Question

A sample of eukaryotic protists revealed organisms that had cilia along their plasma membranes. To which Eukaryotic Supergroup does the sampled organ probably belong?

A.) Archaeplastida

B.) Excavata

C.) Chromalveolata

D.) Opisthokont

E.) Rhizaria

Answer 1

Answer (c) :- chromalveolata beacuse Chromalveolates include very important photosynthetic organisms in animals and plants, including diatoms, brown algae and major disease agents.

The chromalveolates may be subdivided into stramenopiles and alveolates.Some of the better-known protists further categorize the alveolates: the dinoflagellates, the apicomplexes, and the ciliates .

The ciliates, which include Paramecium and Tetrahymena, are a group of 10 to 3,000 micrometer long protists covered by bands, tufts, or tiny cilia spirals. Ciliates can coordinate guided movements and absorb food particles by beating their cilia synchronously or in waves.
