NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Protists are eukaryotes, which means their cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most, but not all, protists are single-celled. Other than these features, they have very little in common. You can think about protists as all eukaryotic organisms that are neither animals, nor plants, nor fungi.

Detailed explanation-2: -protist, any member of a group of diverse eukaryotic, predominantly unicellular microscopic organisms. They may share certain morphological and physiological characteristics with animals or plants or both.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protists are a heterogeneous group of eukaryotes that are negatively defined as not belonging to the animal, fungal, or plant kingdoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protists are eukaryotes as they possess a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (structures that perform a specific job). At one time, simple organisms such as amoebas and single-celled algae were classified together in a single taxonomic category: the kingdom Protista.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protists have a nucleus because they are eukaryotic organisms. Usually, protist cells contain a single nucleus (they are mononucleate). However, many protists are multinucleated, meaning they contain many nuclei.
