The group of organisms that only include autotrophs?
the protists
Why is it easier to define protists by what they are not rather than by what they are?
It is because protists are very diverse. The group has everything in it that is eukaryotic except for animals, plants and fungi.
Why are prokaryotes not monophyletic?
Protists are a paraphyletic group because animals, fungi, and plants are the crown groups evolved from different lineages of the protists. They aren't included in the same group as protists taxonomically. This explains why the cladists consider the protist a paraphyletic group.
What are protists fungi animals and plants part of the domain eukarya?
If your question is why are protists, fungi, animals, and plants part of the eukaryote group? The answer is because they all contain a true nucleus. Eu means true and karya means nucleus. Eukaryotes are organism with true nucleus. If protists, fungi, animals, and plants all belong to the above group then it seems that all organisms alive must belong to the above group right? Well there are those sometimes bothersome creatures that surround you at all times, they are even around you right now and they are not eukaryotes. No I am not talking about kids, I am talking about bacteria. Bacteria are not in this group because they do not contain a true nucleus. Bacteria contain a more primitive nucleus.
What were the first group of terrestrial plants?
What were the first terrestrial animals?
What makes the protists group unique or different?
Protists are a diverse collection of eukaryotic organisms but they are not plants, fungi, or animals.
Are protists monophyletic polyphyletic or paraphyletic?
Protists are a paraphyletic group because animals, fungi, and plants are the crown groups evolved from different lineages of the protists. They aren't included in the same group as protists taxonomically. This explains why the cladists consider the protist a paraphyletic group.
What group of organisms has members with both plants and animal traits?

Which group of organisms includes only multicellular heterotrophs?
Protists
Which is the group includes organisms all of which are absorptive in their nutrition?
protists
Which group of plants evolve during the mesozoic era and dominant today?
Precambrian

What group of plants was becoming dominant as humans evolved?
Okay first of all, humans did NOT evolve from monkeys or anything like that. So there were NO plants that became dominant as humans evolved. Evolving is for dummies!! :0)
Which group of protists are decomposers?
plankton
