What are one-celled microorganisms that live in pond water called?
protists
Why is it difficult to identify protists?
There are so few fossils of certain groups of protists because protists do not live in places were it would be possible for them to fossilize. They have not expirienced something that would make them fossils (protists live in wet or moist envoirnments- not on mountains, were erosion and other forms of decay is expected).
Why are fungus like protists not members of the kingdom fungi?
plants contain cellulose in their cell wall while fungi contains chitin as a major component of its cell wall.Besides fungi are absorptive heterotrophs while plants are photosynthetic autotrophs.fungi lacks centrioles and contains chitin in its cell wall(as described earlier) but certain protists have centrioles and produce cellulose in their cell wall.some protists also contain some pigments like Chl.a Chl.b caroteins etc while fungi does not.Due to these reasons Fungi has separate kingdom.
What type of environment do protists live in?
wet environments such as: snow, streams, ponds, lakes, and wet soil. They do not live in water that has chlorine like pools.
What are true statements of the kingdom Protista?
Protists that are classified as animal-like are called protozoans and share some common traits with animals.All animal-like protists are heterotrophs. Likewise, all animal-like protists are able to move in their environment in order to find their food.Unlike, animals, however, animal-like protists are all unicellular. The are all eukaryotes.Fungus-like protists are heterotrophs with cell walls. They also reproduce by forming spores. All fungus-like protists are able to move at some point in their lives. There are essentially three types of fungus-like protists: water molds, downy mildews, and slime molds.Plant-like protists are autotrophic. They can live in soil, on the bark of trees, in fresh water, and in salt water. These protists are very important to the Earth because they produce a lot of oxygen, and most living things need oxygen to survive.Furthermore, these plant-like protists form the base of aquatic food chains. These plant-like protists can be unicellular, multicellular, or live in colonies. The plant-like protists are divided into four basic groups: euglenoids, dinoflagellates, diatoms, and algae.
Where protists live?
protists live in water
Where spore forming protists live?
where do spore forming protists live
Where do animal like protists live?
Animal-like protists live in moist and damp places
Do all protists live in dry surroundings?
No. Protists can live in oceans, ponds, and streams. They can also live in human and animal digestive tracts.
What kind of surroundings do protists live in?
Protists live in oceans, streams, ponds, and also human and animal digestive tracts.
What domain to protists live in?
Protists can live in a large range of environments, including what are known as "extreme" environments. But most protists live in moist/ damp environments like ponds, swamps, lakes, creeks, that kind of thing.
Do protists and archaea live together in colonies?
No, archaea and protists are very similar but they do not live together in colonies. Protists is anything that doesn't fit in the category of the other kingdoms. Hope this helped!
What describes all protist?
The answer is: Protists are organisms that are classified into the kingdom Protista. The protists form a group of organisms that really do not fit into any other kingdom. Although there is a lot of variety within the protists, they do share some common characteristics.All protists are eukaryotic. That is, all protists have cells with nuclei. In addition, all protists live in moist environments.Protists can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists can be microscopic or can be over 100 meters (300 feet) long. Some protists are heterotrophs, while others are autotrophs.Since protists vary so much, we will group them into three subcategories: animal-like protists, fungus-like protists, and plant-like protists.
Where do fungus like protists live?
They live on Scott Stancil
What is the difference between animal like protists and fungi like protists?
fungi can live longer
Do some protists live in ponds?
Yes, protists live in ponds. I think so. I have been trying to figure it out for my science homework and I think they do.
Protists live almost anywhere there is?
Water
