NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Protists such as moulds and algae are multicellular, i.e., they are made up of more than one cell. Amoeba, paramecium and euglena are unicellular organisms belonging to kingdom Protista.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Kingdom Protista includes a diverse group of organisms (such as algae and protozoa) that have little in common. Its members are eukaryotes, but not plants, animals, or fungi. Protists may be unicellular, colonial or multicellular.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kingdom Animalia includes all multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms whereas, the kingdom Protista includes all unicellular, eukaryotic and heterotrophic organisms. Hence, Protozoans are placed under the kingdom Protista instead of the kingdom Animalia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Kingdom Protista is divided into three groups, grouped by lifestyle: the protozoans, the slime molds and algae. Protozoans include all protists that ingest their food and live in aquatic habitats, such as ponds, drops of water in soil, or the digestive tracts of animals.

Detailed explanation-5: -The kingdom Protista includes the protozoa, slime molds, and algae. Protozoa can be divided into four phyla based on their locomotion: Mastigophora, Sarcodina, Ciliophora, and Sporozoa.
