Alveolate - Wikipedia
The alveolates (meaning "pitted like a honeycomb") [ 2 ] are a group of protists, considered a major clade [ 3 ] and superphylum [ 4 ] within Eukarya. They are currently grouped with the stramenopiles and Rhizaria among the protists with tubulocristate mitochondria into …
Alveolata - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Alveolata A monophyletic taxon composed primarily of dinoflagellates (half of which contain a peridinin plastid), parasitic apicomplexans (with a nonphotosynthetic plastid called the apicoplast), and ciliates (lacking any plastids); a common feature of alveolates is the presence of alveoli, flattened membranous sacs that subtend their plasma ...
Introduction to the Alveolates - University of California Museum of ...
Alveoplates include some of the most familiar and numerous protist groups, including the Ciliata, or ciliates, such as Paramecium and Stentor. The ciliates are the most diverse group of heterotrophic protists, with 7000 species. Also very diverse, …
23.3B: Chromalveolata- Alveolates - Biology LibreTexts
Alveolates are defined by the presence of an alveolus beneath the cell membrane and include dinoflagellates, apicomplexans and ciliates. Alveolates are classified under the group Chromalveolata which developed as a result of a secondary endosymbiotic event.
Cortical alveolum - Wikipedia
Cortical alveoli are the defining cellular characteristic of the protist clade Alveolata, otherwise united solely by molecular phylogeny. [3]
Palaeos Eukarya: Alveolata
Alveolata is a high-order group of Eukarya whose principal members include (a) the Ciliophora (e.g., Paramecium), (b) a large group of revolting parasites called the Apicomplexa (e.g. Plasmodium, the organism responsible for malaria), and (c) the dinoflagellates, a hugely successful group of marine photosynthetic organisms. In addition, the ...

The Alveolata is a monophyletic group of primarily single-celled eukaryotes that have adopted extremely diverse modes of nutrition, such as predation, photoautotrophy and intracellular parasitism.
Alveolata - Microbial Eukaryotes
Alveolata have the common characteristics of having vesicles positioned just under their plasma membrane, forming a kind of alveoli (Figure 294). Their mitochondria have tubular ridges. The alveoli have allowed the evolution of attributes specific to each evolutionary lineage.
