  • They are eukaryotic, meaning they are not bacterias and contain a true nucleus.
  • They can be multicellular or unicellular.
  • Some are heterotrophic, others are autotrophic.
  • Some reproduces sexually and some reproduces asexually. Still others utilize both methods, asexual reproduction inside a host organism and sexual reproduction outside.
  • Many are parasitic and lives in ponds
  • The plant-like protists are thought to be the ancestors of modern plants.
  • The animal-like protists are thought to have been the ancestors of all animals.

Not animal, not plant, not fungus or prokaryote

Is a group of multicellular and eukaryotic organisms mainly composed of plants. They are autotrophs that means that they make their own food. They have chlorophyll enabling it to perform photosynthesis and have a thick cell wall containing cellulose. Plants include trees, bushes, grasses, ferns and green algae.
