- Compare the phylogenetic tree of protists with the secondary endosymbiosis theory which proposes how photosynthetic protists evolved. Are both reconcilable? Explain.arrow_forwardA parasitic protist has been isolated and is on a microscope slide. How could you determine whether it belongs to te Apicomplexans or Excavata supergroup? Look for spores which would indicate Excavata Look for flagella which would indicate Excavata There is no way to distinguish based on structural characteristics. Look for flagella which would indicate Apicomplexansarrow_forwardIf you were to create an evolutionary tree in which amoebas were included within the kingdom of organisms to which they were the most closely related (rather than with protists, where they are currently placed), where would you put them?arrow_forward
- why is the kingdom protista not a valid group from an evolutionary perspective?arrow_forwardYou are given five test tubes, each containing an unknown protist, and your task is to read the description below and match these five protists that you know to the correct test tube. -Paramecium -Pfiesteria (dinoflagellate) -Navicula (diatom) -Plasmodium -Amoeba In test tube 1, you sketch the organism and come up with a picture that looks like the one below. You note the organism appears to be “eating” the smaller microorganism. Chemical analysis of test tube 2 indicates the presence of a chemical that is toxic to fish and humans. In test tube 3, you detect the presence of substantial amounts of silica. Microscopic analysis of organisms in tube 4 reveals the presence of an apicoplast in the organism Microscopic analysis of the contents in tube 5 reveals the presence of one large macronucleus and several small micronuclei in each organism Match the description with the correct protistarrow_forwardWhich of these six organisms are autotrophic and which ones are heterothropic ?arrow_forward
