Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of protists include various unicellular red algae, such as Cyanidioschyzon merolae; unicelluar green algae, such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii; and marine diatoms, such as Thalassiosira pseudonana.

Detailed explanation-2: -Habitats. Nearly all protists exist in some type of aquatic environment, including freshwater and marine environments, damp soil, and even snow. Several protist species are parasites that infect animals or plants. A few protist species live on dead organisms or their wastes, and contribute to their decay.

Detailed explanation-3: -Algae, amoebas, euglena, plasmodium, and slime moulds are examples of protists. Algae, diatoms, dinoflagellates, and euglena are only a few examples of photosynthesis-capable protists. Although most of these species are unicellular, they may form colonies.
