Question
protists are organisms that are classified in their own kingdom. protists are not plants or animals, yet some protists have characteristics similar to those of either plants or animals or both. a protist like the protozoan shown in the picture has similarities to both plants and animals. this protozoan is similar to animals because it has the ability to move from place to place while obtaining nutrients. this protozoan also shares a similarity with plants.
which feature labeled on the protozoan is associated with organisms in the plant kingdom but not in other kingdoms except protists?
mitochondrion
chloroplast
flagellum
nucleus
Plants have chloroplasts which are used for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are not found in animals (except some protists which can have plant - like features). Mitochondria are present in both plants and animals (for energy production). Flagellum is more of a characteristic related to movement (like in some animal - like cells or bacteria). Nucleus is a common feature in eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, protists etc.).
