 * __TARGET III__- MASTERY OF PROTIST DIVERSITY**

__Chapter 28: Protist Diversity //(pages 575-598)//__


 * 1) List characteristics of eukaryotic cells. Compare prokaryotes to eukaryotes.
 * 2) Describe some common characteristics of all protists and identify major differences. (Include discussion of the terms unicellular, multicellular, colonial.)
 * 3) Explain how eukaryotic cell evolution facilitated the evolution of multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms.
 * 4) Explain the process of serial endosymbiosis for how mitochondria and chloroplasts were incorporated into ancestral eukaryotic cells.
 * 5) Explain the difficulties associated with, and modern techniques for, classifying protists.
 * 6) Describe the general niche of protists with respect to nutrition, motility, habitat, niche, and reproduction.
 * 7) Provide examples of several different protists and identify their domain, kingdom, genus and species (scientific name) as well as unique features/characteristics.

There are a few images on this quiz we haven't focused on specifically, but the majority are useful []

A protist matching game! It's pretty fun and might help out with remembering the types of protists + their shapes!! [] []

 * 1) Describe the 4 steps of chemical evolution.
 * 2) Explain why RNA was likely the first genetic material.
 * 3) Define rybozyme.
 * 4) Apply natural selection to protobionts and the evolution of the first cell.
 * 5) Describe conditions of early Earth atmosphere, land, and water.
 * 6) Describe the chronological sequence of significant events in early Earth history and cellular evolution.
