The protists do not have much in common besides a relatively simple organization[3] - either they are unicellular, or they are multicellular without specialized tissues. This simple cellular organization distinguishes the protists from other eukaryotes, such as fungi, animals and plants.
Protists live in almost any environment that contains liquid water. Many protists, such as the algae, are photosynthetic and are vital primary producers in ecosystems, particularly in the ocean as part of the plankton. Other protists, such as the Kinetoplastids and Apicomplexa are responsible for a range of serious human diseases, such as malaria and sleeping sickness.

What are characteristics all protists?
All protists have cells containing at least one nucleus, internal membranes, and other typical cell structures
Do protists move?
yes they actually can. they have structures which allow them to move across. The cilia (tiny hair like structures), flagella (whip like structures), or pseudopod whoch acts like a foot.
What are animal like protists that use structures for movement and for feeding and are members of the phylum Sarcodina?
Pseudopods are animals that are like protists. These animals are members of the phylum sarcodina and use structures for movement.
What structures are present in protists that are also present in human cells?
Protists are Eukaryotic cells, so they will have a nucleus (and a nucleolus), like humans.
What are short threadlike structures extending from cell membranes of protists?
pooppulitus

Animal like protists that use structures called?
Animal-like protists that use structures called pseudopods to trap their food. These animal-like protists are known as protozoans and are believed to be the first evolutionary animals. .

How are monerans and protists?
Monerans or prokaryotes are similar to protists because they are both unicellular. Their modes of locomotion is through the use of structures like flagella and cilia.
Which is the group includes organisms all of which are absorptive in their nutrition?
protists
Are protists producers?
Some protists are producers. They contain special structures called chloroplasts that capture solar energy in order to perform the process of photosynthesis.
Are protists parasites?
not all, but most protists are parasites
Why do protists have appendage or flagella?
Protists have appendages like flagella to help them move and navigate through their environment. These structures enable protists to swim and propel themselves, allowing them to find food, avoid predators, and locate favorable conditions for survival. Appendages and flagella are vital adaptations for protists' motility.
How do protists move from place to place?
From moving their tiny hair-like structures, whip-like structures, etc. Sorry, I don't know more.
