Question
Chapter 15, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the increased susceptibility of the plant to the protist infection due to overwatering.
Introduction:
Protists are of two type’s autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophic protists can get their energy from photosynthesis such as algae, and the heterotrophic protists extract nutrients from dead and decaying organic matter. Examples of heterotrophic protists include water molds and slime molds.

Students have asked these similar questions
A) Protist diseases can be hard to treat because
Group of answer choices
some use brown or red pigments, rather than green pigments, for photosynthesis
they have prokaryotic cells
anti-protist medicines have too much selective toxicity
they are heterotrophic
they have evolved defenses that make them invisible to the immune system
B)
A plant without vascular tissues will likely be
Group of answer choices
small and/or flat
found primarily in dry habitats, such as deserts
tall
unable to photosynthesize
unable to reproduce sexually
Why have molecular biologists sequenced the genomes of severalparasitic protists?
Protists are a group of eukaryotic organisms that are brought together by scientists mostly by convenience. I) What is the relationship between all protists that ties them together? ii) provide an example of a autotrophic and heterotrophic protists group, iii) what is the relationship between the multicellular eukaryotes and the protists?
