Suppose you accidentally find an old preserved permanent slide without a label. In order to identify it, you place the slide under microscope and observe the following features:
(i) Unicellular
(ii) Well defined nucleus
(iii) Biflagellate - one long flagellum, lying longitudinally and the other short flagellum.
What would you identify it as? Also name the kingdom it belongs to.

A

Diatom , Fungi

B

Trypanosoma , Monera

C

Paramecium , Animalia

D

Euglena , Protista

The correct Answer is:
To identify the organism on the old preserved permanent slide, we will analyze the observed features step by step: 1. **Unicellular**: The organism is made up of a single cell. This indicates that it is either a type of protist, bacteria, or some fungi, as multicellular organisms are typically more complex. **Hint**: Look for organisms that are known to be unicellular, such as protists or certain types of bacteria. 2. **Well-defined nucleus**: The presence of a well-defined nucleus suggests that the organism is a eukaryote. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, do not have a well-defined nucleus. This further narrows down our options to eukaryotic organisms. **Hint**: Remember that eukaryotic organisms have a nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane, while prokaryotic organisms do not. 3. **Biflagellate**: The organism has two flagella, one long and one short. This characteristic is typical of certain types of protists. Flagella are used for locomotion, which indicates that the organism is motile. **Hint**: Consider organisms that are known to have flagella for movement, particularly in the protist group. Now, based on these observations, we can conclude: - The organism is unicellular, has a well-defined nucleus, and is biflagellate. - These characteristics are consistent with **Euglena**, a genus of protists that are known to have one long and one short flagellum. Finally, regarding the kingdom, **Euglena** belongs to the **Kingdom Protista**. **Final Answer**: The organism can be identified as **Euglena**, and it belongs to the **Kingdom Protista**. ---
