Question

Drag each tile to the correct location.

Answer 1

Answer:

Plant-like:

presence of flagella

shows the absence of cell wall, though chloroplast may be present

Animal-like:

absence of cell wall, as well as chloroplast

Fungus-like:

feeds on decaying matter

enclosed by a membrane called a pellicle

slime mold belongs in this category

Explanation:

The protists can be classified into three groups (plant-like, animal-like, fungus-like) based on the method of nutrition, movement, and mode of reproduction.

Plant-like protists have chloroplasts and trapped sunlight to form food ad energy (photosynthesis). They also have flagella used for the movement.

Example: Algae

Animal-like protists are heterotrophs that cannot make their food. They do not have chloroplast and cell wall outside the cell membrane.

Example: Protozoa

Fungus-like protists are single-cell eukaryotes that have a protective layer outside the cell membrane called pellicle. They feed on decaying organic matter.

Example: Slime mold and water mold
