No. ....But as you probably guessed, they are related.

This is the naming system referred to as Traditional Whittaker system of classification.

There are 5 Kingdoms:

Monerans, Plants, Fungi, Animals, and PROTISTS.

Then you have those 5 broken down into subkingdoms, (then phylum, class, order, family genus, and species.) Protistshave 2 subkingdoms: Algae, and PROTOZOA.

(The Protozoa subkingdom consists of these 7 phyla: Sarcomastigophora, Ciliophora, Apicomplexa, Microspora, Ascetospora, Myxozoa and Labyrinthomorpha.) Protozoas are heterotrophs, which means, they rely on organic nutrition to get chemical energy.

So, not all Protists are Protozoa, some Protists are Algae.

I hope that helps.
