Chytrids had previously been classified with protists because they?

Chytrids were classified with protists because they exhibit characteristics of both fungi and protists, such as having flagellated spores and a similar mode of reproduction. However, they are now considered part of the kingdom Fungi due to genetic evidence showing their evolutionary relationship with other fungi.


Are ciliates unicellular or multi cellular?

Protists include unicellular, colonial and multicellular organisms Most protists are unicellular although (only one group) can be multicellular. There are types of algae, green algae known as Ulva, that are multicellular protists. They begin as colonies of unicellular protists known as Volvax, but the ones that break away are the multicellular version. The multicellular protists are without any specialized tissues. Protists used to be considered soley unicellular. Now that the molecular information has been redifined, protists are both unicellular and multicellular. .


Why is it misguided to try to find your earliest eukaryote ancestor among modern day protists?

It is misguided to try to find our eukaryotic ancestor among modern-day protists because the Protists living today have been through a process of evolution just as extensive as the one that produced every other living organism.

Is pond scum a protist?

Classification of natural species is pretty confusing and sometimes arbitrary. The rules originally used have in some cases been shown to overlap and refute themselves. Also, the term pond scum, can be ambiguous. Sometimes cyanobacteria are called pond scum. They belong to the Kingdom Monera. Other times you may have different types of algae called pond scum, those are indeed classified as protists. So I would say that some kinds of pond scum are protists, and some are bacteria.
