Best Answer

Protists are eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants, animals, fungi, or bacterias.

The 5 Super groups of Protists Include: Excavata, Chromalveolates, Rhizaria, Archaeplastida, and Unikonts.

Excavata: Diplomonads, Parabalalids, Eugleozoans (Kinetoplastids and Euglenids)

Chromalveolates: 1. Alveolates (Dinoflagellates, Apicomplexans, Ciliates) 2. Stramenophiles ( Golden Algae, Brown Algae, Diatoms, and Oomycetes)

Rhizaria: Chlorarachniophytes, Forams, Radiolarians

Archaeplastida: Red Algae, Green Algae (Cholorophytes, Charophyceans), Land Plants*

Unikonts: Amoebazoans (Slime mold, Gymnamoebas, Entamoebas), and Opisthokonts ( Nucleariids, Fungi*, Choanoflagellates, Animals*)

* Although these Eukaryotic groups are also kingdoms, they share similarities to certain groups of Protists. The protist kingdom is a very diverse and vast grouping that is sometimes difficult to characterize.

A protist is not an animal, its a single-celled organism (not technically an organism) and can "swim" in anything----------------A protist can be an animal (paramecium). A protist can be multicellular (algae) A protist is an organism because it can respond to stimuli, reproduce, develop and maintain homeostasis. They can swim in any fluid as long as it is not toxic or uninhabitable (boiling water, liquid nitrogen, sulfuric acid)) for their species.
