Which characteristics do all Protista have in common?
zysi [14]
Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but others like algae are multicellular. Protists have mitochondria responsible for respiration to produce energy to be used by cells. Additionally, they can be parasites and mostly prefer aquatic or moist environments. They may be classified as animal-like protists (heterotrophs and have ability to move), Plant-like (autotrophs that photosynthesize) and fungi-like (heterotrophs with cells that have cell wall and reproduce by spore forming). Protists reproduce by asexual means (e.g. budding) or sexually. Therefore, in this case we may conclude that they are all parasites and reproduce sexually or asexually.

What is the purpose of atp in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Stells [14]

Answer:

Aids energy transfer from a molecule to another

Explanation:

ATP aids energy coupling, combining exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions. In PHOTOSYNTHESIS, ATP is produced in the light reactions for Calvin cycle to produce sugar. In CELLULAR RESPIRATION, sugar undergoes oxidized to produce ATP needed to energize cellular metabolism (ATP is the energy currency of the cell).

ATP is a major source of energy for each and every biological process. In PHOTOSYNTHESIS energy is changed to ATP in the light-dependent phase which is used for synthesis in the dark phase.

ATP is a needed in RESPIRATION. ATP is the energy currency of the cells, sometimes called the “molecular currency” of energy distribution.

Which of the following best describes an irregular galaxy? A group of stars that serve as a quick reference to different parts o
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The answer is D.

"An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that does not have a distinct regular shape, unlike a spiral or an elliptical galaxy. Irregular galaxies do not fall into any of the regular classes of the Hubble sequence, and they are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure."

.<br> 1. Why is digestion so important to organisms?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body. The body breaks down nutrients from food and drink into carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins.
