Which of the following is a characteristic feature of Protista?
Show answer
Answer: C. Unicellular or simple multicellular and eukaryotic
Protista is a diverse kingdom of eukaryotic organisms that are typically unicellular, but some can be simple multicellular. They are neither prokaryotic nor exclusively multicellular.
Which of the following is an example of a prokaryotic organism?
Show answer
Answer: C. Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacterium, and bacteria are prokaryotes. Amoeba and Paramecium are protists (eukaryotes), and mushrooms are fungi (eukaryotes).
Which of the following is an example of a unicellular organism from the Kingdom Protista?
Show answer
Answer: C. Amoeba
Amoeba is a unicellular protozoan belonging to the Kingdom Protista. Ferns are plants, yeast is a fungus, and earthworms are animals.
Which phylum of the animal kingdom is characterized by a soft body, often enclosed in a shell, and includes snails and clams?
Show answer
Answer: C. Mollusca
Mollusks are a diverse group of invertebrates, many of which have a protective shell made of calcium carbonate. They have soft, unsegmented bodies.
Which organism from the Kingdom Protista is known for its ability to move using pseudopodia?
Show answer
Answer: C. Amoeba
