froggy Jumps Microbial Origins and Protist DiversityOnline version Microbial basics & endosymbiosis by Faith 1 What is a microorganism and how do archaea, bacteria, and protists relate on a phylogenetic tree? a Microorganisms are only bacteria; archaea and protists are not real. b Microorganisms are large organisms; archaea, bacteria, and protists are all plants. c Microorganisms are tiny organisms; archaea, bacteria, and protists are distinct lineages within the 2 What are two key outcomes of horizontal gene transfer in microbes? a Increases genetic diversity and can spread advantageous traits b Eliminates gene flow between populations and causes sterility c Decreases mutation rate and stabilizes genomes 3 Why are archaea ecologically and evolutionarily important? a They occupy unique niches and illuminate early life and extreme environments b They directly cause most human diseases and infections c They are the only producers of oxygen in the world 4 How do bacterial populations typically grow and why is structural diversity important? a They multiply by binary fission, with diverse cell shapes aiding adaptation b They grow by sporulation only, shapes have no impact c They do not reproduce; populations are static 5 What roles do cyanobacteria and proteobacteria play and how are they involved in endosymbiosis? a Cyanobacteria cause all plant diseases; proteobacteria are algae b Cyanobacteria contributed to chloroplasts; proteobacteria to mitochondria via endosymbiosis c They are inert; neither involved in endosymbiosis nor organelle formation 6 What is the two-stage hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotic cells and what evidence supports endosymbiosis? a Single-origin nucleus and lysosome formation; no organelle evidence b Infolding membranes plus acquisition of mitochondria/chloroplast ancestors; organelle features suppo c Eukaryotes arose from fungi only; endosymbiosis is a myth 7 How are protists defined and how do algae, protozoa, and fungus-like protists differ? a Protists are plants only; algae are animals, protozoa are bacteria b Protists are viruses; algae, protozoa, and fungi are the same group c Protists are diverse eukaryotes; algae photosynthesize, protozoa ingest, fungus-like resemble fungi 8 How did phagocytosis contribute to endosymbiosis? a Phagocytosis only occurs in plants and not in protists b Engulfment allowed symbiotic bacteria to become organelles c Phagocytosis destroyed early symbionts, preventing endosymbiosis 9 What three insights do volvocine algae provide about multicellularity evolution? a They disprove any connection to multicellularity b Photosynthesis only, no cellular cooperation c Differentiation, division of labor, and life-cycle complexity 10 Name the three main methods of protist reproduction. a Pollination, fertilization, and seed formation b Asexual fission, budding, and sexual cycles with meiosis c Binary fission only

What is a microorganism and how do archaea, bacteria, and protists relate on a phylogenetic tree?

What are two key outcomes of horizontal gene transfer in microbes?

Why are archaea ecologically and evolutionarily important?

How do bacterial populations typically grow and why is structural diversity important?

What roles do cyanobacteria and proteobacteria play and how are they involved in endosymbiosis?

What is the two-stage hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotic cells and what evidence supports endosymbiosis?

How are protists defined and how do algae, protozoa, and fungus-like protists differ?

How did phagocytosis contribute to endosymbiosis?

What three insights do volvocine algae provide about multicellularity evolution?

Name the three main methods of protist reproduction.
