Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 2
A cell wall with a peptidoglycan is usually found in plants, fungi, bacteria, algae, and archaea. Therefore, it is not a characteristic of a protist. Some protists lack cell wall. However, for those that have one, their cell walls are made up of cellulose.
Result
2 of 2
A. cell wall containing peptidoglycan

D. pseudopod
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 2
In conjugation, hollow bridge between two bacterial cells are formed in order to exchange genetic material with each other. This process increases the genetic variation in these organisms.
Result
2 of 2
B. It results in the trading of some genetic material with another organism.
Exercise 4
Step 1

Slime molds lack chlorophyll and chitin in their cell walls. Their absence of chlorophyll makes them unable to undergo photosynthesis.
Result

D. photosynthetic
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 2
Algae are classified as photosynthetic organisms which are either unicellular or multicellular. The life cycle of most algae goes through a process known as alternation of generations, wherein it includes an alternation between diploid and haploid stages. One of the many roles of the algae in the ecosystem is being the food source of most marine animals. Algae are mostly symbiotic.

Result
2 of 2
E. Food vacuole
Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 2
A gullet is one of the specialized parts of a protist. Its function is to transport the food from the mouth into the food vacuole.
Result
2 of 2
D. gullet
Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 2
The contractile vacuole, which is found in unicellular organisms, contracts to expel excess liquid.
Result
2 of 2
A. Contractile vacuole
Exercise 9
Step 1
1 of 2
In a unicellular eukaryote, this pore serve as the structure that ejects the undigested food in its body.
Result
2 of 2
C. anal pore
