The reason behind the studies of the molecular sensor, receptor tyrosine kinase, which supports the hypothesis that choanoflagellate—type of protest—are the ancestors of animals. Introduction: Protista are simple eukaryotic, single-celled, or multicellular organisms. They are found in the moist area, some are aquatic and some live inside the bodies of animals. There are some parasites , which are predators or decomposers. Protists do not come under prokaryotes, fungi , plant, or animals.

Please help to answer and also provide a step-by-step explanation: Movement is a type of response to stimuli. Many unicellular organisms can move in response to chemical changes outside the cell – amoeba exhibits locomotion, paramecium use cilia to get around. Protists such as the Amoeba and the Paramecium are important to our discussion of evolution because of their ability to respond to changes in the environment. These single-celled eukaryotes have this ability because a) their DNA responds to stimuli from the environment, b) they have the same germ cell layers that the Cnidaria have, c) new proteins, located in the cell membrane, have shapes and charge patterns that react to a stimulus by generating an electrical impulse. d) they have a Golgi Apparatus that measures the stimulus from the environment, e) none of these are possible.

Please briefly describe the idea of endosymbiosis and its role in protist evolution-relate to the idea of function of the group.

Part 1A: After attending the Protista lab (Lab 2) of BIOL2101 course, and seeing all the amazingly different Protists that can be found in a single drop of natural water sources; Mohammed get excited to see the different types of protists that might be found in water from rain paddles in his family farm in Al-Seeb, therefore, he took a sample to a Biology lab at SQU. Mohammed added a drop of water on a slide and covered it with a coverslip. Then he observed the slide under the microscope (40x) and took pictures for the following microorganisms: A 1- How do you think organisms in figure A most probably acquire their nutrients?

The next day, he observed the new sample under the microscope and was surprised to see that many…
