Detailed explanation-1: -Protists are simple eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants nor animals or fungi. Protists are unicellular in nature but can also be found as a colony of cells. Most protists live in water, damp terrestrial environments or even as parasites.
Detailed explanation-2: -Kingdom Protista includes all eukaryotes that are not animals, plants, or fungi. Kingdom Protista is very diverse. It consists of both single-celled and mult icell ular organisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most plant-like protists are single celled but some live in colonies or are multicellular making up red, brown (kelp/seaweed), and green algae. Plant-like protists are responsible for producing most of earth’s oxygen.
Detailed explanation-4: -Animal-like protists are unicellular eukaryotes that share certain traits with animals, such as mobility and heterotrophy. Plant-like protists are unicellular or multicellular autotrophs that live in soil, in seawater, on the outer covering of plants, and in ponds and lakes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Kingdom protista consists of unicellular eukaryotic organisms. They form a bridge between the unicellular prokaryotes in the Kingdom Monera and multicellular eukaryotes in Kingdom Fungi. Ernst Haeckel introduced this Kingdom in 1866.
