A scientist has discovered a new species and is tasked with identifying which of the kingdoms of life the organism might fit.
Multicellular with nuclei
Presence of a cell wall containing chitin
Heterotrophic
Non-motile
Question options:
Fungi
Protista
Plantae
Animalia
Protists are a group of organisms that are eukaryotic. However, they are a diverse group, with some of the members of the group having a more recent common ancestor with plants while others have a more recent common ancestor with animals. Algae are protists that are more closely related to plants than any other group.
Which characteristics would algae share with plants but NOT with animals?
Question options:
DNA
Ribosomes
Chloroplasts
Mitochondria
Using the provided images, classify these 2 organisms (animal, plant, bacteria, protist)
The Study of Life discusses themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of you've learned about the themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. Choose one concept and describe your understanding of the concept, add information to that concept and lastly pose a question to the class so that they can get involved.
