question
hich group is characterized by cells with fine hairlike projections on their flagella? 1. Metazoa 2. Alveolata 3. Stramenopila 4. Rhodophyta 5. Euglenozoa
answer
3. Stramenopila Stramenopiles are characterized by cells that bear fine hairlike projections on their flagella.
question
Which of these algal groups possess a photosynthetic pigment that allows them to live in deep water? 1. red algae 2. diatoms 3. metazoans 4. brown algae 5. green algae
answer
1. red algae The phycobilins and other accessory pigments of red algae allow them to absorb the wavelengths of light that penetrate deep water and to use them in photosynthesis.
question

answer
3. chlorophytes Chlorophytes (green algae), like green plants, contain both chlorophylls a and b.
question
Why are algal blooms harmful to people? 1. People can get paralytic shellfish poisoning during algal blooms. 2. During algal blooms, dinoflagellates produce toxins that kill shellfish. 3. Algal blooms are not harmful; they are just unsightly. 4. During algal blooms, dinoflagellate population densities reach very high levels.
answer
1. People can get paralytic shellfish poisoning during algal blooms.
question
Primary production by photosynthetic protists is considered "primary" because _____. 1. these protists produce chemical energy by fixing CO2 2. these protists are the oldest lineage to photosynthesize 3. these protists are the first to colonize new areas 4. these protists are the most abundant on Earth
answer
1. these protists produce chemical energy by fixing CO2 The term primary refers to the initial step of fixing carbon into a useable form for other organisms.
question
Chloroplasts arose via _____. 1. endosymbiosis of dinoflagellates 2. endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria 3. endosymbiosis of euglenids 4. endosymbiosis of -Proteobacteria
answer
2. endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria Chloroplasts share similar DNA to these photosynthetic bacteria, further supporting the idea of endosymbiosis.
question
Which evidence supports the endosymbiotic hypothesis for the origin of the mitochondrion? 1. Mitochondria have their own ribosomes and manufacture their own proteins. 2. Streptomycin inhibits eukaryotic and mitochondrial ribosomes. 3. Some nuclear genes are vital for the functioning of mitochondria. 4. Mitochondria are much smaller than an average bacterium.
answer
1. Mitochondria have their own ribosomes and manufacture their own proteins.
question
What evidence supports the hypothesis that the nuclear envelope of eukaryotes arose from infolding of the plasma membrane? 1. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes differ in control of gene expression. 2. No modern bacteria have infolded plasma membranes. 3. The nuclear membrane allowed separation of transcription and translation. 4. The nuclear membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of modern eukaryotes are continuous.
answer
4. The nuclear membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of modern eukaryotes are continuous.
