Why are Protists said to be the most diverse of all eukaryotes? A. Kingdom Protista is said to be the most diverse kingdom, because each of its members are so individual from each other. This miscellanous grouping causes the organisms in the kingdom to be very different from each other.

Q. Why is Protista no longer a kingdom?
Explain why the kingdom Protista is no longer considered a legitimate taxonomic group. Protista polyphyletic: some protists are more closely related to plants, fungi or animals than they are to other protists; it was too diverse, so it no longer a single kingdom.
Q. How might the classification of protists change in the future?
The Protist Kingdom, also called the Protoctist Kingdom, is a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into the other eukaryotic kingdoms. However, it may be that in the future these organisms give rise to two more kingdoms, or be reincerted into the animal and plant kingdoms.
Q. How are protists traditionally classified?
How have protists traditionally been classified? Originally, protist were classified as a single kingdom. Then were divided into plant and animal-like protist. Later fungal-like species were discovered and led to the current classification of plant, animal, and fungal-like protist.
Q. Why are geologists interested in the remains of some protists?
Why are geologists interested in the remains of some protists? They can help correlate the age of geologic strata.
Q. Why is Kingdom Protista called the mixed bag?
The protist kingdom is considered the “grab bag of organisms” kingdom because it is such a diverse kingdom. It contains organisms that do not fit into any of the other living kingdoms. They can be either plant like, animal like, or fungus like.
Q. What protist means?
Protists are a diverse collection of organisms. While exceptions exist, they are primarily microscopic and unicellular, or made up of a single cell. At one time, simple organisms such as amoebas and single-celled algae were classified together in a single taxonomic category: the kingdom Protista.
Q. How do protists affect humans?
Some severe diseases of humans are caused by protists, primarily blood parasites. Malaria, trypanosomiasis (e.g., African sleeping sickness), leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, and amoebic dysentery are debilitating or fatal afflictions.
Q. What STD is caused by protozoan?
Trichomoniasis (or “trich”) is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is caused by infection with a protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis.
Q. Is gonorrhea a virus?
Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The gonorrhea bacteria are most often passed from one person to another during sexual contact, including oral, anal or vaginal intercourse.
