Question

directions: select each correct answer. several eukaryotic organisms are shown. identify the three organisms that are members of kingdom protista. yeast (7 μm), mosquito larva (10,000 μm), dinoflagellate (150 μm), diatom (50 μm), paramecium (200 μm), nematode (1,500 μm)

Explanation:

To identify members of kingdom Protista, we recall that Protista includes eukaryotic, mostly unicellular organisms that are not plants, animals, or fungi.

• Yeast is a fungus (kingdom Fungi).
• Mosquito Larva is an animal (kingdom Animalia, larval stage).
• Dinoflagellate: Unicellular, eukaryotic, part of Protista (algal protist).
• Diatom: Unicellular, eukaryotic, algal protist (Protista).
• Paramecium: Unicellular, eukaryotic, protozoan (Protista).
• Nematode: Animal (kingdom Animalia, roundworm).

So the three are Dinoflagellate, Diatom, Paramecium.

Answer:

Dinoflagellate, Diatom, Paramecium
