Use the following information to answer the questions below.
Golden algae are a group of photosynthetic protists whose colour is due to carotenoid pigments: yellow and brown. A group of students was given a significant sample of golden algae (Dinobryon); this algae is colonial and has flagella. Their instructions for the project were to design two or more experiments that could be done with these organisms.

-Since these organisms are protists, which of these characteristics could the students assume to be true?
A)The organisms are photosynthetic.
B)All of them are marine.
C)They are single-celled.
D)They have membrane-bound organelles.
E)Each has a single circular molecule of DNA.

Protists are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they have membrane-bound organelles. Not all protists are photosynthetic, marine, or single-celled, and they do not have a single circular molecule of DNA, which is characteristic of prokaryotes.
