Yes in fact, may protists do undergo photosynthesis. For example, the euglena. It is what is called photoautotrophic because it uses light as an energy source (photo-) and its carbon source is CO2 (-autotrophic).

∙ 9y agoSome protists are able to photosynthesize. These include noctiluca, ptychodiscus, ceratium, and gonyaulax. Dinoflagellates are the key protists that photosynthesize. Algae also photosynthesize.
