While looking at microscope slides prepared from pond water samples, you find two different micro-organisms. Since both organisms appear to have a nucleus, you have determined that they are eukaryotic protists. You are unsure whether each protist is an amoeba, a flagellate, ciliate, a protozoan, an algae, a euglenoid, or a fungus-like protist.
The first micro-organism appears to be heterotropic. You notice that it moves through water by using a long whip-like structure. What is the most probable phylum of the micro-organism? Is this protist considered plant-like,animal-like,or fungus-like.
The second microorganism also swims with a whip-like structure,yet it contains chloroplast and carry out photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight. What is the most proable identity of hte micro-organism? Is this protist considered plant-like,animal-like, or fungus-like? Explain.
