Why is the kingdom Protista not valid under evolutionary classification?
Q. a. Protists are vert similar and easy yo confuse. b. Protista contains groups that share closest common ancestors with other groups, rather that with each other. c. Protists are the most numerous organisms on Earth d. Protista evolved before any other kingdom, and as such share a most recent common ancestor with each other, as opposed to any other group.

A. b. Protista contains groups that share closest common ancestors with other groups, rather that with each other. Plants, animals and fungi share common ancestors with protists, making the group paraphyletic. There is diversity among the protists which exceeds that in plants, animals and fungi. The bacteria evolved before and are more numerous than the protists.

Asked by Bob S - Mon Oct 27 15:02:25 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Protists are not longer recognized as a valid group in modern taxonomy, so this question seems to come out of an outdated text book. But here we go: protists are unicellular organisms or multicellular without specialized tissues. Plants and animals are usually multicellular, with specialized tissues.

A. Nope. We just know that it happened some time after the formation of the eukaryotic cell. The problem is that most protista are very small and soft-bodied, so finding them in the fossil record is problematic. We do know that "protista" isn't a monophyletic grouping.

A. 1) both have cells with a a true nucleaus. okay read this it might help: if not asl somebody at live tutoring online on library website they always will help Like the monera, protista are single-celled organisms; however, the major difference is the organization of the cell. Protista are eukaryotes: a eukaryotic cell has a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles inside, separate from the rest of the cell contents. Most protista can move. Some produce their own food by photosynthesis; others must ingest other living things. Amoebae, some algae, diatoms and other organisms belong to the protista. Animals belong to animalia: multicellular (eukaryotic) organisms that move about and must obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms.… [cont.]

A. No. Kingdom Monera are strictly single-celled organisms, mostly bacteria. Kingdom protista is kind of wierd, because there is no strict defenition of what it is, but rather it is everything not included in all the other kingdoms. An example would be algea - it does not fit into any other kingdom, so it would be considered protista.

A. Well, think about the ecology diagram presented in class. If the algae die, the protozoa that consume them would die off as well. As the cycle continues, the multi-cellular invertebrate animals would die too for their food source, the protozoa, had died, thus effecting the fishes and tadpoles that were the pictured on the cycle. As a result of the lack of protists, all of the organisms in the pond were eventually affected, resulting in death. As for how the earth would change, I suppose the food chain would be drastically different? The multicellular invertebrate animals present in the diagram would need another source of food other than the protozoa that would utilize algae as a source of food. Termites would not be able to digest wood… [cont.]

A. People who are not affiliated with a particular group are bunched together simply because they don't belong anywhere else. So it is with protists. They are so varied and rarely have anything in common. For this reason, they are very difficult to classify. They too are grouped together simply because they don't fit in any of the other categories.

A. Poke it! JK, you probably could test the pH of the water around it initially and then again later and if the pH goes up, it could maybe be assumed that photosynthesis has occurred, and if it goes down respiration (carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid in water). This could be done with brothymol blue (I think that's how you spell it) which turns yellow in the presence of an acid, the more yellow, the more acidic. For this the organism must be isolated to insure that other organisms aren't affecting the results. Just a thought.

They're seperated into plant-like protists (Algae), animal-like protists (Protozoa), and fungi-like protists. Basically, protista is an "Etc." folder for scientists.
