Question: 1
Name four major groups of kingdom protista.
Answer: 1
1-46
Protozoans: Animals like protista.
Unicellular Algae: Plants like protista.
Multicellular Algae: Plants like protista.

Question: 2
Why kingdom protista is regarded as a polyphyletic group of organisms?
Answer: 2
2-46
Based on diversity most biologists regard the protist kingdom as a polyphyletic group of organisms; that is the protists probably do not share a single common ancestor.

Answer: 21
21-46
Choanoflagellates are sessile marine or freshwater flagellates.They are attached by a stalk and surrounded by a delicate collar.They are of special interest because of their striking resemblance to collar cells in sponges.
