Question

A microbiologist is in the process of classifying a newly discovered organism. Its characteristics include: · eukaryotic · multicellular · reproduces by spores · motile in some stage of its life cycle · decomposer Which type of organism is it most likely to be? club fungus fungus-like protist plant-like protist sac fungus

Answer 1

Answer:

fungus-like protist

Explanation:

A fungus mostly has those characteristics. Most of them are multicellular eukaryotes -- the exception being yeast, which are unicellular eukaryotes. They can reproduce by spores and are decomposers; they even consume via absorptive feeding!

First, it's definitely not plant-like, as it is a decomposer, and there is no indication that it can produce its own food. It doesn't entirely seem like a fungus either, so the answer is a fungus-like protist.
