Protists can be described as ____________.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks how protists can be described. 
Option 1: 'unicellular' — While many protists are single-celled, this description is incomplete because it excludes those protists that form colonies or be more complex.
Option 2: 'multicellular' — This is also inaccurate as a blanket statement because the majority of protists are not multicellular organisms; multicellularity is characteristic of plants, animals, and fungi, not most protists.
Option 3: 'some are unicellular, others are multicellular' — This option correctly captures the diversity within the group: protists include mostly unicellular organisms, but there are examples of colonial or somewhat more complex or multicellular-like assemblies in certain lineages, making this the most accurate overall description.
In summary, the key idea is that protists are a diverse collection with both unicellular representatives and some forms that exhibit more complex organization, whereas the other options oversimplify or misstate this diversity.
