Distinguishing features of Kingdom Protista

Answer 1

Kingdom Prokaryotae can be distinguished by: * Prokayotic cell structure * lack the nuclei and chromosomes of eukaryotic cells and have smaller ribosomes * Have tendency to spread genetic element across species barriers by sexual conjugation viral transduction, etc. * produce rapidly by binary fission and absence of sex * evolved variety of metabolism types * taxonomically identified by their appearance and biochemical differences

Answer 2

Distinguishing characters of fungi are:

1.It is a plant like microscopic multicellular organism living on a nutrient substrate.

2.They are achlorophyllous,heterotrophic thallophytes.

3.Every fungi contains mass of interwoven hyphae is called mycelium.

4.The mycelium may be unicellular or multicellular.

5.Fungi have definie cell wall made up of chitin.

6They have reserved food material in the form of glycogen or oil-droplets

7.They reproduce vegetatively by fragmentation,asexually by spores and sexually by gamates.

Answer 3

Multicelluar organisms (Most can photosynthesize and contain chlorophyll)

Cell wall made of cellulose: Food is stored as starch

Subdivided into two major divisions based on tissue structure: Bryophytes (non-vascular) and Tracheophytes (vascular) plants

Answer 4

Kingdom Protista can be distinguished by:

- Unicellular or simple multicellular structures

- Some can survive in harsh conditions

- Found anywhere there is moisture
