Which of the following is an example of fungus-like protist?
Group of answer choices
golden algae
rhizopus
plasmodial slime molds
truffles
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
