Which of the following members of the SAR supergroup is incorrectly paired with its clade?a. stramenopiles—brown algaeb. alveolates—parasites such as Plasmodiumc. alveolates—dinoflagellatesd. Rhizaria—diatoms

According to the phylogeny presented in this chapter, which protists are in the same eukaryotic supergroup as plants?a. green algaeb. dinoflagellatesc. red algaed. both A and C

How can dinoflagellates be harmful to humans?a. They are transmitted by mosquitoes and cause malaria.b. They produce toxins that can be absorbed by clams and other shellfish which, when eaten by people, can lead to paralytic shellfish poisoning.c. They cause amoebic dysentery which leads to severe diarrhea and dehydration.d. They are transmitted by tsetse flies and cause 'sleeping sickness.'

Which pair of protists has support structures composed of silica?a. dinoflagellates and diatomsb. diatoms and radiolariansc. radiolarians and foramsd. forams and amoebozoans

Based on the phylogenetic tree in Figure 28.2, which of the following statements is correct?a. The most recent common ancestor of Excavata is older than that of SAR.b. The most recent common ancestor of SAR is older than that of Unikonta.c. The most basal (first to diverge) eukaryotic supergroup cannot be determined.d. Excavata is the most basal eukaryotic supergroup.

In step 3 of the citric acid cycle, the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase is regulated by NADH. Compare and contrast the regulation of this enzyme with the regulation of phosphofructokinase in glycolysis.

Apply what you know of the relationship between the light-capturing reactions and the Calvin cycle to calculate the number of photons used to produce a new G3P and regenerate RuBP. (Assume 1 ATP is produced for each pair of electrons used to form NADPH.)

The text claims that the evolutionary history of protists can be understood as a series of morphological innovations that established seven distinct lineages, each of which subsequently diversified based on innovative ways of feeding, moving, and reproducing. Explain how the Alveolata support this claim.
