* Protists are a very diverse group of eukaryotes that includes several distinct evolutionary lines
  - also capable of sexual, as well as asexual reproduction, meiosis, and mitosis
  - both unicellular and eukaryotic
  - characterized more by their diversity than by their shared characteristics
  - classified by reproduction, method of obtaining energy, or type of movement
  - complex cells known as eukaryotes
  - diverse and have different adaptations for moment and for finding food
* Protists are divided into protozoa and algae
  - unicellular algae and protozoans
  - essential sources of nutrition for many other organisms
  - eucaryotic unicellular organisms
* Protists are eukaryotes and live in water or in watery tissues of organisms
  - that like moist areas
* Protists are eukaryotes, and most are single-celled
  - thus have more than one chromosome

  - extremely abundant in their habitats
  - found almost anywhere there is water
  - in a class of their own
  - microscopic organisms that are eukaryotic
  - microscopic, mostly unicellular organisms
* Protists are mostly heterotrophic , which means relying on others for nutrition
  - microscopic and have no organs or tissues
  - microscopic, and unicellular organisms
  - single-celled organisms that have a nucleus
* Protists are one celled organisms
  - of the for kingdoms
* Protists are one-celled eukaryotes
  - organisms that are part of the biological kingdom called the protista
  - prokaryotes
  - protozoa which are animal-like that cell walls but are eukaryotic
  - similar to eubacteria with the exception of notable differences
* Protists are single cell eukaryotes found in aquatic environments
  - celled organisms containing organelles
* Protists are single-celled eukaryotes which are organisms with a nucleus
  - microscopic organisms like amoebae
  - the major primary producers, primary consumers, and decomposers in aquatic food chains
* Protists are the most diverse kingdom of eukaryotic organisms
  - diversified of all eukaryotes
  - simplest of eukaryotes
  - thought to have evolved from a. early viruses
  - unicellular and are more complex than bacteria or archaea
  - very different from each other
  - break down cellulose to glucose, transfer some to symbiotic bacteria, ferment the rest
* Protists can be either unicellular or multicellular
  - quite complex
  - single celled or
  - either be free-living or parasitic
  - grow as fast as, or faster than their phytoplankton prey
  - reproduce mitotically, and some are capable of meiosis for sexual reproduction
  - come in many different shapes
  - constitute the largest biodiversity gap in eukaryotes
  - contain organelles
* Protists exhibit a wide range of forms, locomotion, nutriton and reproduction than bacteria
  - the most diverse spectrum of structure and life cycles of all known organisms
* Protists form important symbiotic relationships with other organisms
  - large amounts of cellulose
  - small gametes that fuse together to restore the diploid condition
* Protists function as primary producers in many aquatic ecosystems
  - sources of food for organisms on land and sea
  - in various ecological niches
  - grazing on bacteria can promote decomposition, despite decreased bacterial biomass
* Protists have contractile vacuoles
  - features
  - great reproductive potential and reproduce both by asexual and sexual methods
  - large genomes often much larger than the human genome
  - numerous characteristics that allow for grouping
  - the most varied sexual life histories of the eukaryotes
  - help land-dwelling animals such as cockroaches and termites digest cellulose
* Protists includes cell membranes
  - corpi
  - cytoplasm
  - plasma membranes
  - sections
* Protists live in moist locations such as wet soil or bodies of water
  - termite guts and digest cellulose
  - make food through photosynthesis just like plants make food through photosynthesis
  - manufacture oxygen for marine life
  - obtain energy
  - occupy many niches for life, especially the plankton
  - play a key role in marine food chains
  - represent some of the most diverse branches in the tree of life
  - represents all symmetries and exhibit all types of nutriton
* Protists reproduce both sexually and asexually
  - by a variety of mechanisms
  - seem to share certain characteristics even when they are classified into different groups
  - show the three basic types of sexual life cycles, with some other variants, too
* Protists use contractile vacuoles to remove excess water from their cells
* Some protist can also be fungi-like.
* Some protists are animal-like and are called protozoa
  - as small as prokaryotes
  - autotrophs but others are heterotrophs
* Some protists are heterotrophs, a group of phyla called the protozoa
  - some are autotrophs, and others are both
  - large enough to surround and ingest bacteria and archaea
  - more closely related to plants, animals, or fungi than they are to other protists
  - photoautotrophs with chloroplasts
  - unicellular and some are multicellular
  - can carry out photosynthesis
* Some protists cause diseases
  - malaria
  - red tide
  - contain wood
  - eat algae
* Some protists have characteristics of more than one group
  - one or more flagella, which they rotate or whip
* Some protists live in environments
  - freshwater environments
  - the gut of termites
  - within the bodies of animals
  - make their own food
* Some protists move around, while others stay in one place
  - by changing their cell shape, and some move by means of specilized organnelles
  - toward light, while others move away
  - with the help of long, whip-like and fine structures, flagella
* Some protists produce cellulose
  - nutrients
  - provide nutrients
  - reproduce asexually by mitosis
* Some protists undergo meiosis
* Some protists use fission
  - multiple fission.
  * Most protists are very small. Some algae are protists, if they are single-celled. Many protists are part of the plankton and are very important for the ecosystem. The cells found in protists may be extremely complex, and are often little understood. It is now possible to do DNA sequencing, and a number of protists have been analysed. The results show that the Protista is not a monophyletic group.

The results show that the Protista is not a monophyletic group. It is paraphyletic, and not a single clade. The taxonomy of the Protista is therefore rather confused
+ Flagellate
  * Flagellates' are cells with one or more whip-like organelles called flagella. Some cells in animals may be flagellate, for instance the spermatozoa of most phyla. Higher plants and fungi do not produce flagellate cells, but the closely related green algae and chytrids do. Many protists take the form of single-celled flagellates. They are found in most lines of eukaryotes, and it is likely that all surviving eukaryotes developed from them.
