Detailed explanation-1: -A scientist discovers a unicellular organism when examining a pond sample under a microscope. Which of the following explanations would provide a correct claim with supporting evidence to determine to which kingdom the organism would belong? Claim: The organism is a protist.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unicellular organisms include bacteria, protists, and yeast. For example, a paramecium is a slipper-shaped, unicellular organism found in pond water. It takes in food from the water and digests it in organelles known as food vacuoles.
Detailed explanation-3: -In determining whether a prokaryote belongs to domain Archaea or Bacteria, one must examine the composition of its cell wall and cell membrane. Members of the domain Bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, while those in domain Archaea do not.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some notable adaptations in unicellular organisms is the presence of contractile vacuoles, cilia, flagella, pseudopods, and eyespots. These organisms also may develop adaptive behaviors that will allow it to carry out processes that will help it to survive in particular environments.
