Like animals, animal-like protists are

• autotrophs
• Heterotrophs
• unicellular
• prokaryotes

Which structure allow sarcodines such as amoebas to move?

• cilia
• contractile vacuole
• flagella
• pseudopods

What theory allowed for the first protist to evolve?

• endocymbiotic
• germ theory
• electrostatic theory
• cell theory

Which phylum causes the red tide t hat infects shelfish with a toxin?

• Bacillariophyta
• Chrysophyta

Viruses are exceptions to the cell theory, but they have some characteristics of living things. What is one of these characteristics

• They are made up of many specialized cells
• They contain genetic material
• They reproduce by mitosis
• They contain chlorophyll

What characteristics of plants is shared by green algae?

• Photosynthetic pigments
• multicellularity
• cell wall composition
• all of the above

An argument that does NOT support the classification of multi cellular green algae as  plants is that multicellular green algae

• display alteration of genertation
• contain chlorophyll a, which makes them green
• have highly specialized tissues
• live primarily in water
