3. Students practice reading a thermometer. Explain that room temperature is about 70Â°F. Using your transparency and a red marker, color the bulb and column part of the âtubeâ up to the 70Â°F mark. Let students ï¬ nd the 70Â°F mark on their page and use a red colored pencil to color up from the bulb to that mark.
The majority of organisms classified as protists are unicellular though there are a few multicellular organisms. For example, kelp (âseaweedâ) is technically a protist even though it is multicellular. Kelp is not grouped with plants, however, because it lacks the cellular complexity present in plant cells.
The Protista, or Protoctista, are a kingdom of simple eukaryotic organisms, usually composed of a single cell or a colony of similar cells. Protists live in water, in moist terrestrial habitats, and as parasites and other symbionts in the bodies of multicellular eukaroytes.ome lack mitochondria and suggest what the first eukaryotes may have been like, while others have primitive mitochondria that closely resemble bacteria. Some basal Protista without mitochondria are Trichomonas, a vaginal parasite of humans; Giardia, an intestinal parasite; and Entamoeba, the cause of amoebic dysentery.
