Protists and Supergroups

Diatoms – SAR - Stramenopila

Foraminiferans – SAR - Rhizaria

Plasmodial slime molds - Unikonta - Amoebazoans

Trichomonas vaginalis - Excavata - Parabasalids

Giardia intestinalis - Excavata - Diplomonads

Dinoflagellates - SAR - Alveolata

Green algae - Archaeplastida- Chlorophytes

Brown algae - SAR-Stramenopila

Explanation:

Protists are the simplest eukaryotes. Due to their vast diversity of species, they are broadly divided into four supergroups or the clades. They are the Archaeplastida, Excavata, SAR clade, and Unikonta.

Archaeplastida: Interrelated with DNA sequence, cell structure, and endosymbiotic relationships. Divided into red algae, chlorophytes, charophyceans, and the plants. Eg, red algae, green algae, plants.

Excavata: Protists with cytoskeletal features like excavated grooves. This clade includes diplomonads, parabasalids, euglenozoans. Eg., Trichomonas and Giardia species

SAR: Protists interrelated with their DNA sequences and endosymbiotic relationships. Further divided into alveolata, stramenopila, and rhizaria. Eg., diatoms, dinoflagellates

Unikonta: Protists with flagella like structures, pseudopodia, genes fused together. Divided into amoebozoans and opisthokonts. These include slime molds, fungi, entamoebas, animals etc.

9. Describe the function of the:<br> a. stomach<br> b. small intestine<br> c. large intestine

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The stomach helps to store food temporarily. It also secretes gastric juices that digest food.

Most of the digestive process (digestion and absorption of food) takes place in the small intestine.

The funtions of large intestine are temporary storage of undigested and unabsorbed food, reabsorption of water and minerals, elimination of waste products (faeces) through the anus, helps in antibody production and acid reduction, maintaining a large population of bacteria living inside the intestine which produce gas, vitamin K etc.

Explanation:

The food that entered the stomach mixes with the gastric juices (hydrochloric acid and pepsin ) and get broken down into smaller components.

The partly digested food is then passed into the small intestine where the food is mixed with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine and broke it down into smaller molecules (nutrients) which are absorbed into the blood in the small intestine. The inner wall of small intestine has finger-like projections called villi, which contains a network of capillaries and lymphatic vessels. Nutrients are transported to these capillaries and lymphatic vessels from the villi by diffusion. This nutrient rich blood is then pumped through the circulatory system to the other organs.

The undigested and unabsorbed food passes into the large intestine where water and some minerals are reabsorbed back into the blood. The remaining waste products are eliminated through the anus (defecation). The large population of bacteria living inside the large intestine digest some material and creates gas, vitamin K etc. It has some role in antibody production and acid reduction also.

1. Chantelle was given a sample of breakfast cereal to test for carbohydrates. (a) First, she decided to test the sample for glu

klio [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Benedict's solution for the test for glucose in food.

Explanation:

Benedict's solution is a test that is used to check if there is a presence of glucose in a food sample or not. It is possible due to the oxidation of the aldehyde present in the glucose turns to carboxylic acid in presence of the clear blue solution of sodium and copper salts or benedict's solution.

In presence of Benedict's solution the color of the sample turns yellow to orange with an increase in heat, however, the initial color of the solution is aqua blue.

Thus, the correct answer is - Benedict's solution for the test for glucose in food.
