Question
You are a biologist that discovers three new species while on a trip to the South Asian rainforest. The three organisms have the following characteristics. Species 1a Cell wall composed of cellulose Presence of pyrenoid and eye-spot Presence of flagella Presence of trichocyst-type structures Found inhibiting water contained in bromeliads in the forest canopy Species a: Filamentous body Cell wall composed of a polysaccharide more similar to peptidoglycan than other structural (a carotenoid) in cells. carbohydrates and chemical analysis indicated the presence of zeaxanthin Flagellated zoospores Parasitizes eggs of ground nesting birds Species 3: Herbaceous Stem Presence of a single type of vascular tissue similar to hydroids in some mosses Spores found attached to underside of some small leaf-life structures Largest collected and observed specimens were only 9cm high Into which kingdom(s) would you place these 3 organisms? Why? Would you place them in a known phylum or create a new one? Why? What additional information Ci.e. organism structures) could you use to strengthen your argument?Explanation / Answer
Protista Kingdom have eye spot and trichocyst structures. these all characters have similarity with the group euglenoids and green algae.
2. Phylum fungi have different kind of sports called as zoospores and aplanospores. these sports have flagella for the motility. the fungi have filamentous body structure and cell wall composed of polysaccharide or carbohydrates.
3. These the fly Phylum planteae organisms.
the belongs to the group Bryophyta.
they have vascular tissue for the transport of molecules. they have small leaf like structures and less complex body organization.
