Which phyla of protists is characterized by animals that swim using flagella?

Thee protists are classified in the Zoomastigophora phylum.


Why do scientists have classified protists in one kingdom when they are such a diverse group?

Scientists have classified protists in one kingdom due to their shared characteristics like being eukaryotic and mostly single-celled. While protists are diverse in terms of form and function, they do not fit neatly into the other kingdoms of plants, animals, or fungi. Thus, grouping them together as protists acknowledges their diversity while recognizing their evolutionary relationships.


What plasmodia paramecium and amoeba classified?

Plasmodia are classified as protists, specifically in the phylum Myxomycota. Paramecium is a single-celled protist classified within the phylum Ciliophora. Amoeba is also a single-celled protist, classified within the phylum Lobosa.


What stops scientists from classyfying plant like protists as plants?

Protists and plants are classified in different domains: protists in the domain Eukaryota and plants in the domain Archaeplastida. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that do not fit strictly within the plant kingdom. Plants, on the other hand, have distinct characteristics such as cellulose cell walls and chlorophyll for photosynthesis that differentiate them from protists.

Protists are classified based on their mode of nutrition, cell structure, and reproductive strategies. They are typically grouped into three main categories: plant-like protists (algae), animal-like protists (protozoa), and fungus-like protists. Additional classification may include characteristics such as locomotion, presence of cell walls, and habitat.
