Name the two roles protists may play in their environment.
Producers and Parasites
What is the basic unit of organization for all living things?
The cell
These archaea live in very salty ponds or lakes and will die if their water is not salty enough.
Halophiles
These bacteria get energy by breaking down materials in dead or decaying organisms.
