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

C. fungus-like protist

Explanation:

The fungus-like protists are organisms that seem like plants, but are much more closely related to the animals. They tend to be parasitic, thus they use a host in order to be able to get the needed nutrition. Unlike the producers, the fungus-like protists are not capable of performing the process of photosynthesis, thus they do not produce their own food. Considering these characteristics, it is no wonder that they can mostly be found on dead plants from which they can feed upon.

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
