16.
As we already know, protists are eukaryotic meaning
a)
Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that lack a nucleus organelle. This means tat the DNA inside the cell is free floating.
b)
Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that have a nucleus organelle. This means that the DNA inside the cell is inside the nucleus.
17.
What are the ways within which microbiologists classify protists?
a)
Microbiologists classify protists by the way they look. Some of them are green in color, while others are clear.
b)
Microbiologist classify protists by observing their method of obtaining energy.
c)
Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move. Some protists use cilia to move, while some other use cytoplasmic streaming or flagellum.
d)
Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move, and the protists method of obtaining energy.
