✓
Answer
The characteristics of Kingdom Protista are:
- This kingdom includes unicellular algae, diatoms and protozoans.
- The organisms in this kingdom are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms.
- Mode of nutrition is either autotrophic (algae and diatoms) or heterotrophic (protozoans).
- Some protists bear hair like cilia or whip like flagella for movement.
- In some protists like Amoeba movement takes place by pseudopodia.
- It reproduces by binary fission and multiple fission.
- Respiration takes place by diffusion.

One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound $P$ is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to $P$, brisk effervescence are produced. When 50g of reactant $P$ was heated strongly, than $22g$ of a gas $Q$ and $28g$ of a solid $R$ were produced as products. Gas $Q$ is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute $HCl$ to $P$. Gas $Q$ is said to cause global warming whereas solid $R$ is used for white-washing.
→- What is $(i)$ solid $P$ $(ii)$ gas $Q$, and $(iii)$ solid $R$.
