Extra Credit: Review Questions for Protist Quiz

One of my students commented that test prep would be helpful, since (on average) you all do worse on exams than anything else. So I will implement a new extra credit opportunity and see if it helps. For 1 point extra credit, come up with a multiple choice quiz question with at least 4 answer choices. Write your question in the comments section of this post. On days where we have extra time after lecture, we will review your questions together as a class. Writing the quiz question helps you to think about what information is relevant and organize it. And reviewing it as a class helps your classmates. Exceptionally good questions might even be included in upcoming quizzes.

So for this section on protists, come up with one multiple choice question using information from lectures, your lab, the textbook, and any other relevant resources. Try to avoid questions that merely ask "What does [x] mean?" Remember to include your name and period.
