Which of the following is not an example of a protist?
Paramecium
Kelp
Snail
Algae

Sagot :

Correct Answer - Snail.

Why? - Algae, singular alga, members of a group of predominantly aquatic photosynthetic organisms of the kingdom Protista.

Paramecia are single-celled protists that are naturally found in aquatic habitats. They are typically oblong or slipper-shaped and are covered with short hairy structures called cilia. Certain paramecia are also easily cultured in labs and serve as useful model organisms.

Algae resembles a tall grass, giant kelp is not a plant. Instead, it is a brown alga and is part of the large kingdom of life known as the Protista.

A snail IS NOT an example of a protist. Protists are unicellular organisms, whereas snails are pluricellular organisms (i.e., snails are animals).

A protist is a broad category of eukaryotic organisms that are not animals, plants, or fungi.

The features of protists include:

  • Unicellular  (i.e., they contain a nucleus)
  • Presence of mitochondria.
  • They can be parasitic microorganisms
  • They prefer aquatic/moist environments.

Protists include Protozoa (animal-like heterotrophic organisms), Protophyta (plant-like autotrophic organisms) and Molds  (fungi-like organisms).

In conclusion, a snail IS NOT an example of a protist. Protists are unicellular organisms, whereas snails are pluricellular organisms (i.e., snails are animals).
