Answer:

The organism is classified as protist or plant based on whether is single celled or multicellular and whether it makes its own food.

Explanation:

Both, protists and plants are eukaryotic meaning that these have nucleus in their cells and organelles  bound by membrane. Unlike plants which may be multicellular, protists are single celled. Hence, a botanist must investigate to find if the cells are multicellular or not.

Another important feature is that if the botanists finds that the organism produces its own food, then it is a plant. As plants get their own food by combining the sunlight captured with carbon dioxide from the air through process called photosynthesis.

Number the following events of plant evolution in sequential order.
Alex

Answer;

  • rise of chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs 
  • rise of cyanobacteria - a specific type of phototroph that shares homology with chloroplast genome 
  • rise of eukaryotes 
  • rise of multicellularity 
  • rise of bryophytes - mosses 
  • rise of gymnosperms - conifers, cycads & ginkgo 
  • rise of angiosperms - flowering plants

Explanation;

Plants are multicellular organisms that have evolved the ability to live on land. The vast majority can carry out photosynthesis, but they are not the only organisms with this ability: many protists can photosynthesize too, as can several important groups of bacteria.

Plants are thought to have evolved from a class of freshwater green algae called the charophytes. Two particular groups of charophyte, the Coleochaetales and the Charales, resemble the earliest land plants (bryophytes) in a variety of ways, including the structure of their chloroplasts and sperm cells, and the way their cells divide during mitosis .
