Question

A microbiologist is in the process of classifying a newly discovered organism. Its characteristics include:

· eukaryotic
· multicellular
· reproduces by spores
· motile in some stage of its life cycle
· decomposer
Which type of organism is it most likely to be?

Answer 1

Fungus-like protist.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is fungus-like protist.

Since it is eukaryotic, it can be either Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. In all of these groups, multicellular organisms can be found. But spore reproduction and a motility in some stages of its life cycle, suggest it can be protist. Since it is a decomposer, it is probably some fungus-like protist, probably slime molds.
