Discuss the status of kingdom Protista as paraphyletic or polyphyletic

Paraphyletic: Some protist are more closely related to plants, fungi, or animals than they are to other protists. 

Polyphyletic: The kingdom contains organisms from more than one ancestral lineages. 

Poikilothermic

 A plant or animal whose internal temperature varies along with that of the environmental temperature. 

Natural Selection

Mechanism of adaptive evolution where some organisms a able to reproduce more than others.

Reproductive Isolation

The existence of biological factors (barriers) that impede members of two species from producing viable, fertile offspring.

Mycorrhiza

A symbiotic (generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant. The fungi can improve delivery of phosphate ions to plants and the plants supply the fungi with organic nutrients (carbohydrates).
