They are simple eukaryotic organisms.

Most of the organisms are unicellular, some are colonial and some are multicellular like algae.

Most of the protists live in water, some in moist soil or even the body of human and plants.

These organisms are eukaryotic, since they have a membrane bound nucleus and endomembrane systems.

They have mitochondria for cellular respiration and some have chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

Nuclei of protists contain multiple DNA strands, the number of nucleotides are significantly less than complex eukaryotes.

Movement is often by flagella or cilia.

Protists are multicellular organisms, they are not a plant, animal or fungus.

Respiration - cellular respiration is primarily aerobic process, but some living in mud below ponds or in digestive tracts of animals ares strict facultative anaerobes.

Nutrition - they can be both hetreotrophic or autotrophic.

Flagellates are filter feeding, some protists feed by the process of endocytosis (formation of food vacuole by engulfing a bacteria and extending their cell membrane).

Reproduction - some species have complex life cycle involving multiple organisms.

Example:
Plasmodium. Some reproduce sexually and others asexually.

They can reproduce by mitosis and some are capable of meiosis for sexual reproduction.
They form cysts in adverse conditions.

Some protists are pathogens of both animals and plants. Example: Plasmodium falciparum causes malaria in humans.

Protists are major component of plankton.

son4ous [18]

Explanation:

Hello ! Let's solve this!

1-atomic number: the atomic number is the number of protons that the atom has

2-mass number: is the amount of protons plus the amount of neutrons in the atom

3-atomic weight: average of the masses of an atom per 1/12 of the mass of carbon

4-isotope: it is the same element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons

5-natural abundance: measures the amount of isotopes of an element in nature

6-unit of atomic mass: (uma) is a unit that is equivalent to 1/12 of the carbon atom

One common application of conservation of energy in mechanics is to determine the speed of an object. Although the simulation do
12345 [234]

Answer:

11.72 m/s

Explanation:

Energy is conserved when there are no energy loses. So potential energy and kinetic energy must be the same at the beginning and at the end.

Mechanical energy is the addition of both energy types, which is conserved.

So E= P+ K,

E: Mechanical energy

P: Potential Energy

K: kinetic energy.

P= m*g*h

K= (m*v^2)/2

M:mass

G:gravity=9.8m/s^2

H:altitude=7m

V: Velocity.

So P+K is conserved,

P1+K1=P2+K2

At the beginning there's no movement, so V=0, then K1=0

At the end there's no altitude, so H=0, then P2=0.

For those reasons,

P1=K2

M*G*H= M*v^2*0.5. As M is in both sides, we can take it out, and replace gravity and altitude with the values we already have.

9,81(m/s^2)* 7m = v^2 *0.5

68.67 (m/s)^2 = v^2 *0.5

(68.67 (m/s)^2 :0.5) ^ (1/2)= |v|

137.34^0.5=|v|

11.72 m/s= |v|

The sign will depend on where are we considering the 0 so will it be positive velocity if it's increasing direction or negative if it is decreasing
