For your protist, please answer the following questions: 1. What protist did you select? 2. What supergroup is your protist in? 3. What is your protist's metabolism (how does it get energy) and what name would be given based on this (e.g. heterotrophic)? 4. Is your protist protozoa, algae, or fungi-like and what does that mean? 5. Describe the general appearance of your protist. 6. What habitat is your protist found in? 7. List two interesting facts about your protist.

Amoeba, Paramecuim, and Spirogyra are diverse. Why, then, are they all classified as protists?
How are members of the kingdom Eubacteria similar to members of the kingdom Protista? How are members of the kingdom Eubacteria different from members of the kingdom Protista? How do fungi get their food? ________________________________________________ Why are plants and fungi placed in separate kingdoms? _______________________________________ How has technology affected classification? _________________________________________________ You are a taxonomist who has just discovered a new organism and you have to place it into one of the kingdoms. The organism seems to make its own food by utilizing its chlorophyll. The organism is only one cell big and is capable of moving freely. In addition to chlorophyll, the organism has several other organelles, including a nucleus. Which kingdom does your organism belong to? Make sure to support your answer with facts from the chart above
If you were to create an evolutionary tree in which amoebas were included within the kingdom of organisms to which they were the most closely related (rather than with protists, where they are currently placed), where would you put them?
What distinguishes protists from prokaryotes? What distinguishes protists from fungi, land plants, and animals?
Bulleted items are choices for questions Protists, as a group, represent one of the kingdoms of organisms in the eukaryotic domain. In the other kingdoms, the organisms grouped within a kingdom are very closely related and share many unifying features. The many different organisms grouped as protists are not necessarily closely related, and many different types of traits are represented among them. Review the following list of statements, and select which statements are correct descriptions of protists. Check all that apply. Protists represent both heterotrophic and autotrophic nutritional modes. Some protists are colonial. No protists are multicellular. The phylogenetic tree displayed here shows the evolution and relationships between different major protist groups, as scientists currently understand them. It also shows how these different groups of protists are related to animals, fungi, and land plants. The protist groups are highlighted in tan boxes.…
Why is 'protists' considered a polyphyletic grouping? Why do biologists still use it?
A) A major difference between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells Group of answer choices exhibit little if any compartmentalization of function are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells have a large degree of internal organization lack organelles have little if any internal organization B) Which of the following statements about protists is false? Group of answer choices Some protists are mixotrophic Certain protists share a common ancestor with land plants Some protists are photosynthetic prokaryotes which are similar to the ancestral chloroplast Protists are a polyphyletic group of organisms that often bear little resemblance to each other Although most protists are unicellular, some protists are multicellular as well
If an ancestral protist was classified as an opisthokont, then what should be true of this protist? -They should also have given rise to the plants. -They should perform heterotrophy by secretion of exoenzymes. -Like diplomonads and parabasalids, they should bear multiple flagella. -They should be parasitic -They should be the common ancestor of the basidiomycetes and animals.
You are given five test tubes, each containing an unknown protist, and your task is to read the description below and match these five protists that you know to the correct test tube. -Paramecium -Pfiesteria (dinoflagellate) -Navicula (diatom) -Plasmodium -Amoeba In test tube 1, you sketch the organism and come up with a picture that looks like the one below. You note the organism appears to be “eating” the smaller microorganism. Chemical analysis of test tube 2 indicates the presence of a chemical that is toxic to fish and humans. In test tube 3, you detect the presence of substantial amounts of silica. Microscopic analysis of organisms in tube 4 reveals the presence of an apicoplast in the organism Microscopic analysis of the contents in tube 5 reveals the presence of one large macronucleus and several small micronuclei in each organism Match the description with the correct protist
Which of the following is not true of the protists? (a) they are unicellular, colonial, coenocytic, or simple multicellular organisms (b) their cilia and flagella have a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules (c) they are prokaryotic, as bacteria and archaea are (d) some are free-living, and some are endosymbionts (e) most are aquatic and live in the ocean or in freshwater ponds
