Protists

Recall cards on protists: eukaryotic origins (the defining nucleus, the single eukaryotic ancestor, endosymbiotic theory, and the bacterial origins of mitochondria and plastids by primary and secondary endosymbiosis); the general characteristics of protists (habitats, nutrition, motility, cell coverings, and reproduction); the major groups across the six eukaryotic supergroups (Excavata, Chromalveolata, Archaeplastida, Rhizaria, Amoebozoa, and Opisthokonta, with their representative diplomonads, parabasalids, euglenozoans, dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, ciliates, diatoms, algae, foraminiferans, radiolarians, amoebas, slime molds, and choanoflagellates); and the ecology of protists (primary production, symbioses with coral, and human diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and potato blight).
