By process of elimination you can find the right answer. We know for a fact that carbon is found in all living organisms. That is why we talk about carbon based life forms. So the first statement cannot be true. You can figure out how many Valence electrons an element has by looking at the group number. The group number of carbon is 4 so the 2nd statement cannot be true. We know that carbon does bond with other elements because it is not a noble gas and therefore must be able to form compounds.
This means the answer must be they can form up to four covalent bonds

Which characteristic do all protists have?

myrzilka [38]

Answer: They all survive in any environment.

Explanation: Protists have the ability to survive in any environment, even extreme environment. They can live in the ocean, desert or extremely hot environment, or even a extremely cold environment.

I'll explain why the others aren't correct.

Protists can be both unicellular and multicellular, they're not always unicellular. Kingdom Protista contains all eukaryotics, so they're not always unicelluar.

Protist cannot make or consume food. Animals consume food, and plants make food, not protista. Yes they're many plant-like protists out there, such as algae, they get their food from the sun above. So all protists cannot make or consume food.

Protist does have flagella, but not all protists. Protists that are motile and generate movement have flagella, meaning they move. Not all protist move, like plants can't move. So, not all protists have flagella, meaning they can move.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Lily :)

Gelneren [198K]

The correct answer should be the Periderm.

It is not as simple as this, of course and you would be wise to know that periderm is just a part of the overall concept that is bark, because bark is not a biological term.
