Document Summary
Learning objectives: students should be able to Lecture outline: protists are eukaryotes, fundament al features of eukaryotes: 29. 1: as a group, protists are paraphyletic: they include some, but not all, descendants of the common ancestor of eukaryotes, protists tend to live in or near water. (fig. 29. 6: seven major groups of eukaryotes have been identified in this way, based on diagnostic morphological features (synapomorphies) that either protect or support the cell, or aid in reproduction or feeding. (table 29. 2) Freeman, biological science, 4e, chapter 29: evaluating molecular phylogenies, dna sequence analysis has demonstrated that the seven major eukaryotic groups are indeed monophyletic. (fig. 29. 10: students should be able to describe how the chloroplast arose by endosymbiosis. Freeman, biological science, 4e, chapter 29: protists that feed by engulfing typically lack a cell wall and can move their plasma membranes around their prey using pseudopodia. (fig.
