Question

Which sentence about protists is accurate?
All protists are unicellular and microscopic in nature. They have organelles, so protists are eukaryotic in nature. All protists make their own energy through photosynthesis.

Answer 1

The most accurate sentence is: They have organelles, so protists are eukaryotic in nature.

Only SOME protists can be considered unicellular and can make their own energy through photosynthesis. These protists are considered "plant-like" and include phytoplankton and unicellular algae.

Answer 2

First thing you need to do to answer this question, is to observe it carefully. The question asks for the most "accurate", not the "correct" answer. That's . because in nature and in biology, there are always some exceptions.

All protists are unicellular and microscopic in nature - this is not that accurate, because there are some very noticeable exceptions.

They have organelles, so protists are eukaryotic in nature - this is correct, since protists are indeed eukaryotic.

All protists make their own energy through photosynthesis - the accuracy of this statement is 0, since not all protists make their own energy that way. Metabolism-wise, protists can be photoautotrophs or chemoheterotrophs to be accurate.
