Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The organism is classified as protist or plant based on whether is single celled or multicellular and whether it makes its own food.

Explanation:

Both, protists and plants are eukaryotic meaning that these have nucleus in their cells and organelles  bound by membrane. Unlike plants which may be multicellular, protists are single celled. Hence, a botanist must investigate to find if the cells are multicellular or not.

Another important feature is that if the botanists finds that the organism produces its own food, then it is a plant. As plants get their own food by combining the sunlight captured with carbon dioxide from the air through process called photosynthesis.

Am I right? A scientist makes a discovery that suggests a hominid species created and used relatively sophisticated tools. The scientist decides to publish his findings. Which of the following sources would be regarded as the most reliable? A scientific magazine article A college or university website A film on anthropology A journal reviewed by peers

Answers

The discovery should be first published in a journal to be reviewed by other scientists to ensure that it is correct/repeatable. After this, the discovery would most probably be reported in scientific magazines and then in newspapers, important discoveries would probably be reported by newspaper quickly though which leaves the potential for a discovery to be untested and incorrect.
ermm i mean a journal reviewed by peers you mean by other professionals working into that field?  Everything else seems to be correct i would do a little more research on that.
