If an environment is constantly changing.

Explanation / Answer
1) Option 3 is the correct answer.
Algal proteins are mostly phosynthetic and contain chloroplasts, however there are some lineages of algal protists that are symbiotic or parasitic in nature such as alveolates and red algae (Rhodophytes).
2) Option 1 is the correct answer.
If the environment is sufficiently rich in nutrients, then the protists inhabitating in such kind of environment would most likely be heterotrophic in nature.
