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.

humans can cause extinction of a species through overharvesting, pollution, habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species (such as new predators and food competitors), overhunting, and other influences. explosive, unsustainable human population growth is an essential cause of the extinction crisis.
