Question

While snorkeling in the ocean you find large, leafy organisms that are brownish in color growing in large masses. You are unsure whether they are protists since they look quite plant-like. If they are actually protists, what characteristic will the organism’s cells exhibit?

a. Each of the cells in the organism will have its own nucleus.
b. The cells will form a colony with separate groups of cells doing various jobs.
c. The cells will form a colony without differentiating into separate tissues.
d. Most of the cells in the organism will have cilia or flagella.

Answer 1

Answer: Each of the cells in the organism will have its own nucleus.

Explanation: In protists all the cells have nucleus'. If the cells do not have a nucleus than it is not a protist.

Answer 2

Protists = eukaryotic organisms tgat are mostly classfies as unicellular/ mostly seperate nuclear division phases of mitosis doesnt occur

for now we know that it is not d (bacteria) or a (too board)
c and b show describe a word called 'cell specialisation'
i think the answer is c since it is said to be mostly unicellular and we know that single cell doesnt have much specilaised cell

idk
