Certain protists species cause human disease that are difficult to treat and are often deadly. How does the evolutionary relatedness of humans and protists explain the difficultly of treating a person infected with a pathogenic protist?
A principle of biology is that biology affects our society. Whyare the cysts of protists important to epidemiologists, thebiologists who study the spread of disease?
Why are the protists no longer considered a kingdom?
