In contrast to plants and animals, protists do NOT
Correct answer: C. develop from an embryo
- A. have cell walls
- B. reproduce asexually
- C. develop from an embryo
- D. possess membrane bounded organelles
Explanation
Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are not classified as plants, animals, or fungi. The key feature that distinguishes them from plants and animals is that they do not develop from an embryo, which is a stage in the life cycle of multicellular organisms. While some protists have cell walls and many reproduce asexually, they are unique in their lack of embryonic development. Additionally, being eukaryotic, protists have membrane-bounded organelles, similar to plants and animals.
