Protists and Supergroups

Diatoms – SAR - Stramenopila

Foraminiferans – SAR - Rhizaria

Plasmodial slime molds - Unikonta - Amoebazoans

Trichomonas vaginalis - Excavata - Parabasalids

Giardia intestinalis - Excavata - Diplomonads

Dinoflagellates - SAR - Alveolata

Green algae - Archaeplastida- Chlorophytes

Brown algae - SAR-Stramenopila

Explanation:

Protists are the simplest eukaryotes. Due to their vast diversity of species, they are broadly divided into four supergroups or the clades. They are the Archaeplastida, Excavata, SAR clade, and Unikonta.

Archaeplastida: Interrelated with DNA sequence, cell structure, and endosymbiotic relationships. Divided into red algae, chlorophytes, charophyceans, and the plants. Eg, red algae, green algae, plants.

Excavata: Protists with cytoskeletal features like excavated grooves. This clade includes diplomonads, parabasalids, euglenozoans. Eg., Trichomonas and Giardia species

SAR: Protists interrelated with their DNA sequences and endosymbiotic relationships. Further divided into alveolata, stramenopila, and rhizaria. Eg., diatoms, dinoflagellates

Unikonta: Protists with flagella like structures, pseudopodia, genes fused together. Divided into amoebozoans and opisthokonts. These include slime molds, fungi, entamoebas, animals etc.

An objects position is always defined relative to a reference point. If the object changes position, its motion can be described

Orlov [11]

The position of the diver is described as "below a certain point"; therefore, the reference point must be above the diver. For a diver in the middle of his dive, the bottom of the pool, the other swimmers and the far side of the swimming pool are likely to be below the diver, or at level with the diver at most. Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.

What kinds of organisms use photosynthesis

erik [133]

Photosynthetic organisms, also known as photoautotrophs, are organisms that are capable of photosynthesis. Some of these organisms include higher plants, some protists (algae and euglena), and bacteria.

Sarah performs an experiment to determine the effect of nitrogen on plants. She studies the effect of nitrogen on the growth of

Aneli [31]

When Sarah performed this experiment, she changed the levels of nitrogen in order to observe the changes in the morphological features of the plant.
All of the characteristics of the plant that she observed were dependent on multiple different things, but the level of nitrogen was an independent variable that she was changing at her will.
