On a trip to a wildlife sanctuary, nathan found a piece of rotting log. he took a sample from the log to examine in his laboratory. the organism he found was eukaryotic and could not photosynthesize. it also had a cell wall. what type of organism was most likely feeding on this sample? a. plant-like protist b. animal-like protist c. fungus-like protist d. archaea e. bacteria

the correct option is c. fungus-like protist

fungus-like protist such as slime molds are unicellular eukaryotes (which means they have a nucleus), and cannot photosynthesize. they get their energy and nutrition by releasing a digestive enzyme to break down large organic molecules into pieces small enough to for them to absorb. they also have cell walls and reproduce by forming spores. for the question given above, a fungus-like protist was most likely feeding on the sample.

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
