<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Correct answer is... C. Protists are a catch-all group for eukaryotes that aren't plants, fungi, or animals.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let's break it down!

~~~

A. Protists are all heterotrophic.

The given statement in answer choice A. is (partially correct) FALSE.

The following statement is TRUE... The protist is classified as either autotrophs or heterotrophs.

~~~

B. Protists can't live in freshwater.

The given statement in answer choice B. is also FALSE.

TRUE... Nearly all protists exist in some type of aquatic environment, including freshwater.

~~~

C. Protists are a catch-all group for eukaryotes that aren't plants, fungi, or animals.

The given statement in answer choice C. is CORRECT!

TRUE... As the catchall term for eukaryotic organisms that are not animals, plants, fungi, or any single phylogenetically related group, it is not surprising that few characteristics are common to all protists.

~~~

D. Protists are all parasitic.

The given statement in answer choice D. is (partially correct) FALSE.

TRUE... Many protists are pathogenic parasites that must infect other organisms to survive and propagate.

~~~

Therefore, the correct answer choice is C.

Respiration is the transformation of glucose to ATP, which is energy that the body can use.
Respiration consists of several steps: glycolysis, TCA/Krebs/Citric acid sycle and at last the oxidative phosphorylation.
The molecules needed for this to happen is water, oxygen (O2), NADH, ATP and glucose.

ikadub [295]

This theory is called punctuated equilibrium. In this theory it is explained that there are very long periods of no change at all to a species, yet there are also bursts of evolutionary change interspersed within the time period. The period of remaining the same throughout time (most of the time) is called stasis, and is present within this theory of punctuated equilibrium.

Furkat [3]

The answer is nuclear imaging. A subject is asked to take in a radionuclide (radioactive isotopes) and as the radioactive material passes though the body, it continually emits radiation that is detectable by an instrument such as a gamma camera. Examples of nuclear imaging techniques are SPECT and PET.

A biologist grows bacterial cultures to see if there is a relationship between time and growth rate. Here are the data. Which hy

shusha [124]

Answer:

Direct relationship.

Explanation:

There is direct relationship between growth rates and time which means growth rate of organism increases with the passage of time. Direct relationship means if one increases the other automatically increases and if one decreases, the other also decreases. The growth of bacteria becomes double when more time passes and vice versa. After every 20 minutes, the population of bacteria becomes double.
