Protists are the eukaryotes which are neither plants, animals nor fungi. But they are plant-like, fungi-like and animal-like organisms. It is difficult to classify all the protists in one kingdom Protista because of their numerous diversified traits. There are a few parasites, predators and also producers among the protists. Some have a cell wall, while others have a cell membrane. Mode of locomotion can be flagella, cilia or the pseudopodia. The best example is the <em>Euglena</em> exhibiting both plant and animal like characteristics in having a chloroplast performing photosynthesis and exhibiting locomotion by flagella. These diversified traits made the scientists to reclassify the protists. The kingdoms which arose from protist ancestors include the kingdom animalia, plantae and mycota sharing common characteristic features with their ancestor. Scientists say that we should not look for the earliest ancestors of animals among modern-day protists because, the modern day protists have gone through a process of evolution which makes them different from their early ancestors. The gradual changes during the course of evolution has made them different from their ancestors with respect to their structure, adaptations and also the genetic composition.

Answer:
This question lacks options, options are:
A.Carrying capacity will increase B.Carrying capacity will decrease C.Carrying capacity will remain unchanged. The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Ecologists define 'carrying capacity' as the population of a certain species that a defined habitat can support indefinitely, without permanently damaging the ecosystem on which they are dependent,that is, the ecological carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum growth limit of a biological population that the environment can support in a given period, without negative effects on that population or on the environment.
