<h3>Answer:</h3>

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

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let's break it down!

~~~

A. Protists are all <u>heterotrophic</u>.

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

<em>The following statement is TRUE... The protist is classified as </em><em>either</em><em> </em><u><em>autotrophs</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>heterotrophs</em></u><em>.</em>

~~~

B. Protists can't <u>live in freshwater</u>.

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

<em>TRUE... Nearly </em><em>all protists exist</em><em> in </em><u><em>some type of aquatic environment</em></u><em>, </em><u><em>including freshwater</em></u><em>.</em>

~~~

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

The given statement in answer choice C. is CORRECT!

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

~~~

D. Protists are all <u>parasitic</u>.

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

<em>TRUE... </em><em>Many</em><em> protists are </em><u><em>pathogenic </em></u><u><em>parasites</em></u><em> that must infect other organisms to survive and propagate.</em>

<em>~~~</em>

Therefore, the correct answer choice is C.

<span>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.</span>

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.
