In 1996, Carl Woese conducted a detailed analysis of living organisms. He revealed
that all organisms could be classified into three distinct groups. TIhese groups, called

We discussed two theories of the evolution of multicellularity in the animals, the Colonial Theory and the Syncytial Theory. For each of the two theories, give a brief summary of the theory and describe the characteristics you would expect to find in the protist ancestor proposed by each theory.
Describe the morphology of oomycetes.

Which group of protists have elaborate exteriors of glassy silica and are very common in the fossil record?
What supergroup do land plants share a common ancestor with?
What protists are common in tropical waters and are generally called “seaweeds?”
Which of the algaes are the furthest living relatives to land plants?
