Detailed explanation-2: -Protists lack tissue organization. Cells of some (but not all) protists are surrounded by rigid cell wall of varying composition. Many protists are motile due to the presence of flagella or cilia, or are capable of amoeboid movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Coccolithophores, most diatoms, and non‐motile species of Phaeocystis Among protozoans the parasitic Apicomplexa are non‐motile.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Protists, the important mechanism of locomotion is through the use of different structures such as pseudopodia, flagella, cilia, wriggling and locomotion through mucilage propulsion.
