Question

Why are protists and fungi placed in the same domain? (2 points)

Answer 1

Protist and fungi are placed in the same domain because both have a true nucleus, have complex cellular organelles, are large, and Eukaryotic.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is: they are Eukaryotes.

Explanation:

In the field of Biology, there are a few different ways to group the hugely different species of organisms that exist in our world. One of these ways is the Three-domain system, that classifies the species into three groups: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Domain Archaea involve ancient bacteria that are very different from the bacteria we know. These organisms thrive in extremely harsh environments.

Domain Bacteria includes all bacteria that are not ancient. Bacteria are prokaryotic and tend to thrive in the same spaces humans do.

Domain Eukarya groups all eukaryotic organisms: protists, fungi, plants, and animals. Protists and fungi are placed in this group together and along with the other two because they all have a membrane-bound nucleus, have many complex cell organelles and are Eukaryotes.
