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.
DNA is typically found in cells in the form of a very long strand that is coiled many times and contains thousands or millions of nitrogen bases Which term best describes this very long molecule of D?
chromosomes
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.
Why do you study protists?
Protists are a fairly recent classification for organisms that are not plants, animals or fungi. It can be considered the "junk drawer" of living things. Protists are very interesting, because they are almost like the things they are similar to, but not quite. Amobea, a protozoan or animal-like protist, share many characteristics with animals but are not animals because they are unicellular (one-celled).
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 is dinoflagallets?
Dinoflagellates are unicellular protists which exhibit a great diversity of form. Protists refer to the very first organisms on the Earth.
What term describes the very top of the sky?
The zenith is the very top of the sky
What term describes a very low body temperature?
hypothermia
Term used for both Yup'ik and Inupiat people?
There is no real term that describes both. They are both very different.
Do protists move from place to place?
Protists do move, although they may not move very far, being very tiny creatures.
Is protista unicellular and multicellular?
Multicellular protists are grouped with unicellular protists because multicellular protists are very similar to unicellular protists. A protist is any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungus, or a prokaryote.
Which term best describes an economic condition in which money is very accessible?
Easy money
Which term describes a very low bode temperature?
Hypothermia- A low body temperature
What is a protists made of?
Protists are made up of very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are unicellular.
What term is used to describes very light image or text printed in the background of a document?
watermark
What does paramount mean?
The term of paramount is an adjective that describes something of supreme or very high importance.
What are the example of name of the protist?
Protists are a very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). Some examples are:CiliaFlagellaPseudopodiaAmoeba proteusEuglena gracilis
