Answer:

A. Protists are more primitive than land plants and animals

Explanation:

Kingdom Protista is a kingdom that consists of one cell or many cells and has a nuclear membrane (eukaryotic organisms) and single cell.

Protists can be grouped into three parts which resemble animals (protozoa), resemble plants (algae) and resemble fungi. Most Protists live in water, because they do not have a barrier to protect their bodies from dry weather.

Kingdom Protista is a simple kingdom because it is only composed of one cell so that it can be grouped in its own kingdom. But there are also multicellular ones but still very simple compared to other

The characteristics of protists are as follows:

1. Unicellular organism (single-celled)

2. Eukaryotic (has a nucleus membrane)

3. Live solitary (alone) or colonize.

4. Generally can not make their own food (heterotof)

5. Live free, saprophytic and parasitic.

6. Can form cysts to survive.

From the characteristics mentioned above, it can be concluded that protists are 1-celled creatures so that they are more primitive than multicellular land plants and animals. Then in choice C. it is said that some protists are eukaryotic. Even though all protists are eukaryotic.

So the choice of the most appropriate answer is A. Protists are more primitive than land plants and animals

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A) Some protists evolved into other eukaryotic groups.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Protists are eukaryotes , making them much more complex than the prokaryotes, such as bacteria.
Protists may be classified as a paraphyletic group, since they are difficult to group under a single ancestor because of their diversity and dissimilarity from each other.
Protists evolved from prokaryotes, eventually giving rise to the entire line of eukaryotes that exists today.

Which one of the following discoveries involving DNA happened first?

EastWind [94]

<span>A. Hershey and Chase used bacteriophages to confirm that DNA was the genetic material in genes.

</span>According to the central dogma of molecular biology, the process of protein synthesis in living organisms follows the order: DNA →RNA→ Protein.Information for synthesis of a particular protein is copied (transcribed) from DNA onto mRNA in a process called transcription, in the cell nucleus.<span>mRNA (messenger RNA) leaves the cell nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. tRNA (transfer RNA) begins to decode (translate) the information on the attached mRNA in a process called translation and fetches amino acids corresponding to this information from the pool of free amino acids in the cytoplasm, and brings them to the ribosome where they are joined together into a chain and thus the protein is formed.</span>

In an article about saving the whales written by a marine biologist, which word might be used by the author to make you want to

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Endangered

Explanation:

Endangered species are organisms that are at risk of extinction if deliberate efforts are not made to conserve them due to a rapid decrease in their population.

<em>Hence, if a marine biologist writes an article about saving whales and labels them as </em><em>endangered species</em><em>, all efforts should be geared towards saving the animals lest they go extinct and leave a vacuum in the functioning of the ecosystem. Every species have the critical roles they play in the functioning of the ecosystem and the extinction of any particular species represents a loss that might not be replaceable. </em>

What happen to the energy that was not passed on to the next tropic level?????<br> Please help AsAP

jekas [21]

Answer:

The energy that was not passed on the next tropic level is lost as heat

Explanation:

In an ecosystem flow of energy occur from one tropic level to the next one as the organism of one tropic level eats another organism belongs to the tropic level that is lower from that of previous one.

The 10% of total energy of one tropic level is passed to the next tropic level the rest of the energy is lost as heat in the environment.
