Why are some protists more closely related to other kingdoms than to members of their own kingdom?

Because they are more different than they are alike.

What are two characteristics of protists?
All protists havee nuclei and are unicellular.
What domain is protista in?
All protists belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya, members of which are characterised by having cells with nuclei. Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Protista, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Animalia.
Are the categories animal like plant like or fungus like useful in classifying protists?
No, because protist is any organism that is not a plant, animal, a fungus, or a prokaryote. Protists are eukaryotes that aren't members of the kingdoms plantae, anamalia, or fungi.
What is a characteristic of members of the kingdom Monera or Archaebacteria and Eubacteria that distinguishes them from members of all other kingdoms?
absence of a cellular nucleus
Bacteria are members of which kingdoms?
Bacteria is a member of the (Archaebacteria and Eubacteria) member because their used to be 5 kingdoms, so the scientist realized that there was 2 different kingdoms so they decided to make another one which was the 6 kingdom.The 5 kingdom was called Monera.
Which kingdom is many celled and contain chlorophyll?
In the five kingdom system, the three kingdoms that have organisms capable of photosynthesis are some bacteria (mainly cyanobacteria) in the Kingdom Monera, algae in the Kingdom Protista, and plants in the Kingdom Plantae.
How are members of the kingdom fungi different from members of the kingdoms plantae?
Members of the kingdom Fungi are Heterotrophs and the Members of the kingdom Plantae are Photosynthetic Autotrophs.
Which three kingdoms have members that are photosynthetic?
Plantae: Consists of all plants that are capable of photosynthesis. Protista: Includes various algae species that can perform photosynthesis. Bacteria: Some species of bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, are photosynthetic organisms.
What are two characteristics of protists?
All protists havee nuclei and are unicellular.
Why might protista be thought of as the odds and ends kingdom?
Kingdom Protista is composed of eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi. Of the six kingdoms, Protista is the least accurate classification, because of the variety its members display.
The kingdom with only unicellular organisms is?
There is no single kingdom that is unicellular. All prokaryotes (organisms with no cell nucleus) are unicellular, and they belong to two domains, bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotes, or organisms with a cell nucleus, are divided into four kingdoms, plants, fungi, animals, and protists (although recently scientists began to reclassify protists into multiple separate kingdoms). In each of the fungi and protist kingdoms, there are a variety of members that are unicellular, and also some members that are multicellular. Animals and plants are always multicellular (except possibly one animal group called Myxozoa).
Members of the kingdom plantae differ from members of the other kingdoms of Eukarya in that most members of the kingdom Plantae?
Plants and other members of the Plantae kingdom are particularly different from the other Eukarya kingdoms in that plants make their own food, usually from the sun's energy. Animals and such have to consume their nutrients from external sources.
One main difference between members of the kingdoms plantae and animalia?
One main difference between members of the kingdom Plantae and Animalia is their mode of nutrition. Plants are autotrophic, which means they produce their own food through photosynthesis, while animals are heterotrophic, meaning they need to consume other organisms for energy.
What kingdoms that are made up of members without a nucleus in their cells?
Protoctista Kingdom
What group of organisms is the ancestral group to all members of the Plant Kingdom?
The protists, specifically the plant-like protists such as algae.
What kingdom can all members move around?
protists-some but not all. Animalia-all of them move
Is a characteristic of members of the kingdom Monera or Archaebacteria and Eubacteria that distinguishes them from members of all other kingdoms?
absence of a cellular nucleus
