Question
Chapter 22, Problem 6STP
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Protists includea group of organisms that are unicellular and microscopic. They have a highly organized cell that is a nucleus and specialized organelles. Amoeba, paramecium, flagellated protists are found in this group, they live in different habitats.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 6STP
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (A) they absorb nutrients from decaying organisms.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (A)they absorb nutrients from decaying animals. The fungilike protists like slime mold absorb nutrients from the decomposed organic matter of dead organisms. So, the correct answer is option (A).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (B)they obtain nutrients by feeding on the unicellular organism.
Option (C)they have a symbiotic relationship with an animal host, obtaining nutrients from it. Fungi do not show symbiotic relationship except
Option (D)they produce sugars as a nutrient source by using energy from sunlight. Fungi do not undergo photosynthesis. So, this is an incorrect answer.
