Can you identify the supergroups to which these protists belong?
Sort these protists into the appropriate bins.

Protists and Supergroups

Diatoms – SAR - Stramenopila

Foraminiferans – SAR  - Rhizaria

Plasmodial slime molds - Unikonta  - Amoebazoans

Trichomonas vaginalis - Excavata - Parabasalids

Giardia intestinalis - Excavata - Diplomonads

Dinoflagellates - SAR -  Alveolata

Green algae - Archaeplastida- Chlorophytes

Brown algae - SAR-Stramenopila

Explanation:

Protists are the simplest eukaryotes. Due to their vast diversity of species, they are broadly divided into four supergroups or the clades. They are the Archaeplastida, Excavata, SAR clade, and Unikonta.

Archaeplastida: Interrelated with DNA sequence, cell structure, and endosymbiotic relationships. Divided into red algae, chlorophytes, charophyceans, and the plants. Eg, red algae, green algae, plants.

Excavata: Protists with cytoskeletal features like excavated grooves. This clade includes diplomonads, parabasalids, euglenozoans. Eg., Trichomonas and Giardia species

SAR: Protists interrelated with their DNA sequences and endosymbiotic relationships. Further divided into alveolata, stramenopila, and rhizaria. Eg., diatoms, dinoflagellates

Unikonta: Protists with flagella like structures, pseudopodia, genes fused together. Divided into amoebozoans and opisthokonts. These include slime molds, fungi, entamoebas, animals etc.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
