Summary Introduction

To determine:

Why overwatering the plants make them more susceptible to infection by some kinds of heterotrophic protists.

Concept introduction:

Protists are simple eukaryotic cells that can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists often have cellular organelles and they demonstrate both animal and plant like characteristics. Protists can be heterotrophic or autotrophic. Heterotrophic protists cannot make their own food.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
A) Protist diseases can be hard to treat because Group of answer choices   some use brown or red pigments, rather than green pigments, for photosynthesis   they have prokaryotic cells   anti-protist medicines have too much selective toxicity   they are heterotrophic   they have evolved defenses that make them invisible to the immune system     B)  A plant without vascular tissues will likely be Group of answer choices small and/or flat   found primarily in dry habitats, such as deserts   tall   unable to photosynthesize   unable to reproduce sexually
Why have molecular biologists sequenced the genomes of severalparasitic protists?
Protists are a group of eukaryotic organisms that are brought together by scientists mostly by convenience. I) What is the relationship between all protists that ties them together? ii) provide an example of a autotrophic and heterotrophic protists group, iii) what is the relationship between the multicellular eukaryotes and the protists?
