hich of the following explains why protists are considered a paraphyletic group? O A Protists are prokaryotic. B Protists cannot be a monophyletic group because their morphology and behavior are so variable. C Protists lack a common ancestor. DD The MRCA of the protists also gave rise to plants, animals, and fungi. O E Choices B and D are both correct.

I don't understand this practice bio question: Despite the fact that modern taxonomists have abandoned the Kingdom Protista, the term "protist" persists in the biological literature. Explain the current meaning of the term protist and give several specific examples.
1. How is designated the ancestral protist lineage that gives origin to the metazoans? 2. Layout that protist lineage (inform the names of the structures) 3. Wich big philo of metazoa is most related to this protist lineage? 4. What is the main sinapomorphy of this meathozary group? 5. How can the relationship be morphologically proven to the ancestral protist lineage? 6. The feeding of the basal metazoan has characteristics considered plesiomorphic. Indicate the food habit and digestion process of the basal metazoan (I'm sorry, i don't speak english very well)
Protists are the most varied group of organisms that we studied this term. They display unique adaptations in feeding, reproduction, and lifestyle (parasitism, free living, etc) among many others! Discuss protist evolution, including an overview of the major groups, and the breadth of variations that occur within this paraphyletic clade. How did protists lead to the evolution of the rest of life on Earth?
Which of the following statements correctly describes how different evolutionary groups obtain resources? O Protists can be heterotrophic or autotrophic O Protists are exclusively heterotrophic O Fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic O Plants are exclusively autotrophic
