Give three examples of protists for which the classifications haverecently changed. In each case, what was the justification for the oldcategory, and what is the justification for the change?
Which type of protist shows characteristics that make it difficult to classify as either plant-like or animal-like?
1.Diatom
2.Amoeba
3.Euglenoid
4.Ciliates
Explain how the definition of protists ensures that the kingdom Protista includes a wide diversity of cellular structures. Provide an example of two different structures that perform the same function for their respective protist.
