You collect a specimen from a deep jungle survey. It appears to be a new species. You get to name it, but before you can, you must classify it first. It appears to be single celled,
and contains chloroplasts. When a few of them are kept in the dark too long, they die.
Under the microscope you can see a dark colored nucleus. What classification fits them
best?
O A. Archaeabacteria
B. Fungus
C. Plant
OD. Plant-like protist

The correct option is;

D. Plant-like protist

Protists are a broad collection of not so strictly connected microscopic unicellular (single celled) eukaryotic organisms that is neither a fungus, plant, or an animal but are categorized under the kingdom known as Protista

Protophyta is a known plant-like protist that is made of single celled algae

Other single-celled chloroplast containing protists are diatoms, and dinoflgelates.

the element that provides strength to the exoskeletons of clams and oysters is phosphorus.

this is so because calcium carbonate is the main component in the shells. calcium carbonate is strengthened by phosphorus.
