Actin
Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments in the cytoskeleton, and the thin filaments in muscle fibrils.
Agelas clathrodes
Agelas clathrodes, also known as the orange elephant ear sponge, is a species of sea sponge.
See Filozoa and Agelas clathrodes
Alcyonacea
Alcyonacea are an order of sessile colonial cnidarians that are found throughout the oceans of the world, especially in the deep sea, polar waters, tropics and subtropics.
Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.
Aphelida
Aphelida is a phylum of Fungi that appears to be the sister to true fungi.
Capsaspora
Capsaspora is a monotypic genus containing the single species Capsaspora owczarzaki. C. owczarzaki is a single-celled eukaryote that occupies a key phylogenetic position in our understanding of the origin of animal multicellularity, as one of the closest unicellular relatives to animals.
Choanoflagellate
The choanoflagellates are a group of free-living unicellular and colonial flagellate eukaryotes considered to be the closest living relatives of the animals.
See Filozoa and Choanoflagellate
Choanozoa
Choanozoa is a clade of opisthokont eukaryotes consisting of the choanoflagellates (Choanoflagellatea) and the animals (Animalia, Metazoa). Filozoa and Choanozoa are Holozoa and opisthokont unranked clades.
Cilium
The cilium (cilia;; in anatomy, cilium is an eyelash) is a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic cell.
Clade
In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.
Corallochytrium
Corallochytrium belongs to the class of Corallochytrea within Teretosporea and is a sister group to Ichthyosporea.
See Filozoa and Corallochytrium
Cristidiscoidea
Cristidiscoidea or Nucleariae is a proposed basal holomycota clade in which Fonticula and Nucleariida emerged, as sister of the fungi.
See Filozoa and Cristidiscoidea
Filasterea
Filasterea is a proposed basal Filozoan clade of single-celled ameboid eukaryotes that includes Ministeria and Capsaspora. Filozoa and Filasterea are Holozoa.
Filopodia
Filopodia (filopodium) are slender cytoplasmic projections that extend beyond the leading edge of lamellipodia in migrating cells.
Flagellate
A flagellate is a cell or organism with one or more whip-like appendages called flagella.
Flagellum
A flagellum (flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (zoospores), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.
Fonticula
Fonticula is a genus of cellular slime mold which forms a fruiting body in a volcano shape.
Fungus
A fungus (fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Holomycota
Holomycota or Nucletmycea are a basal Opisthokont clade as sister of the Holozoa. Filozoa and Holomycota are opisthokont unranked clades.
Holozoa
Holozoa is a clade of organisms that includes animals and their closest single-celled relatives, but excludes fungi and all other organisms. Filozoa and Holozoa are opisthokont unranked clades.
Hypha
A hypha (hyphae) is a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus, oomycete, or actinobacterium.
Ichthyosporea
The Ichthyosporea (or DRIP clade, or Mesomycetozoea) are a small group of Opisthokonta in Eukaryota (formerly protists), mostly parasites of fish and other animals.
Iciligorgia schrammi
Iciligorgia schrammi, common names deepwater sea fan and black sea fan is a species of gorgonian sea fan in the family Anthothelidae.
See Filozoa and Iciligorgia schrammi
Microsporidia
Microsporidia are a group of spore-forming unicellular parasites.
Microvillus
Microvilli (microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area for diffusion and minimize any increase in volume, and are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechanotransduction.
Ministeria
Ministeria is a genus of Filasterea.
Monophyly
In biological cladistics for the classification of organisms, monophyly is the condition of a taxonomic grouping being a clade – that is, a grouping of taxa which meets these criteria.
Nucleariida
Nucleariida is a group of amoebae with filose pseudopods, known mostly from soils and freshwater.
Opisthokont
The opisthokonts are a broad group of eukaryotes, including both the animal and fungus kingdoms.
Opisthosporidia
Opisthosporidia is a superphylum of intracellular parasites with amoeboid vegetative stage, defined as a common group of eukaryotic groups Microsporidia, Cryptomycota (also known as Rozellida, Rozellomycota, or Rozellosporidia) and Aphelidea. Filozoa and Opisthosporidia are opisthokont unranked clades.
See Filozoa and Opisthosporidia
Organism
An organism is defined in a medical dictionary as any living thing that functions as an individual.
Phylogenetic tree
A phylogenetic tree, phylogeny or evolutionary tree is a graphical representation which shows the evolutionary history between a set of species or taxa during a specific time.
See Filozoa and Phylogenetic tree
Plexaurella nutans
Plexaurella nutans, the giant slit-pore sea rod, is a tall species of soft coral in the family Plexauridae.
See Filozoa and Plexaurella nutans
Pluriformea
Pluriformea is a proposed sibling clade of the Filozoa, and consists of Syssomonas multiformis and the Corallochytrea. Filozoa and Pluriformea are Holozoa.
Rhizoid
Rhizoids are protuberances that extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes and algae.
Rozella
Rozella is a fungal genus of obligate endoparasites of a variety of hosts, including Oomycota, Chytridiomycota, and Blastocladiomycota.
Rozellida
Cryptomycota ('hidden fungi'), Rozellida, or Rozellomycota are a clade of micro-organisms that are either fungi or a sister group to fungi.
Sponge
Sponges (also known as sea sponges), the members of the phylum Porifera (meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts.
Syssomonas
Syssomonas is a monotypic genus of unicellular flagellated protists containing the species Syssomonas multiformis.
Unicellular organism
A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of a single cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells.
